Anthem Tax Services Reviews

An absolute idiot attorney didn’t know what he was doing, and he had somebody look up my record and said that I had 30 judgments against me. The attorney said that there must be some kind of mistake and I told him it was on his end. It cost me $10,000 to use Anthem to prove I didn’t have anything. I’ve lived here in Virginia Beach all my life and I didn’t trust anybody. I wasn’t happy with the alternatives here and I went online. Lo and behold, I saw Anthem. I called and I enjoyed talking with the rep. I figured he would help me and he sure did. He was a wonderful person and his staff were terrific. I had them do an individual tax preparation and checking to see if I owed the IRS anything, which I didn’t. They kept calling and asking why I was having them do it. I told them that the attorney said I needed to. He couldn’t close on a house that I was selling because I had all these things against it.

Anthem was the first one I chose and I developed a good relationship with Josh over there. They worked together to handle my stuff quickly and efficiently. I owed almost $20,000 in taxes from selling some land and stuff that I hadn't paid going through a divorce. So, I got audited and I ended up paying their fee plus $100 to the IRS. It was a two-year probation plan with the IRS and those I filed on time. I never had to pay that back. Anthem's process was easy. I gave them my information then I paid the fee and they handled everything from there. Right now, I have been trying to get some returns from last year and Josh is still helping me with that even though my deal with them was already done and over with. He’s been capable of handling everything I needed, always gets back to me in a timely manner, and handles my business. All in all, I was very satisfied with my experience with Anthem.

My wife forgot to put money aside for her 1099 and our tax bill came to like six grand. Right around tax time I spoke to Alex who was phenomenal. He laid everything out and would call on weekends. He was very professional, very friendly, very helpful and supportive. He’s really been a godsend for us. He got us involved with a lady and everything was transferred to a power of attorney. We’re still waiting for our liability. I haven't heard anything about that yet and it's been 3 or 4 weeks so I don’t know where we’re at. I would like a little bit more communication. We got spoiled with Alex and all of a sudden, it just dropped off. After the initial process, a little bit more follow-up or contact would be great so I'm not worried about where I'm at. But I would recommend Alex and Anthem Tax Services to anybody and everybody, and I already have.

Updated on 7/31/2019: The team at Anthem Tax Services have responded positively to my grievances and proceeded to work on the issues that I experienced which I reported about them here. I understand now that the frustrations that I experienced were not due to their inability to perform the tasks, as they promised, on my behalf but it's due to some understandable circumstances. With my input of some missing information I am very hopeful that now they are doing their best to help me reach a positive resolution on my case.

My husband has a tax problem but we can't afford to pay because of some financial hardship. We had so many deaths in our family last year and then my husband is also not in a good medical condition. That's why I needed help to do the IRS. I spoke with Joshua at Anthem and he helped me. He is very good. He explained everything to me in detail. He is also very honest. He would tell me if he can help me or not. I would highly recommend Anthem because they are being so fair with people who needs help and the processing is so fast. They worked with me, in terms of what I needed to submit, and they tried to negotiate it and submit. Nothing is final but it's on the IRS' hand now. They have received it and they're gonna review it. It helps me not to worry much, not like when you don't know what to do. Hopefully, everything will turn out okay.

I had some old back tax issues. I made some phone calls to a few different tax services companies and the people that I spoke with at Anthem were very helpful, and courteous, and they seemed much more concerned about my actual issues, as opposed to just getting a sale. And I felt like I wasn’t just a statistic. I spoke directly with Jake and he was great. He was very clear about what was gonna happen. The paperwork was sent to me right away, and it took me a couple of days to get everything back to them. Then I was able to get everything really quickly. Now, everything is resolved. It was a great experience with Anthem Tax Services.

I did some research online as to which was the best company and I was extremely leery because I’ve heard of people who have had not gotten great results with this particular thing. The enrollment process with Anthem Tax Services was extremely smooth. At the time, I worked in an office and all the paperwork had to be emailed to them. They sent out a checklist of everything that they wanted. I started off with a guy named Charlie and then I went to the attorney’s assistant. Then from there, once the case was handled, I spoke directly with the attorney twice. She kept me up-to-date on where my case was going.

Over the years, I owed money and every time I paid my tax return, it was all going into federal tax. But even with that, my taxes were increasing. Then after I had 6,000, I received a bad letter from the IRS. I contacted a guy from Anthem Tax Services and he helped me out with everything. Right now, I'm paying monthly and he is resolving the problem. I would recommend Anthem.

