I called Community Tax and they said, "Well, let us look into it and we'll get back to you." I didn't have to pay anything, and when they came back, they said, "Okay. Well, here's what we can do. For $3,500, we can probably make this go away." That was very helpful. It was a bit of relief and they had a good payment plan. Community Tax worked with me. If something happened that I couldn't make it, they would take half of it and move the other half to the end. There are a few things on there that were squirrelly because what I understood to be the plan was, "Okay, well, you pay half of it, a minimum of half of whatever your payment is, or two-thirds." Because one time, I was like, "What? That doesn't make any sense because the first time, it was like two-thirds." Then, "If I had two-thirds, I have the third-third and I wouldn't have to worry about this."
But I understood we would stack that at the end so I would have a couple of more months. So, if I missed two months, it would have been an understanding of, "Well, I would have one more month at the end because two halves are a whole and that would have been fine." "No, it stacked as a balloon payment." So, they worked with me to fix that, but not explaining that, "Okay, this is all going to stack on to your last month. So, it won't be $300. It's gonna be $500 or $800 or whatever it is." I said, "Oh, no, no, no. That's not gonna work."
One thing that was a bother was my agent changed six times. The one guy got promoted, the rest of them I have no idea what happened. But every time I would call, I would end up with somebody different. That was a little frustrating. When I first got started, which was with my first person with them, it was a deal of, "Hey, can you send us all this paperwork?" "Well, I've been gone. I don't have any of this paperwork. However, I signed power of attorney over to you, so you can get the paperwork." So, that was a little annoying. The whole reason why I had them is so they can track this stuff down and take care of it. That's why I was paying the big bucks.
When I was an engineer before, 3,500 bucks would have been, "Okay, hang on. I'll give that to you next week." But being in the situation I was in and even still in because I'm not getting the same type of work I used to, I'm working for 40,000 where I used to work for 120,000. So, that's a significant difference. So, $3,000-some is a big deal. I expected a bit more work out of them initially of, "Hey, we're gonna send you this paper. Sign it so we can get everything we need." "Okay, let me do that." That would have been a lot better.
For the years that I was gone, and the two years that I came back and filed as a non-filer, the IRS sent me a check for 2,500 bucks, which was awesome, and they put it as a past tax refund. I tried to call them and find out where it came from, they said, "It was just your refund." I said, "Okay. I don't know what the refund for, but I'll take it." So, I'm assuming that Community Tax did that and I'm sure the IRS does nothing out of the goodness of their heart because I don't think they have one.
I appreciate what Community Tax did. I've paid the same amount I would have paid back originally, which is acceptable. The only thing that I wish I would have known before I made an arrangement is that my bill would have fallen off anyway because the way the tax law is still written, after 10 years, and if I haven't been able to pay anything on it, it's voided out anyway. So, I could have gotten away with not paying the IRS anything. So, the IRS still didn't get any money, but Community Tax got the same amount that I would have paid the IRS. And it all would have disappeared at the end of the month anyway. But Community Tax filed the paperwork to make sure that was all done right. So, it all in all turned out to be a good thing. They did good for me and they helped.

The experience with Community Tax did not go very well because it seems like every week, I was changing representatives because I couldn't get people to call me back or respond to emails or follow back up on. So, I wasn't very happy about that. I had to call a 1-800 number and go to somebody higher within the company to find out who was gonna call me. Then maybe a week later, they would find out and tell me who would be my new representative. They should be more personal and have people call me back.
I don't have payments right now. I paid all in full at the very beginning and right now, the IRS owes me. But I haven't received the money that I'm supposed to, so it's not resolved. My taxes were amended and it was found that the IRS owes me. So, I was told that in three to six months, the IRS would be paying me. It's been over six months now. With these difficult times, I'm getting very anxious because I need the money and I'm waiting on the IRS. I would like to know if Community Tax is gonna follow up back with the IRS.

