Optima Tax Relief is nothing but talk!!! Initially, I was overwhelmed with frequent telephone calls. I made all of my payments under the assumption that they would negotiate with the IRS to settle my tax debt for a reduced amount (as per the many TC advertisements). I have been working with them since October 2025, and today I learned that their only action was to negotiate my monthly payments to the IRS for $600.00 per month. They did nothing to reduce the overall amount owed. All they advise is that "this is the best resolution".
I have not received any documentation from them outlining the amount they were attempting to reduce my tax debt to. I am concerned about the legitimacy of Optima Tax Relief's services. They may assure you that they will do everything possible to resolve the outstanding amount; however, you are often transferred from one representative to another, and little progress is made. I could have arranged a payment plan independently without incurring the extra expenses associated with Optima.
We appreciate your detailed feedback. We understand your frustration and apologize for not meeting your expectations in negotiating your tax liabilities. Your experience does not align with our operational standards, and an Executive Review Board Specialist is assigned to review your case promptly. We encourage you to contact us directly at (800) 965-3192 so we can better address your concerns and work towards an appropriate resolution.

I read about Optima's history and that they were helping people solve their problems. I did a consultation with them and their rep was very nice. She helped me in so many ways. She told me how they solve people's problems, that I shouldn't be worried, and how they'd take care of me. And eventually, I was so happy about what they did for me. I worked with a professional named Jeff and in two to three weeks, he got a response to me. Aside from that, I was comfortable with the price I paid for the service.

Optima Tax Relief’s advertising was a deciding factor for me in choosing them. Supposedly, they filed my income taxes for the last four years, and that went okay. But they came back and by the time it was all done with the IRS, I owed them over $85,000 with the penalties and taxes. They stopped them from sending me harassing letters so that part worked. But my last experience with Optima is the reason I decided to move to a different company. They charge a high fee of $12,000 for the service. I asked for a refund because they didn’t accomplish everything they told me they were going to do. My taxes were supposed to be non-collectible, which was what the IRS said, because my financial situation is dire. Instead, the IRS came back and said they were going to put a lien on my house for five years. They also said that if my situation changes, I would still have to pay my back taxes. They did stop some of the interest and penalties.
I later switched to a different firm, El Dorado Taxes, and they just started working on my case. They’re going to try to stop the attachment to my house and also work on stopping penalties and late fees. There’s also an IRS form related to the COVID years that they can fill out. I tried looking at it, but I can’t do it. If filed correctly, it could lead to penalties and interest being forgiven, which could be a good 40 grand. I asked Optima if they would handle that, but they said it’s not part of their services. I’m dissatisfied with them and people should look somewhere else.

They talk a good game. Ultimately they charged me greater than $800/month for 5 months and did nothing. Expected me to do all the input of paperwork despite being told that they could help me find missing documents. When I asked for a refund they basically pushed it to another department and didn't offer any refund. I definitely would not recommend.

I looked around, did some research, looked at the reviews from the Better Business Bureau and decided to have a conversation with Optima Tax Relief and see what information they could provide. There was no cost to it and there was no pressure. The gentleman laid out to me what the situation was and what they could potentially do for me. They made no promises and I made a decision to give it a try.
They requested some documentation from me, which I provided. They've called me a couple of times to update me on the status of where their process is, what they've done for me so far, and what's been going on. They've reached out to me many more times than I've reached out to them. Their reach outs to me have been through their portal, where they've requested information. When I've supplied that information, they've in turn reached back out to me and told me what the outcome of that information supply has been. They also told me that as we move along through the process, there will be additional costs, and when we reach that point, I have the decision to either stop or go forward.
So far, as we've been to this point in the process, they've delivered on everything that they said they were going to do. We haven't received any resolution yet, but we're still midway through the process. Going up against the IRS is a challenge anyhow. At my age and status in life, I've been a law-abiding, tax-paying citizen and last thing I want to do is piss off the IRS. Having somebody else get in front of that for me and try and handle that for me has been somewhat of a relief for me. They've helped me with the issues that the IRS is trying to shove upon me. They've applied a team approach to that. It's not just me against the IRS now. I feel I have true professional experience support to help me with the IRS.
I've been very happy with Optima and with the communication with them. So far, what I've had to pay for the services I've received has been very fair. I'd be paying money to the IRS anyway and they wouldn't care. In fact, if I croaked, that'd be fine with them. They just seize my property or do whatever they do. But with Optima, I have seen the process and they are doing their best to help me out. It's been money well-spent. Everything's been positive and the people have been great. I would recommend them.
We greatly appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback on your experience with Optima so far. We're glad that you found our communication and services helpful throughout this demanding process. Our aim is to offer the support and relieve some of the pressures of dealing with the IRS, empowering you with peace of mind. We're pleased that you would recommend our services, and we're committed to continuing to meet your expectations. Please reach out if we can assist further!