We were looking to do an offer in compromise and we found Anthem. We looked at ratings and the typical reviews, and made a gut decision to go with them. They were also close. They were just 40 minutes north of us. The process took longer than we thought. But it was easy. The rep we worked with was friendly, very knowledgeable, responsive and helpful. He took care of things when he said he was going to and they were able to get rid of $50,000 of back taxes. We settled for like $100 which is a pretty good deal. I got rid of a lot of debt and now, I don't have to pay back. So that's a big impact of working with Anthem. I would give them a positive recommendation. The experience was great.

Anthem was closest to me and that was why I chose to work with them. Enrolling was real easy too. I talked to them over the phone and sent them the documents that I had from the IRS. That was it. At this point, they had set up a payment plan with the IRS until they can get the offer in compromise done.

Anthem's services and staff were good. I worked with Minji and I was impressed with the professionalism I was shown. Working with Anthem has been a positive experience for me. I chose them since the prices that they offered were competitive with the other companies and their reviews were all good. Enrolling and interviewing with them happened in about a week's timeframe. Working with them has been for the better. I have a better credit score now and the huge thing is not owing federal or state taxes anymore for all those years. It’s like a heavy truck lifted off my shoulders.

I had a past employer do some fraudulence on my tax forms. Anthem Tax redid my taxes for that year though, and they got the fraud taken out. I owed the IRS around 10 grand because my previous company said they paid me a whole bunch of money they had never paid me. But the Anthem Tax rep took good care of me. He filed the two past years for me and got me all the money back. I regularly go to H&R Block before to file my taxes. This was my first time having to use a tax attorney like that, and it was excellent.

Anthem Tax Services has helped me in a huge way. I had not filed for a few years. With 3-4 sources of income, things had became a nightmare. They helped me with grade-A customer service and professionalism to organize and prepare everything. Thanks to them I feel as stress free as can be! Special thanks to Josh and Shannon! I will be doing business with them until retirement.

I was at a truck stop right on the Louisiana-Texas border and saw an Anthem Tax Services brochure. It was about tax time and I figured since they were in a truck stop and advertising in a truck stop, they might be proficient in the certain tax advantages that truckers get. I called them and then went from there. But it did not go well.

I called Anthem and they said that they would be able to help me. So, I responded back to them. But my experience in communicating with their reps was poor because they didn't get back to me and I feel like I didn't get anything for my money. I paid $3,500 and right after I did that, I got a response from the IRS, which I had contacted directly and they approved me for a payment program. Anthem said that they would be able to help me with penalties and interest that I was being charged but to this day, I haven't heard of a single thing back and I haven't got a dime of anything reduced.

I had a good experience with Anthem Tax Services. It was very easy to get set up with them and working with them has impacted my life a lot.

I needed to reduce my taxes so I looked at online ratings of tax companies and decided to go with Anthem Tax Services. They said they would speak and negotiate on my behalf. When I signed up, I spoke to someone that filled me on the program. And once I paid my money, I started dealing with Brandi. She gathered the information initially, but I haven’t heard from her since. Anthem Tax Services got me a reduced amount and I’m now on a manageable payment plan which I appreciate but I’ve never gotten anything in writing. It was just poor communication. As of now, I don’t know what’s going on. Dealing with Anthem Tax Services was helpful, but for the amount of money that I paid, I expected some communication and feedback particularly from sending emails. However, I didn’t get a response back which was very frustrating.

I needed help with my taxes and my friend referred Anthem Tax Services to me. Their reps were very much professional, courteous and helped me with everything. I did an individual tax preparation through them. Robert, one of the tax specialists, was very helpful. They were very understanding and I would recommend them if anyone else needs them.

I don’t do taxes myself so I needed someone to do taxes and I am satisfied with Anthem Tax Services. They were the first company that reached out to me. I didn’t know a lot about them but they gave me the information I was looking for. Also, when I talked to them, they said they service my area even though it is far unlike the other company that does not service my area. I signed up with Anthem online and then one of the attorneys called me and explained the program and it went on from there. They answered the questions I needed to hear and reached out to me. They are filing my taxes. In fact, I signed a power of attorney to retain for a few years and they will be watching and making sure that my taxes are correct. I was also being questioned about my home-based business at that time and I just filed it with them. I think that tax is for eight years so I wanted to get that completed although it seemed like I was like going in unended circles.

