Scam stay away

I first contacted Tax Group Center in the Spring of 2021 after receiving several letters from the IRS owing a total of 12 266 for 2018 and 2019 Tax Group Center told me they could help me get my taxes reduced and taken care of for a fee of a few thousand dollars or even get my taxes reduced There was never any discussions about charging 350 for me to fill out paperwork they sent me 350 an hour to for them to call me on the phone 350 an hour to send me an email or I would have to pay to file taxes that I had already filed I was charged twice 500 for 2022 taxes that I had already done along with 2020 and 2021 taxes that were not even part of either 2018 or 2019 taxes I gave them money on three occasions the first two i had to go through their credit agency for a total of 11 800 at 16 interest for which i thought was to pay the taxes I owed February 2023 I was called on the phone asking for another 11 200 that I had to put on my credit card at 12 9 interest July 19th 2023 I received a phone call from Tax Group Center stating my case was resolved and I owed the IRS 20 000This is when I started to attempt to get answers to why i paid them so much money After repeated emails and phone calls that were never answered on Sept 7th 2023 I finally received a receipt for services that was filled with ridiculous charges and a statement that they owe me 13 430 of money that I over paid them and they will pay me back over a 12 month period at 1 119 16 I find that unacceptable I still have not been answered why I paid so much why it took 2 years to resolve why I wasn t told about the fees upfront Tax Group Center never had my best interest in mind when representing me to the IRS

I Paid 17 000 and Got Nothing Please

I Paid 17 000 and Got Nothing Please Don t Make the Same MistakeIf you re considering Tax Group Center TGC I urge you to pause and read this first Back in 2021 I got a letter from the IRS saying I owed taxes for 2019 It was overwhelming I searched for help online and TGC showed up They called me right away sounded confident and promised they could lower what I owed through negotiation with the IRS That gave me hope so I signed on and paid them 17 000 But here s the truth they did nothing to reduce my tax debt I still owe the same amount today All TGC did was submit a Power of Attorney form file a few years of tax returns and calculate what I owed something any basic tax software could do They promised bookkeeping support and had me send over all my sole proprietor transactions In the end I had to do it all myself using QuickBooks Once they had my money they became nearly impossible to reach No updates No progress If I managed to speak to someone they gave vague excuses like We re working on your case Even worse one of their managers applied for loans in my name without asking me causing hard credit inquiries and lowering my credit score When those loans were denied she hung up and never called back This happened three times I requested a refund for the services they never performed It s been months No response No resolution Not even an apology To this day four years later I ve still never spoken to a licensed attorney despite that being part of what I paid for Please learn from my experience TGC will take your money quickly but deliver nothing in return You re far better off speaking directly with the IRS to set up a payment plan or consulting a local licensed tax professional Don t fall for their pitch the way I did
