How to Hire a Tax Resolution Expert You Can Trust

With a rise in the number of taxing scams and phishing schemes, it can make many people leery when trusting their private information to a tax resolution expert. The good news is that many times these companies offer telltale signs that they are up to no good. Here are three ways that you can find a tax resolution expert you know you can trust.
First, the tax resolution expert will not pressure you to pay for their services before they have completed any work. A scammer will often ask you to pay for the work before the work is completed so they can leave with your money and information.
Second, transparency is very important for a tax resolution company. They should be eager to provide you with information about the owners, practices, and contact information.
Third, the tax resolution company should never pressure you to accept their services. If they are a reputable company, they will respect you enough to allow you to pass if their services won’t work for you.
Fourth, a tax resolution company will not be able to guarantee specific results. There are some tax resolution companies that promise to give you specific breaks in your taxes without even looking at your records, or talking to you. This company is simply trying to draw you in by telling you what you want to hear. A reputable tax resolution company will take the time to completely understand your financial situation so they can meet your specific needs. There is no tax solution that works for everyone.
Finally, if you conduct your own research on the company, you can save yourself a lot of heartache as well. It is a good rule of thumb to choose a company that has been in business for at least five years. You want to make sure the company will be in business long after tax season.