I love my experience with Community Tax. 500 something a month is a lot to pay but they cut it down to almost half. My rep, Christine, was very helpful. She went out of her way when this was taken over from Liberty Tax to Community Tax. I didn't have to submit any more of my financial information. Community Tax gathered it from Liberty. Christine was trying to cut me some slack, which I appreciated a lot. She even offered services for me to have my taxes done through Community for next year. Liberty did not offer me that.

The reps at Community Tax were a little rough in the beginning and a little matter of fact because this is new. I didn’t like how it first started but I was being patient. I had a lot of questions and all of them were answered but this was a lot of money. A lot of things were being worked on and I felt like it was taking a long time because of COVID. I always felt like I was bugging them. I didn't like that at first and I brought it to their attention. I had Chris in the beginning and some other person that never responded to me. They never responded when I got transferred to them. I responded three more times and finally, Chloe reached out to me and she was very good. The process took 11 months and we were able to avoid the lien on the house but I didn’t get a discount. I’m doing more of a payment plan. The resolution was not to my liking but it was good enough.

When I talked to the gentleman from Community Tax, it seemed like a really good idea. They wanted to charge me $2,500 for help and I did agree to that. They still hadn't resolved anything, but my situation changed. Then they wanna charge me another $3,000 to do the same job they were already paid to do. I got hurt at work and my income changed. They said that because my situation had changed, it was going to cost $3,000 because they have to file all kinds of different stuff. They were saying that they had done a lot of stuff in the background. I never saw any of it but they had said that they could get me on a payment plan. That was well over what I could even afford.
I deal with them solely through phone calls and email because they're in a state halfway across the country. They don't sit and say, “Well, okay, what can you afford? And we'll see what we can work on.” It's, “This is what your payment’s going to be.” At first, I felt comfortable working with them. I know they have to charge for their services, and I completely understood that. Beyond $2,500, they got me with a finance company. So, I would just pay payments to the finance company for that $2,500. When my situation changed, they assisted by saying, “We can get you into this other program, but it's going to cost $3,000 to do it.” I don't think anyone should have to pay an extra $3,000 just because their situation changed. If you already paid for them to do the work, then shouldn't it just be the work being done? All they had to do was change directions. I'm still paying the loan on the original 2,500. Now, I'm paying Community Tax every month too.

I did a google on tax, then I did the reviews and found that Community Tax had some good reviews. When I had a conversation with them the first time, they were super responsive. They were very goal-oriented in order to take care of their client and the rep, Courtney, did a superb job. They told me that the timeframe would be dependent on the information I gave, then we got down to the nitty-gritty of what the IRS was willing to accept. I had to add a caveat of my living and working situations and as soon as they heard that I would have the inability to repay anyone in the fourth year, they came out with a very positive result. In other words, I didn't have to pay any tax. It was excellent and I was very happy.
Initially, I looked for what they would propose as a potential end result and anytime they needed information, I supplied it. And at times, the results would change. Until at the very end, it came through perfectly. I would also suggest that if an individual is seeking Community Tax, he should first say that he's looking to cut his tax bill to zero. It was my fault for not saying that in the beginning, but they took care of it.

I've been with Community Tax for several years. I dealt with them and they took care of me. However, my situation changed recently, so I had to reach back out to them. I spoke to somebody and they reached back out to me and I was good to go. At first, I was nervous. You know how it is when you work with the big boys. Somebody could tell me something, then the IRS sends a letter and I would think I've been screwed. But everything Community Tax told me so far has been the gospel.
The rep was very cordial, explained everything to me in detail and walked me through the process of what the possibilities are. They also said to not be disappointed but they would push for it, and they did and I got it. Every direction I wanted to turn, it has worked for me. They are resolving my case. They stayed in contact with me communication-wise. They either answered my questions right there or they had someone else call me that had the answer.