Anthem's reviews made me get their services. The enrollment process was easy and since working with them, I haven't been as stressed out about trying to take care of my issue. They were able to do what I couldn't do in the past five years with the IRS. They got a hold of them, gave me an honest answer, and got me on a payment plan. Now my program is almost completed and I only have a few back-to-back updates and such left.

My husband worked for a company and it was a self-employment deal. But it wasn’t all it made out to be and it cost us about $12,000 in cash. I researched online and after talking to a few different places, we went with Anthem Tax Services. I communicated with David who was good at his job and he did all that he thought he could do. But there wasn’t really much except for that we had to come to a settlement to pay our taxes. We were in constant communication with Anthem and they always took my calls. They knew what they were doing as far as the law and everybody that I spoke with was kind and knowledgeable. David was on the phone with the IRS every day, trying to do something best, and I wish the amount due could have been lower but he got us the smallest possible payment that he could. I’d recommend this company to anybody.

I had to pay what I owed the IRS. I went through a couple of different companies and I wasn’t satisfied with them. I ended up with Anthem Tax Services. I told their rep what my problem was and I was told that they were gonna save me. I thought we were gonna save money but we didn’t and it was a hocus pocus. I owed 49,000 but they told me it was supposed to be $10,000. I could have gone through the IRS on my own and did the same thing but I had to pay a fee of $3,800 which could have paid my balance off. Anthem’s reps kept on telling me not to contact the IRS. Also, what they promised me was not on paper. When I spoke with them about it, they kept on giving me the runaround. I had to talk to this person and talk to that person, so I really never got the true thing. I was told that they kept me from getting liens but it was not worth $10,000. I owed just as much paying them and I still come out paying more.

I owed a lot to the IRS. While the other companies told me that they couldn't help me, Anthem told me they could so I went ahead, got their services, and paid them upfront. However, they were not able to help me in getting my taxes reduced. The IRS didn't approve it and I had to pay the full thing on my own. I was a little disappointed about that but it wasn't Anthem's fault. They tried their best to do what they could. They were very knowledgeable and very helpful.

I had some back taxes and filings that I wasn't able to file and so I started searching for tax repair through Anthem. When I enrolled, I didn't have to do much. Josh was the rep that I spoke to and he told me that he could work with me. He convinced me and I decided to move forward with him. He set me up where everything's good with the government and he got everything straightened out. Also, while he is in California and I'm in Kansas, he called me whenever he needed to call me and I called him whenever I needed to call him. We just worked. Everything worked out great. Anthem provided good service and it's been a good deal.

I wound up owing the government quite a bit of money with the changes they made to health insurance. I haven't changed anything as far as withholdings, but with my income, insurance calls me to be over the threshold to get government assistance. But at the same time, there was no way I could afford insurance on what I was making without it. Anthem Tax Services was the first one that called me back. The only issue I had was I got changed around and handed off to different people. I wound up working with four. But overall, they did an okay job. They could've been a little bit more forthcoming about my situation and what the outcome would be with my situation. They did help me, but they didn't help me with my situation.

The tax issue has been resolved, the Owner of the Company (Anthem) called me directly and we worked things out. There were misunderstandings and miscommunication. Josh was helpful and worked hard to get the matter behind us and refunded all the monies.

Anthem's reps were very responsive. I needed to negotiate my tax bill down and they were quick to get me with somebody who could assess my situation. Enrolling was super easy. The initial person I talked to walked me through the process, told me how to pay for the service and got me in touch with some other folks who were gonna help. They contacted me quickly after that phone call and kept me updated. Thus far, they have gotten my tax bill down and cut in half. I'm super pleased with Anthem's service.

I got turned over to Anthem Tax after I couldn't find the other company I was with. I told Anthem that the IRS is charging me $2,500. They said that if I pay them $200, then they would take care of my taxes and I won't have to worry about it anymore. After about 2 or 3 months, what happened was they took care of all my credit cards but they didn't pay the interest on the credit cards. Then they said that they couldn't do anything and that the IRS said that I had to pay the taxes. So, they were never able to stop what they were trying to take care of and I wound up paying the same amount to the IRS after being charged the 200. I was disappointed.

We came across Anthem Tax Services on the Better Business Bureau website. They had good reviews and they were a member of the Better Business Bureau. We talked with someone who explained the program to us and how it worked. We paid him the fee, then we had to wait for someone out in California to get in touch with us to give us additional information as to what we needed to do from there. However, their customer service is a bit lacking, and it may have been the person that we had. We were disappointed in that part of it because we had to go back and get in touch with the person in California who first told us about it to get him to get someone to call us to give us information.

