If I could give a zero... We have had a case with them for almost two years trying to make a deal on my husband's old tax debt from before we were married. They did such a horrible job - I have no words to explain how inept each person I have talked to has been, how little they actually care about their customers, that now we own significantly more, they have dragged me into it, and they continue to have a hands-off "it's not our fault" attitude. STAY AWAY. STAY AWAY. STAY AWAY. It's more worth your money to pay an online course and figure out how to do all of this stuff on your own.

I can absolutely state that Community Tax staff, from beginning to end, acted very professionally. They communicated well and kept up with me in regards to help catch up with quite a few tax years. Illness prevented me to catch up on my own with the IRS so I found Community Tax after a short search and their sales team explained the steps and cost and made the process seem very seamless. Finally after my case was submitted and then approved by the IRS makes me feel like the world problems has been lifted of my shoulders. I would like to Thank Ale ** and Yarivette ** for their wonderful assistance in getting me through this. Peace!

Absolute fraud. I owed the IRS $30,000+ and they told me that if I paid the $5,000 that I would not get my wages garnished and I'd stop receiving mail. They told me that the interest would not be accrued but that my future tax returns would be reevaluated to see if I was fit to pay the money back. THEY DID NOT PROVIDE! The only thing to stop the interest from accruing is to set up a payment plan with the IRS! One year later and another $2,000 in interest, here we are. They use people from out of the country with thick accents that don't explain anything properly and point to the LONG contract, when what they said goes against WHAT THEY ACTUALLY DID!

I hired them to help with my tax issues. Paid upfront in full. I was told I had to get them information from the IRS and I did. Then they kept saying they never received it and I kept sending them the same past tax information. They said I was in non collectable status and they were done with everything. Today I get a call from Terry ** for an appointment. She asked my name and I confirmed that it was me. Then she said what is my middle name so I gave it to her. She said, "Did you make this appointment for today?" I said, "No." She then says, "Oh hold on. We have another person that has the same name."
I said, "Well they don't have the same number so why do you have my number for me on their file." She said looks like my information is on the other person's file. I get another call back and the broken English speaking condescending girl tells me my taxes were never done and I told them I was going to take care of it myself. All of this is made up. They're a complete scam and now I have paid and don't have any information on what they did for me which appears to be nothing.

I have been working with them for a few years and they only made it worse. Slow follow up, asking for items the Revenue Officer didn’t even need. Even had an installment agreement and it was not processed. At one point was told they can only respond to an email or call once per 24 hrs. Waste of money.

Community Tax filed my report without getting necessary information from me. I told them I was married and yet they still prepared my reports as single. I was told I would receive advice on future taxes and why to improve my situation and what I get is a person calling me and saying they do not know why they had to call me.
Some of the personnel are very, very hard to get along with and make uncalled for remarks. They say they work with the IRS but all I am told is I owe a certain about and must pay that amount. On a fixed income and retired at this time I cannot afford the payments mentioned. I am not saying I cannot make payments but not at the expense of medical and food. Their main concern is getting their money. I have paid over $5000 to them and recently have experienced a difficult situation and when my money is denied by the bank they charge a $35 fee. So rather than concentrate on my IRS problem, they are concentrating on the additional $35 fees I have not paid for. None of the promises made to me when I first entered this with them has been honored, They want money but show no results. Think twice about using this company.

We engaged Community Tax and were thrilled all the way through with their level of service, knowledge, guidance, and timing. They were nothing but fantastic. There was so much value in what they did, and the cost was fine. It reduced the stress that we were under in dealing with being in arrears. It impacted our lives very favorably because the settlement was favorable.

The folks at Community Tax....a LIFE SAVER. When I tell you the IRS was on me, it all started with the letters. They began to come more frequent so I started looking for help. Shout out to Liberty Tax. They connected me to Community Tax. I spoke with David, I gave him my entire run down. Then he connects me to Brian, it was the 1st week I believe, that he got me squared away. He set me up with a payment plan (that I can afford). You guys I thought I owed the IRS a TON of money, I was wrong. It turned out to be half of what I thought I owed. Call Community Tax ASAP. They will help you, and answer ALL your questions. Believe me I was texting them and everything, yep they will call you back. Thank you David and Brian. I know it took me forever to write this review. #CommunityTax

The rep I work with knows how to expedite my account appropriately. Also, he makes me feel assured and very comfortable. But there were reps I had to go through who weren't returning my messages and calls and I found that to be very uncomfortable.

The reps worked with me consistently. They were there explaining everything, and the communication was good. I just wish they could have gotten my taxes reduced more than what it was. But apparently, that wasn't possible. I've been having a rough time, so I couldn't pay my taxes and I needed Community Tax to help me. Their cost is a bit high, but that’s just because on my end right now, my income status changed. In a better situation, it might have worked out better, but Community Tax did what they could do. The IRS is not garnishing anything.