I got a call from one of Community Tax's reps and she said that she could help me. She seemed nice and was very knowledgeable. Trying to get everything together took a few months. I didn't realize it would be that long. I figured I had to stop and think, "Wait a minute. This is the IRS we're talking about, so I think it's gonna be a long process." I dealt with the IRS in the past and it was not an easy thing to do, especially if I'm just a citizen trying to try to talk with these people sometimes. I wasn't professional, so I figured it's time to get professionals involved. They could push it. They could do something rather than me.

I called them over the phone and spoke with one of their reps. She explained everything to me and had me send some information for me to get an idea of what it would cost and how long it would take. The cost was steep up there, but that's pretty much what you have to expect. With the pandemic going on, they cleared everything up quicker than I thought it would be cleared up. With the IRS being shut down, not doing anything because the country was shut down, I thought it would be another year. But thank God it didn't take that long.
I also haven't had any issues paying them. I only owe them one or two more payments. They were always responsive. If there was something I didn't understand, they would explain it to me.

Because of my work situation at the time I could not pay what I owed, so I was luckily put on an economic hardship type plan. It worked for me even though I was trying to make more money year after year. The resolution allowed for me to be sheltered with my low income until either I was able to pay what I owed in full or it expired after ten years.
Unfortunately the year before it was set to expire 2019, the year before the pandemic, I made well over six figures in income which caused the IRS to cancel my agreement and I became liable for the entire amount I was in a resolution for- interest had accrued and it was a big amount. Well luckily they worked with me again and got me into another plan that works. They made me feel at ease and help lower my stress levels. Luckily, I only have a few more months of paying a monthly amount as is part of my agreement, before this entire thing in behind me. Also, I am still using them to file my taxes every year and actually have them on a month to month contract. I will continue to use them past this day and am thankful to Luisa ** and everyone else at Community Tax. I recommend them to everyone who tells me they have tax problems they need help with. I am a happy customer.
Thank you so much for your great review! Every taxpayer's circumstances are different and we are happy we could place you in a resolution that fit your current life situation.

At first, one of the people helping me failed to inform me about a couple of things and that set me back a few months in my process. I thought I had already submitted enough information. He told me he needed such and such information to be able to proceed and finalize my case. I also thought I had sent all the info needed, but it turned out that I hadn't. The gentleman reached out to me weeks after, asking for that information, and I wasn't aware that he needed that. He just failed to properly inform me of what I needed. He was waiting, and I didn't know he was waiting, was what prolonged the process.
Then I asked to have someone else help me and that person was great. Sometimes, he would take a couple of days longer than I would have liked to respond, but when he would, he was always very thorough and helpful. If only they could summarize all the points that we talked about and be more thorough as to what was going on, step by step, that would have helped. It is a service and it is something I’m paying for. But I understand too, though, a lot of that’s kind of on me to keep track of.

We were hit with an unfair tax burden and I thought that Community Tax would be able to help us lower it. The enrollment process was easy but it fell into a nine-month delay. There were lots of excuses and we got handed off to about three separate representatives. Then, it seemed like you're not working with the person that's handling your case very much. I wasn’t pleased with it, especially since we effectively paid the money upfront. We just now got it resolved starting back in November. Our first payment is due and it’s coming out this August. The entire process was not handled very well and, in the end, they didn't lower the tax at all. They just acted as the negotiating party to set the terms.
Community Tax should improve on their communication process. I was the one who was reaching out every few months for updates and sometimes, I got decent updates and sometimes not. I would not recommend them to any friends or family. They did not do anything for us and we didn't have any choice but to take the settlement that they have set up for us because it had taken so long.
We appreciate your feedback. Unfortunately we cannot always "lower" debt owed and sometimes it is just a matter of making sure a taxpayer is protected from aggressive actions from the IRS, each taxpayer has a different set of circumstances. However, in your case we were able to lower your debt by over $2,500 with a removal of already assessed penalties. The reduction more that covered the fees you paid to us.
As a negotiating team, we will put our skills up against anyone when it comes to holding the IRS accountable to our clients and negotiating the utmost we can do within the laws. We do apologize for the number of people who you dealt with as we assign a team of people to each case. This should have been made clearer to you. We also, appreciate your comments on contact issues as it is something we will definitely address.

I have been with Community Tax for a long time. I owed probably $50,000 and they did a program with the IRS. I stayed with them because the person I called five years ago or so helped me to stop the levy. The IRS was gonna be taking money out my paycheck. That was the reason why I started researching for somebody to help me. Since I'm in Houston, I wanted to try to get somebody in Houston so I can go up to the office. Community Tax was the one who kept reaching out to me to see how I was doing. When they explained different things to me, they did it on my level. That’s what I really like about them. They told me how much I needed to pay for each service. They would give me something higher but I told them I couldn't pay that. They worked out and I would tell them what I could pay.
Everything that they told me they were gonna do, they did for me. The Community Tax person who's over my case would call me every month to give me an update and I really like that. Any concerns that I would have, I would email them and they would email me back. If I didn't understand the answer, I would call them and someone would get back with me the day or next day. They are very proficient on getting back with me when I need it.

I've been working with Community Tax for quite some time, and they're handling a lot of my tax issues and stuff like that. I've had good communication throughout the whole time. I had a pretty deep tax issue that needed to be dealt with, and part of the problem was myself. During the time that I was dealing with it, I was going through some pretty serious ailments, and I was in and out of the hospital for surgeries and stuff like that. They were having trouble getting paperwork back in on time. So, some of the issues ended up taking a little longer, which ended up kind of costing me a little bit more money because I kind of let things fall through the cracks. Towards the end, I was getting good feedback. They're trying to resolve some issues right now.
The guy that I worked with in the beginning was Bill. He was pretty on top of everything that needed to go down. The thing that wasn't all that great was I had to keep on paying, and I couldn't really afford to keep on paying to the amount of money. I almost ended up paying the company as much as I still owe in taxes. So, I didn't get the resolution I was really looking for in the end. They did communicate back and forth with the people, but in the end, I paid $10,000 to Community Tax, and I still owe like $10,000 to the IRS. Overall, as long as you continue to do your part and stay on top of it, they're very helpful.

When I first heard of Community Tax, people had 10,000 to 30,000 debts, and some of them end up not owing nothing, and then some owe very few. But with mine, I owe more than what actually it was. But I still ended up paying it. People that really need Community Tax will get it and it help them in the long run. They really weave out what took place of them saying, "You owe the government." It'd be a whole lot better, but they take what they get and they run with it. But you still gonna end up paying more than what claim that you owe. I wish when you owe the government and they say that you owe them, you're gonna always be on it most of the time.

Or do I let y'all take care of it or what?" She goes, “I'm sorry. Go ahead and sign this in the back and tell me you agree with the amount you owe. So then I can deal with them.”

I reached out to Community Tax, LLC. from Chicago, Illinois back on November, 11th 2020 in search of Tax Relief Services. I had received a lien or wage garnishment letter, and I knew I did not owe as much as the IRS says I did. I didn’t want to fight the IRS myself, when I could have Tax Practitioners do it for me, right? My case was untraditional as I'm more hands on than most. Community Tax did an investigation into my tax issue as part of their phase 1 program. I have to say that you can't get a CPA to look over your complete tax record for $250.00 as their phase 1 costs. I think more of the money might be made through phase 2 and negotiations with Federal and State agencies. They are creating a new standard for the industry and customer best interests come first.
I stopped before going into Phase 2 for two reasons, I was afraid of being taken advantage of not knowing what I was doing and I believe no client should pay full price for a service until they know what kind of options are available to them and what the expectations of the service are. Let that not be evidence of dissatisfaction: quite contrary… Let me put it into perspective for you here.
My tax bill was $35,000. Healthy, but not massive. I would expect to pay around $4,000 to a CPA or Tax Consultant to help me with my tax problem. The average client, at a tax resolution firm, spends between $3,500.00 - $7,000.00 just to the company handling the tax problem. The more you owe, the more complex your scenario, and the overall time estimated to handle your tax resolution will lean you more towards the top end of that.
I owed $35,000, I had 6 returns to be filed, 1 to be amended, and the TOTAL cost as a percentage of the TOTAL tax bill that Community Tax LLC proposed to charge me WAS ONLY 4% percent of the outstanding debt, including the investigation. You can do the math, but I'll give you a hint, it was going to cost under $1,500.00 in service fees to the company for an investigation, filing the returns, amending the returns and settling my debts for my particular case. Note, your price will be specific to your circumstances, I can't express the importance of that. You can trust this company. I personally did not go into phase 2 because,
A. As I had stated early on, I was more hands on and only interested in the investigation. I would handle the returns myself. No foul. A+.B. An early on miscommunication between myself, the client and the sales rep which was later resolved to my full satisfaction. The Customer Satisfaction Department is. No foul. A+.
C. I thought of a different way to get the tax bill handled. No foul. A+.
My experience with the customer satisfaction department was A+. Definitely reach out to them if you have questions or concerns. Great overall experience. AAA+++.

I had some issues with the IRS which Community Tax helped me with. They helped me get things put together and get caught up and try to move on. They’re very professional. They didn’t just take my money and not answer my calls. They did what they said they would do, and I would recommend them in a heartbeat. If you're in a similar situation, you would get the same set of professionalism that I received.

I owe so much to the IRS. It was going up instead of down. I did call another company and for what they wanted right up front, I could have just given that to the IRS. It was too much and I couldn't afford it. Community Tax was lax and more lenient where I can make payments. They called and kept me updated. I've been up under three of their reps at least and all of them have been very nice and informative to me. A lot of things have to go through the process but it didn’t drag out a whole year. They were reasonable and I'm glad that they did help me. They did the best they could for me. I'm on a payment plan but it wasn't so high where it would take me years to pay it. Also, it was an affordable amount and I should be finished paying them soon.

I called Community Tax and they explained to me the process and how they work. The second call was to ask me about my finances. Signing up was easy. They’re gonna help me to pay not too much. I wanted more flexibility because I pay 1,000 something per month right now which is too much. But they told me that if I want more flexibility, probably I have to pay a little more. I have to wait for what is gonna happen with my case. They told me that it takes four to six months that we’re gonna wait for the response from IRS.

The people from Community Tax were really nice to me and the last lady I spoke to was really helpful. She always kept me up with info. Every time I need her to talk and ask questions, she was there for me. The enrollment process was good. They worked with me on my payment plan and at the beginning, I was told I was gonna be helped with my federal and state process, which at the end, they only helped me with my federal tax and not with the state. So on that, I feel that I was lied about. Because now, in order for me to fix the state tax, I have to go to another process, which from my point of view, I was understood that Community Tax was going to take care of that as well. But I was told that once I'm done paying all my federal dues, I'm gonna get a discount for my California Tax. Everything else was really good. Community Tax helped me a lot to take care of the problem and I will recommend them.

The IRS was gonna garnish my wages and so I was really worried about it. I contacted Community Tax, and they were able to stop that garnishment before it started. The process took about three weeks. So, they're pretty fast. The enrollment process was good. They were very engaging, let me know everything that was going on and kept me updated on everything. They even faxed in what needed to be faxed in on my HR department payroll to stop that garnishment.
The program helped me tremendously because I'm not able to really afford 25 or 30% of my check wage garnished. The agent I dealt with was great. I was impressed with his great customer service. Every letter that was gonna get sent out regarding IRS, every step of the way, he kept me up on. The cost was all right. It was probably expensive at $300 a month for about 10 months. It was worth it, though. Community Tax was very great at what they do. Working with them gave a lot of relief from stress of my wages not being gone.

