## Caption

Paid a tax relief company, but can’t get a clear update? Before you switch companies or handle your IRS debt yourself, find out what you hired them to do, what they’ve actually done, and what needs to happen next.

I’m Logan Allec, a CPA and the owner of Choice Tax Relief. In this video, I walk through how I would evaluate the situation:

- Review your contract and compare it with what you were told during the sales process
- Check what work has been completed, including relevant IRS account transcripts
- Address communication problems and ask for regular updates
- Request your full case file, a summary of the work, and the next steps before moving on
- Understand the limits of refunds and chargebacks, and address your IRS power of attorney if you leave
- Decide whether to handle the case yourself or hire another provider
- Check who owns a new company, who will actually work your case, what they will do, and the credibility of its reviews

A slow case does not automatically mean the company has done nothing. Tax returns may need to be prepared and processed by the IRS, and some cases can take months or more than a year. Regular communication still matters, even when the update is that the IRS is still reviewing the case. Be accurate about your own attempts to contact the company.

I discuss reviews and chargebacks as possible escalation options, but a chargeback or refund is not guaranteed. The company may dispute a chargeback, and your contract matters. Your case file may also show work that changes your decision about leaving. The best available tax-debt resolution is not always a settlement.

If you hire another provider, ask for the name of the CPA, enrolled agent, or attorney working your case. That professional may be different from your day-to-day contact. Read reviews critically, including possible fabricated reviews or complaints. If you consider handling the case yourself, think about the time and technical work involved.

Power-of-attorney note: A new Form 2848 generally replaces an earlier recorded authorization for the same matters, subject to the form’s rules and exceptions. It does not revoke Form 8821. See the current IRS instructions: https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i2848

If you owe the IRS or your state at least $10,000 in back taxes, or have multiple years of tax returns you need to file, you qualify for a free consultation with Choice Tax Relief. Call 866-8000-TAX (866-800-0829), or book here: https://choicetaxrelief.com/free-tax-relief-consultation/
