Reputation Of Your Enrolled Agent, Attorney, Tax Advisor, Or CPA Is Very Important

Do Internet searches under the name of the company you may want to hire, and put the word “scam” “fraud” or “rip-off” after the company name, (YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST DO THIS) or after the name of the actual representative who will be working on your case. Many so called “IRS Problem” solving companies are the subject of lawsuits and large amounts of consumer complaints. If they can’t give you referrals, hang up the phone FAST! Even though this is confidential work, if they can put testimonials on their web site, then those people should be willing to speak well of the company. As a CPA I can ethically give referrals for enrolled agents and tax attorneys, so why can’t they? If you are told that there will not be specific person assigned to your case or a group is assigned, run the other way. This is a way to hide their “lack of responsibility”. A team of $7.00 per hour accounting clerks will not benefit you. Be careful about references. Even bad accountants have a few people who are willing to say good things about them. Discuss exactly what you will be paying for, and what results you can expect with the person who will be actually working on the majority of your case. Do not let a sales “rep” sign you up! This is professional legal representation not auto repair!