I was working for a contractor and I didn't really know how the taxes work back then. Then I came up to a lesson after two years and then started working for a company where they started taking my taxes. I haven’t filed my taxes until my third year 'cause they said I could do it two years in a row. Once I finally did it, I found out that I owed more than $10,000 to the IRS. So I had to call Community Tax to fix my problem. They worked with me each month, which was nice. But now that it has been resolved in a way, I still got a letter from the IRS a couple of days ago telling me that I still have to pay them back.

There was also the lawyer, Attorney Juan. The communication between us was really great. When the IRS declined my request, it was the effort of Attorney Juan that paved the way for the approval of my request offer. He did something really great there in trying to present my case. Their people's expertise and their experience helped me get the positive result that I wanted. Attorney Juan and Christopher did really great.

I talked to a Community guy on the phone and he was very detailed on what he was telling me to do. They explained things fairly simply. Community wasn't the cheapest but part of the reason I went with them was because they offered me a payment plan where we can do it over two years and take a payment plan. The other company wanted me to pay $6,000 right upfront. Obviously, I was calling them because I don't have a lot of money. If I did, I would just pay the bill.
My rep was very good in the beginning. But I haven't heard from him in seven months. Also, my problem is that once I started using them, it kinda became more of a, "Now you're taken care of. Don't worry about it," then I got a sheet that said this is what's happening and then I haven't heard anything. I don't know what's going on with it.
Community had good relations and good communication. I'm happy with the way things are turning out. But realistically, I don't know if it's anything I couldn't have done myself now that I see what they are doing. They didn't really negotiate anything. All they did was send the IRS letters saying, "He can't afford this so put it all on hold," which they did. And when the IRS puts it on hold, then I'm still liable for it. It's like a waiting game. I could have done that but Community charged me $7,000 to do that. I think they overcharged me compared to what I was told. But for the most part, I keep paying it and I'm hoping it all goes away.
I'm paying $400 a month. Other than my original sheet that they sent me, I don't really get a lot of updates as to where I stand with the IRS. That'd be nice to know. They could tell me, "This is gonna fall off," or, "This needs to be addressed." I look at it as no news is good news so I don't say anything. But in the back of my mind, I wondering where I am at. The only time I really hear from Community is every once in a while. Someone from there would call me and ask me if they can do my taxes. I'm like I don't need to pay someone to do my taxes anymore. My taxes are pretty much easy forms nowadays. If I don't hear from them in another year or two, it's over. Great.

From Day 1 I should have ran the other way. USE A LOCAL PERSON!! I have 2 people working on my case with neither one understanding what the other person is doing. I've been told multiple times by my case agent "I got you confused with someone else". They told me something in the beginning and then reverse course. All my "case agent" says is "I'm sorry you are experiencing this" and that's all she can say. I've called the Customer service number multiple times to complain for help but they are always "in a meeting" and been promised calls back to which they were never received by me. I have been working with them for 4 months and they have not done 1 single thing for my case but collect their payment monthly! RUN AWAY. Do not walk.

Optima's rep put me on hold and this and that, and it just took too long. It was 30 minutes. And I’ve talked to three different people, and they kept pushing me to somebody else.

When I had questions, Community Tax likes to get several people that would analyze the case. And the one that always contacted me could never fully answer any of my questions. And then, somebody would always have to call me back with the info who immediately answers all the questions that I had. It was weird. I dealt with a person at the bottom of the rung.
They always wanted to make sure, I guess in that line of work, that the client is informed of what was going on. And you feel like you are important. They would have somebody call, like an attorney would have to call me back and be like, “No. This, this, this.” The account manager was probably the one that would call me back and would have all the information. But the person under him that would make all the phone calls to their clients, and just give a quick status report, could never answer any of the questions that I had. That would be the only thing.

