Community Tax Tax Relief Review

4

Tax Community set themselves aside from other tax relief providers as they offer a full suite of tax services, not just tax relief. The company’s team of experts can help with tax preparation and accounting, tax assurance guidance, and deal with tax debt relief, and IRS resolution. We liked that Tax Community displays the names and credentials of its experts, which often isn’t provided by tax relief companies. While Tax Community requires you to have $10,000 or more tax debt to work with you on a tax resolution basis, it also offers other services that don’t need this level of debt.

Associated Fees

Community Tax does not advertise fees, as every fee is bespoke and based on the customer’s situation. We know fees range from around $300 for simple tax return services to over $5,000 for completed tax resolution. There are no further fees charged. Everything you will pay will be included in the initial flat fee quoted.

Process & Time Frame

The consultation process was quick, and we could speak with an advisor within 24 hours of initiating contact. The following steps are dictated by the type of service you want. Tax debt resolution is a notoriously slow process, and we were advised that the average time frame to complete this process is 7 months. If you are looking for tax return completed or tax assurance services, this will take a lot less time.

If you do require tax resolution services, there is a three-step process involved. The first step is a free consultation where Community Tax learns about your business. Following this, the second step is an investigation which will cost $250-500, where your situation is reviewed in depth. The third stage is a resolution where Community Tax collects evidence and negotiates with the IRS on your behalf. This stage can take months and will cost about $2,500 – $4,500.

Application & Handling Process

All of the services provided by Tax Community are bespoke. Therefore, engaging with Tax Community requires a consultation with a tax expert to assess your individual situation.

We wanted help with tax return preparation and made our way to this section of the website. There is a basic form to complete for a Community Tax team member to get in touch with you.

After providing our details, we were asked a further question to establish what type of tax assistance we required.

We received a call back later that day from Community Tax to arrange an initial consultation meeting that would be free of charge. The tax expert we spoke to in the meeting discussed the tax return process with us, key timelines, and what information they would need. We were told that we would receive a quote after providing this information.

The meeting was quick and efficient, but it was also friendly and didn’t feel rushed. The advisor made us feel welcome and valued, and they were easy to deal with.

Required Information

You will need to provide the following information to engage Community Tax’s services:
