Consumer Protection Information

We encourage all consumers to protect themselves when seeking tax relief services:

• Always verify a professional's credentials independently before entering any agreement
• Be wary of any firm that guarantees specific results before reviewing your tax records
• Understand all fees before signing a service agreement and get them in writing
• The IRS never initiates contact via email, text, or social media — be cautious of scams
• You may file a complaint with the FTC, your state Attorney General, or the IRS if you believe you have been a victim of a tax relief scam