I received nothing but help from Optima Tax Relief, and I appreciate that. It was a good service. I had a heart attack a while back, and I missed a couple years afterwards and they helped me get caught up. My wife was doing it, but she died in the process. So, it fell on me. I needed help. So, I called out to them. I took it up around March of last year. They were wonderful. When I first called them, I kept getting on to Philippines, and that was frustrating. When I finally got the team that was working on my file, they were top-notch. It was just getting to them was the frustrating part. They knew my wife passed away. They would continue to ask for her on the phone and ask for a permission from her to talk to me, and that was frustrating. I was still in grieving, and it bugged me that I needed to get ahold of them, and I had to go through the Philippines and talk to various people before they finally got me through them.
I did send a couple of emails and got a good response from that. They did a good job, and they're still doing a good job. I'm thankful that they'd be on this side of the whole thing because on the other side, it was frustrating because I didn't know what to do or how to do it. They have a portal that I log into. I go online, log in, and I get documents and updates.

I have been dealing with Optima since the spring of 2019. My tax situation was in collections, and I reached out to them. Someone called me back right away and got me signed in. I signed up and then they sent me the power of attorney and all the paperwork I needed to sign. I got my back taxes filed. They worked out a payment plan for me to pay my taxes for the years that I owed for. A
I recently had to do another resolution plan with Optima back in April. I paid them $2,400 to get that started. Since then, my employment has changed because I was no longer really working as a W-2 employee as of April 2025. I started working as an independent contractor. I submitted my W-2 for my other job and my 1099. Optima needed me to do a profit and loss, which I still need to do. But I thought they were still gonna at least file my 2025 and my 2024 taxes, because the 2024 taxes were still not filed.
I signed up for a monthly protection plan. I've been doing that with Optima ever since 2020 for them to file my taxes for me for free, and for them to represent me as far as with any audits or anything that I have with the IRS. Optima didn't send me anything, like a power of attorney. I don't know if they're handling my tax situation for me. I am continuing to pay the IRS what I'm owing, but it's just a different experience this go-around, even though I paid them $2,400 in April.
I have good communication with the reps, but it's just different this time than when I initially signed on and got with Optima. I'm expecting that they were going to have me turn in all of my tax liability information. I thought they were gonna be handling this for me, and they didn't do that. They didn't do a power of attorney this time, so I feel like I'm on my own. They haven't worked out any kind of payment plan. Initially, if you only have just a couple of years or just some initial back taxes that they need to help you with, Optima is good. But anything after that, they can get a little sloppy.

My wife was very sick. She had a liver transplant and lung cancer, and I hadn't paid my taxes in four years. I saw Optima Tax Relief advertised on TV. and they sounded more interesting than other tax people, so I signed up with them for help. They're all very nice, friendly, and very helpful. The first guy I talked to was named Steve. He was in California and he was explaining that it could take up to six months for the four years of my taxes to get taken care of. I started it in April, so I'm only about two months in.
Initially, I thought once I set up this program, IRS wouldn't be taking some money out of my retirement check, and they did the 1st of June. They took out 200 and some dollars. So far, Optima keeps asking for documents and I fax that to them. Otherwise, I really haven't heard anything and I don't think we're missing each other. I use my daughter's email and she checks it every day, that was why we found out that they needed more tax forms.

I initially did a consultation with Optima Tax Relief. They get your information, what your concerns are, and what you feel like you're facing into. Then they get back and say, “Well, we'll look into it. We'll work out a plan and work out the payment for the plan, and then we'll get on it.” It's a hard thing to give out your information to people. As of right now, I'm paying Optima to perform the tasks that I need to have fixed. I am hopeful that I can be confident that it can be resolved in my favor.
They have requested some more information from me, and it's been about a month since they needed more information. So, I sent it to them, and I haven't heard anything from them since. I know there are so many people reaching out to these kinds of people right now because it's hard out here. Everything's expensive now, and nobody can afford to pay. So, I'm not disgruntled that Optima is not more forthcoming with information. Aside from all that, they're very knowledgeable. Any question that you ask, it takes time, but they do get back to you.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Optima Tax Relief. We value your patience as we address your concerns and appreciate the important information you've provided.

Optima was easy to sign up for and painless to exit the programs. They helped with my back taxes. Jessica helped a lot while I was exiting the programs as well as made the process painless. Signing up was made easy as I used a payment program due to my situation. Overall a good experience.

This review is about Hector ** only. He is a very understanding and personable employee who went out of his way to help me with an issue I've dealt with since December. He is by far THE best agent I have spoken with in a very long time. He stayed on the phone with me while I esigned 4 documents and made sure he received them as well. He answered several questions I've had since April - when I had sent an email asking for help. Your company needs more people like Hector **!

I recently worked with a tax relief preparation company after falling behind on several years of filings, and the experience was far better than I expected. From the first consultation, the staff explained every step clearly, answered my questions patiently, and treated my situation without judgment. They reviewed my financial records carefully, identified deductions I had overlooked, and helped me organize all required documents before speaking with the IRS.
Communication was consistent throughout the process, and I always felt informed about timelines, paperwork, and possible outcomes. Most importantly, they helped reduce a significant amount of penalties and created a manageable payment plan that fit my budget. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine concern for my financial recovery gave me peace of mind during a very stressful time. I would strongly recommend their tax relief preparation services to anyone needing dependable and knowledgeable assistance for resolving difficult tax problems efficiently.