At first, many times I asked Anthem Tax Services to have an appointment at office, but they just asked me to send my document by the PDF and Gmail. And every time that I asked them, "What is your address? I just want to talk to one of your accountants," they said, "Oh, we're in a changing office so we don’t have an office yet." Also, they emailed me in October of last year one minute before the deadline that they would file my tax. And then this year, I went to my other tax guy and he look at my previous tax and he said, "Who filed this tax? It's all wrong." Anthem told me that I owe $3,000 to IRS and they changed it four times. They gave me the voucher for the 2018, but that had the tax for the 2017. And now, I'm just waiting for my current accountant to figure out that the money that I paid for 2017 tax is on IRS on my 2018. Anthem's reps have zero professionalism.

Anthem Tax Services helped me get my incorporation. I initially talked to someone named David and we had a really good conversation. When I explained to him that I was planning an incorporation and told him my vision for my company, he gave me the best suggestion and that was why I went with Anthem. He also had communication with me going in the process. The whole thing moved along a really reasonable time frame and Anthem's customer service was excellent. I talked to IRS about doing everything myself and they told me that it was gonna take me a minute to go through all of the paperwork. With Anthem, it was easy when we actually signed everything. Also, since using Anthem, my credit rating has gone up by 100 points and I have gotten several new accounts.

Anthem Tax didn’t help me at all. We sent $5,000 but I didn’t get anything out of it. The sales guy from Anthem Tax was easy to get ahold of every time we called him. He was okay at first but then at the end, it was a pain to even get ahold of him. I told the guy at Anthem that there was no way that I could meet the IRS agent and he said that he told him and that I could meet him on Monday. However, he never even called the IRS agent. When I talked to the IRS agent, he said he was waiting for us to call him. The Anthem Tax rep supposedly worked on a payment plan which cost me $80,000. Three months later, he called and said he was doing a bunch of stuff that I have to pay. I’m going through the whole process again without them.

Our experience with Anthem Tax has been very good so far. We researched them online, and I got some very good reviews. I also spoke to a couple people that have used them, and I decided to proceed. The enrollment process was extremely easy. All I had to do was submit them my bills after we had our conversations about what could be accomplished. They’ve been doing very well by it.

Anthem Tax Services was affordable. They were in my price range. The rep I worked with did what he said he would do. He kept me in the loop of what was going on. Everything was good. I was in a tough bind, and I'm very grateful that they were able to help me. I would recommend Anthem.

I went online and contacted about five companies, and Anthem Tax Services was the only one that called me back in a reasonable amount of time. I owe the IRS a bunch of taxes, and they worked with me on that. However, the rep was really hard to get a hold of when I needed to talk to him. And it was like my problem wasn't big enough to really matter to him much. When I called him, "Let me look at the file, let me do this." He never took the time to even look at my case. Anthem Tax Services got some of my stuff dropped, but it wasn't like the promise they said in the advertising.

It was fairly easy to enroll with Anthem. When I first signed up, I felt like everything was going accordingly. Everything was moving pretty fast. Originally, I got the Anthem that is in California. However, when they transferred me to the Anthem that is in Orlando 'cause it was closer to me, it seemed that the one in California is the one on the ball. They were able and on-point with everything. With the one in Orlando, I had to keep calling them to ask what's going on. They tell me that they needed me to do something and I responded by asking why I never got a phone call. Even if their staff emailed me, they have my number and they should have at least called. Every day, I felt like I should’ve been reaching out to Anthem to find out what's going on. I was six months in and I still didn't know anything.

Trying to get my tax payers in order by myself was really difficult. I reached out to Anthem Tax Services after I found them online. On the IRS website, it showed them as number one. They arbitrated my taxes. What I owed, they did an arbitration on it. We've already settled everything. We're making payments. From what I understand, it has to be reviewed every year. So I'll be in the process with them for another length of time.

I love Anthem Tax. They’re helping me do my taxes and their service is great. I’m with Josh and he’s very informative. My experience has been amazing and I’ve been referring my friends to them.

I had a tax debt. I found Anthem Tax Services on Google. They had a good review so I called them up and they seemed very helpful on the phone. My whole initial experience was good. Friendly people. They were really good and they did the whole claim thing just fine. They did what I paid them to do. They told me they're throwing it in for free at the end, and that's what happened.