Updated on 04/24/2021: Providing an update from last review (July 31st 2020). Still no resolution from Community Tax. Lauren from their Client Success team reached out to discuss my issue August 2020. Only actionable thing that happened was that I received a partial refund from Community Tax for the year that was not filed with the IRS. However, this has created a greater problem. The year that was not originally filed by Community Tax, was filed but in communication with Community Tax. It was stated it could take months for the IRS to receive. Here it is April 2021, per communication from Community Tax the tax return was filed but hasn’t showed in the IRS system.
My case has been turned over to a different Client Success person Tony and the IRS has been sending all types of notices demanding payment. You can never reach the person managing your case at Community Tax. So I leave messages and send emails in hopes you will get a call back. I received a CP504 notice over the weekend. And at this point, I’m not sure what to do. All Community Tax will say is that the return is not showing in their system before any action from them can be done. However, the IRS seems to be moving forward in taking action against me for collection. Again, I’m back at square one and could have saved money handling this on my own. This has been upsetting and has turned into a nightmare that I wish would be over.
Original Review: My experience has not been good. I signed up for service back in January 2020 and as of July 2020, everything has been filed. During this timeframe, it's been difficult to get in touch with someone and get a straight answer. I was given the balance owed for and possible plan. But honestly, this was no different that I could have done myself. I paid $500 deposit plus $4600 to have to 6 years prepared. Then I was told only 5 years would be filed and I would be liable for the tax balance and any additional P&I. What actually did I pay for? I was sold on the fact that negotiation would be done to element any abatement of P&I. So I am back at square one and could saved money to put towards my tax debt.

What can I say? Community Tax delivered the result I had hoped for. They were honest and truly made me feel that I could trust them. That I actually got off the phone and felt certain I was going to settle this burden. Communication is key on both parts. That is where Jasmine comes in. She made me feel that any question I had would be explained and answered. She delivered. My case and me were important to her and that meant a lot to me. Taxes and the IRS are scary. Community Tax I would refer anyone who needed help to Jasmine. I hope you will do the same. Again thank you.

I had Nick ** help me and he was completely unprofessional. Big chip on his shoulder. They lure you with a lot of terminology and confuse you to their convenience. Also tricked me into signing docs to run credit checks (hard inquiries) after making it clear I didn't want to apply for loans. Their customer service dept is also just as bad! I wish I could give zero stars. A lot of stuff they do you can do yourself. It's better to just get a CPA to help you. Please don't do what I did and ignore the bad reviews.

Community Tax was really good. They took a little bit longer than what I thought, but it was complex. It took almost a year but I'm done with the program now. They set me up with a company that I paid to acquire their services and I paid that off and then I got a full tax relief. It was a hardship case. I worked with three different people and all of them were cooperative and courteous.

Original Review: June 29, 2020
Community Tax lied and said that they take on people cases with under $10.000 of debt but they dont. Derrick ** lied and said that he would be handling my case specifically. Next thing you know lm being bounced around to multiple people. Consumer Affairs recommends me to these people and l dont know why. A agent from Consumer Affairs told me to write a review because they never should have never took on my case. Had to file a dispute. This company doesn't help people. All they do is try to take your money and rip you off. People beware. Dissatisfied. Angry Customer.??

I am so grateful for Community Tax. I would always wonder and would be on edge about my check since I had direct deposit that the IRS would take my money and then I would not have any money for my bills. I did nothing for 2 years and always receiving letters. Had no peace of mind. Every years I had no return. But debt did not go down. I called community tax and now If I get a return it goes toward the debt. Very happy with community tax. I don’t worry about my account. Very happy.

