…your firm gave me hope, peace of mind, and a real second chance to get on with my life.

I’m extremely happy with your firm’s understanding, compassion, professionalism, and most of all the results! The IRS made a first Offer in Compromise which was not going to work for me. Your firm told me not to worry because you would re-submit to a higher level at the IRS. You then were successful at getting me a fantastic compromise. I’ve been sick with this IRS problem – really sick. . .and your firm gave me hope, peace of mind, and a real second chance to get on with my life. Thank you!

I’d like to tell you what an outstanding service I’ve received from your firm

I’d like to tell you what outstanding service I have received from your firm. National Tax Aid handled my case in a very professional manner and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the concern and care of my case. Your knowledge of the process and being able to communicate it to me in a manner which was factual, as well as helping in making decisions throughout the process was superior.

The burden has been lifted from my life

I was very happy when National Tax Aid helped me get a second chance to file with the IRS.

When I received my final paperwork from the IRS, I was happy to get closure on this matter. This will make all financial aspects of my life easier and freer. The burden has been lifted from my life. I can get married and move forward.

I own a business and fell behind on my payroll taxes. We were going through some pretty hard times. When I first consulted National Tax Aid they explained to me that they believed I had a good abatement of penalty case. National Tax Aid helped me with a considerable amount of penalties and interest being abated off of my tax liability and then negotiated a pretty good payment plan, one that I could afford to pay and stay in business.