Anthem provided me with tax debt relief and everybody who helped did a wonderful job. Getting a hold of Anthem to ask questions wasn't hard. I would either call them or leave an email and they would get back to me. They should market themselves a little bit more though. The sooner people know about them, the better off they would be.

I worked with Anthem Tax Services last year with a tax issue and then this year, I decided to go with them again due to their customer service. I used to get my taxes done through another company. But they’re very commercial and corporate. Anthem would offer something more and I wanted to deepen a relationship with stuff that I already know. Also, the program was quick and painless. I don’t have to sit in anyone’s office, talking to them and I can do everything over email.

I was looking for some help to consolidate my income tax. It had gotten big and there was a portion that was unpaid. Also, the interest rate that has grown on it was exponential to the point where I wanted to see if I could reach out to one of these tax services. Anthem Tax Services came up. They had good reviews, and I gave them a call. Anthem was the first ones who called me back when I sent them the information that I had. During the callback, I asked the questions and the rep answered them thoroughly, to the point where I felt comfortable enough to move forward, and I’m glad I did. Once I did, everything was really easy. The enrolment was seamless. This is my first time ever dealing with this type of service. I’m busy during my workday, and Anthem made it easy for me to get the consolidation of my income tax done, all the while, I was still doing my regular job.

I was trying to deal with the IRS. I went to many accountants but my final decision was with Anthem Tax Services because it's very trustful people and I'm very happy with them. They deal with people who have some debt with the IRS. I conducted business with Jo so she took care of everything in this company. Everything is very fast and this is very nice. I have visited even the office there so I wanted to speak with the real people, to see who is dealing with, and they have everything. I'm about to complete the program and Anthem is about to finalize everything.

I had concerns with state taxes and made a few phone calls to quite a few of the tax service companies. I got a couple of responses back, and Anthem Tax Services got back to me faster than anyone else. The enrollment process with Anthem was easy. We gave them money and they were good to go. I was comfortable working with the reps at Anthem. And if I had questions, they resolve them via phone calls and emails.

We had really good recommendations for Josh from Anthem. He got us back a lot of money because my husband hadn’t done his taxes in a couple of years, so he was really good with the tax returns, getting all the paperwork on file and separating all our income and tax reductions. He was always attentive and available for any questions or concerns that we had. I’m fully satisfied. We’ve referred our friends that have a lot of troubles ‘cause Anthem works for a lot of companies instead of one specific income.

Anthem took care of my tax debt. It was really easy and they did all the work. Because I’m retired now, I get social security so it’s been a blessing. The reps were real good too.

They helped me out twice. I could not have done it without them and now I am debt free.

I had a giant tax bill that I was not expecting and it was not in line with my income. I reached out to Anthem Tax Services and had an enjoyable conversation with Josh. He is the head guy. My questions and concerns were brought up with him and he said he could handle it. He gave me a figure that he thought that I would be able to settle for, which I told him could work. I filled out some forms, sent a check and from there, we endeavored to get my situation resolved. I also dealt with another guy and his assistant, a nice young lady. They’re on top of me to get them information. I’m in the second half of the process and the only thing that is holding us up is the distance between us. I'm in New Jersey and they're in California. But, I have confidence that they are going to do a good job with me.

My husband led us to seek help from Anthem Tax Services although I didn't want to. I wasn't comfortable working with them. I didn't like the way the service turned out and to me, it was not good service. Some of them was hateful. They should also call more and send out more information. Still, it all paid off in the end and I would recommend them.

I have been working with Anthem for six months. My daughter-in-law did everything online and I don't have a specialist since doing your taxes isn't a hard thing to do. You plug everything in and the website sends them to the IRS. The lady from Memphis, Tennessee with the IRS sent me a letter and Anthem wanted a copy of it. So we sent them a copy but I've never heard anything back. Other than that, the folks at Anthem were very good and they have done everything they have told me.

I was going through an offer, a compromise with the IRS. I needed Anthem's help so I contacted them. Enrolling with Anthem went fine. I talked to Josh and while it was a good experience, I haven't heard anything from them for a long time. The last time I had contact with them was 6 months ago. In the beginning, they were good. They were contacting me a lot when I first signed up. But right about when I finished my payments, that's when the communication stopped. They're not answering phones and they're not returning phone calls. Anthem reps need to work on their communication.