I owed taxes for 2017 and 2018, so I was going to pay around over 20 grand in total. I can’t afford paying everything all at once, so my uncle recommended me with Community Tax. He owed over about 60 grand but they helped him out. So he told me about them, and I went to them. I first talked to Nick. From him, I went to Barry, and from Barry I went to Mary Lou. They answered all my questions whenever I needed them. They were very helpful and nice. They did their jobs the way they were supposed to be, even better than what I expected. Unfortunately, they couldn’t help me out with all the things, but I was able to do a payment. Nonetheless, customer service, was amazing. It was the whole nine yards. They did all the work so it was easy on me. Comparing to the customer service, it was pricey but I was able to get some help after all. I highly recommend them to anyone who’s trying to go in with them.

My son in law used the service of Community Tax. When I asked him about it, he immediately said, "Those are the people you want to go to." I was having trouble with my back taxes and so they worked out a deal with the IRS. Laura was a person of contact, and they kept me informed. I was able to reach someone when I called them. If I was not able to reach them, I left a message and they called me back in a timely manner. That was very important. Mine was a difficult case and I had no problem with paying the price. Working with them has taken a lot of pressure off of me. I've continued the service that they have where they do your taxes and continue to monitor because I have the most trust in them. Overall, they would get the job done. They are fair, too. You will be very pleased.

I did research and a little comparison with some other people that were advertising on TV, which was how I knew about them and chose them. But they’re local, too and I live in Chicago so that is good.

Everything with Community Tax is working out fine so far. I heard an advertisement about them, and they were convincing about what they do. So, I decided to give them the opportunity to take care of my problem. I felt good about going with them. The only thing is sometimes, I call one day and then they get back with me the next day.

The initial contact with Community Tax is terrific. The people they have working for them are quick-moving. They respond. You get everything you need. They set up the cost, they tell you how much it is, they get you to sign the documents, and then they move you onto another unit. Right from that get-go there, the payment process to them starts, which through Home Acceptance Corp. The whole process takes about two weeks. And then after that, it just kind of seems to fall apart.
We were dealing with the IRS for my issue, and COVID hit and it disrupted things. But prior to that happening, there was a lot of slow-moving and lack of correspondence with me. And ultimately, when it did wind down to the end, I was not privy to certain information that they were negotiating with the IRS on my behalf. And I’ve ended up now in a situation that I have to pay the IRS a lump sum amount of money for 28 months. And I was unaware of that.
They got me out of a wage garnishment after five garnishments. It took quite a while for that to happen. Some of that does have to do with the IRS not getting the collection department working from home during COVID. But I feel the whole handling of the situation is a mess. I can’t get anybody to call me back. I only received the email yesterday after calling repeatedly this week asking for the information as to what it is I have to do next. I knew I owed the IRS, but I didn’t know how much or when or what they had negotiated for me.

I heard that Community Tax was pretty good. I had a really serious tax problem and they were able to solve it. The agent took care of me so well. He’s really respectful and he went above and beyond the call of duty as far as coming downstairs and picking up my paperwork. He was just really cool. I told them what I could pay and they worked with me. It has impacted my life so much that everybody I run into, I tell them about the Community Tax service. And in our community, there’s a choice of tax repairs and they did a real good job. They didn’t take advantage of me. I'm having them handle my taxes now every quarter. But I’m paying every month because they’re keeping me aware of how to do my paperwork, like keeping up with my receipts and how to be more organized.

Every bit of my experience with Community Tax was good. I was a little disappointed at the very beginning The cost that was quoted on and when I got to the stage where I was talking to my representative that would be handling my case the price was higher than what I was initially told. There were two different people I talked to. The first was the customer support who got me initiated and then post-loan representative.
Everybody was great and I wish I’d been just slightly more excited for my representative in the end. Everything worked out for me. I was able to successfully settle my tax debt. The people locally I looked into didn’t wanna take it because they only took big businesses. There were several times where we communicated through text or email, and my consultant was always quick to follow up with me, and she was always really thorough with her phone calls, pleasant, knowledgeable. However she put up with me dropping the ball on a couple of occasions getting her things. Other than that she was really nice and I appreciated that. She was amazing.