I thought I finally found a company that could help me with my tax returns for years to come. Boy was I wrong. Last year I asked Community Tax to help me prepare my returns and was under the impression they would help with tax returns for years to come. Last year's tax return we had to file an extension. This process is usually done electronically but they actually mailed it in, The issue is they filed an extension for the wrong EIN number which resulted in fines from the IRS. The corporate return took so long to prepare I had another company step in and complete the individual return so I could be assured it would get filed.
Be careful if they ask for money upfront as they did with me for the return completion. Though I paid for the personal tax return to be prepared by them, I am having a hard time getting a refund for the return because they never completed it. I have been speaking with someone who states they are a lawyer from Community Tax. I told the guy I would like him to send details in correspondence in an email and instead he keeps wanted to simply talk over the phone. Won't even text the information I have requested on how to resolve what I believe is there issue on the corporate return extension and to pay the 1265 for fines from IRS and return the 250 for the personal tax return they collected but never completed the return.
I see all these great reviews and wonder why I am being treated the way I am with Community Tax. I simply wanted to resolve these issues with the tax return and even was willing to give them another chance for the upcoming returns. But they don't seem to be interested in demonstrating respect for me as their customer and even communicate with me regarding these concerns I have on what are serious mistakes made with my return. Mistakes happen but it really shows the character of a company when they won't help a person resolve mistake they have made.
We are looking into the issues you raised and will be contacting you to discuss them.

I had several years of tax buildup because of an attack. It was a fraud. I had somebody file under my social. So, that really scared me from filing for several years. I had five years of taxes that I owed, and I didn't have a large amount of taxes owed. A lot of places won't deal with you unless you have over 10,000. After looking into it, it looked like Community Tax didn't really mind that. They never made me feel insignificant. They took care of everything. They passed me from person to person through the company through the different stages. I never felt like I was left in the dark. I was really blessed to find them. They did an amazing job.
Their reps were very thorough in explaining the process. I went from the first person, and then they sent me to the IRS person. She was really great. Then they sent me to my caseworker person, and she was really great, too. I stayed with her through the remainder of the process. Any questions I had, I asked her. Once everything got filed, I got on a hardship. She called me and explained to me that the taxes are still there. I was able to just put them on hold for now. I just started a business. So, that really helped me out.
I was happy with Community Tax. I was not somebody that needed to call and check-in. I didn't need a call every six days. They might not have called me for three weeks, but I knew they were working on it. When they called, it was to tell me something was moving forward. The interaction was minimal, and that was great for me. I'm a pretty busy guy. They didn't bother me unless they needed something. They didn't try to sell me anything or upsell or anything. It was pretty awesome.

I was calling the IRS and asking them what were some of the first steps that I needed to do to get back on track other than outright paying the money itself. Community Tax's number was passed on to me and that was when I set up with them to correct my wrongs and to relieve me of my debt situation. My experience with them has been good. I make my payment and I actually signed up for additional service with them. The first service that I got going with them was to repair my taxes to get me debt-free. The second service that was referred to me by them is a monitoring service. They're gonna file my taxes for me and make sure it's done right. In the past, it was done wrong and that was why I came up owing the IRS.
By 2023, I'll be debt-free so I'm extremely happy about that. My credit score is good and I'm trying to keep it that way. Once I got my credit score up, my next step was to become debt-free with my taxes. From time to time when they haven't heard from me, they would reach out to let me know that they're still there. And if there's anything that I need to ask them, to feel free to call. I really appreciate that point from them.

Community Tax had a really good salesperson, and I absolutely felt I was in good hands. However, I was working with them directly for almost a year, and the communication was not there, which caused some frustration. They set me up with a loan so we could go ahead and set that up. For the job they did, it was absolutely worth the money. For what the resolution ended up being, 100%, dollar for dollar, worth it, but for the lack of communication, not so much.
I completed the program through them. They did exactly what they were supposed to do, and it was absolutely awesome. I felt communicated and taken care of, but that happened so late in the cycle that I can't give them a 5. At the end of the day though, they got me what I needed. I was planning on calling them back to do my taxes this year, but it's been a little late.

I was on a mission to get all my tax paperwork caught up so I searched Google and Community Tax came up. I chose them and they helped me out a lot. their rep kept in contact with me. She answered any questions I had promptly and she was very attentive to what I was asking for. They were very clear about how much they were needing and how much it would cost for me to move forward.
There were some things that I did in the beginning that Community Tax should have caught ahead of time. But they were very responsive. It was more so like finding things that came up later on.

My experience with Community Tax was exhausting. It was a two-year process, during which I was still incurring interest and penalties. For every bit of 10 months to a year, all of my calls were based on the IRS is still backed up and they haven't gotten to me to some degree. My tax bill was $46,000. What the IRS did was they filed my tax and my wife's tax separately when we've always filed jointly. There was a discrepancy.
Sometime last year, I got a letter about my wife's portion of the tax bill. These were prior tax bills that didn't include some kind of mistakes. Her tax burden was 9,000 something dollars. I paid that nine and that left me with 30 something. In that timeframe, they were figuring it out. Instead of my final tax bill being 30 something thousand dollars, it ended up being 19,000. A lot of that is also interest and penalties because they don't stop the clock for you. I can't put that on Community Tax because if they've submitted something to the IRS.
I wish that the process was more expedient but the IRS was having issues and still have somewhat, so I dealt with it. But I didn't think that it would take that long. It probably wouldn't have been that long under normal circumstances. Also, the communication aspect of the whole thing could have been better because there were months that I didn't hear from anybody. I expressed that in an email. I was told that the person that was handling my case didn't work there any longer and she didn't keep up with her clients. I got that for about six months then I got a different person. They were a little better. I just got to the place where I said, “When it worked itself out, I guess that it worked itself out.”
