Tax Tiger

I am a 72 years oldl Vietnam Vet. I am deaf in my left ear, and limited hearing in my right ear.

zi ssked to use email instead of the telephone, which I was told was okay. However, they tried several to call on the phone. and they sent me an email, but when I responded to the email, they never replied.

The individual on the email was a Mr. David Nicholas.

The false advertising and christian claims ? Really Kathy Really ?

I hired this company to file tax returns that had been previously unfiled. Not only did they prepare returns for the wrong state that I never lived in.

When I attempted to call them and discuss my returns and leave messages I would never get a return call. Instead they would reply in email.

When I attempted to leave a follow-up email requesting a phone call I still got no return call rather another email it said they would attempt to call when they could. Do not hire this company or anything.

April 2016, contacted Tax Tiger in Denver. They demanded $4,000 up front.

Paid them, and waited for any word from Tax Tiger. I believe in giving time, to finish a job, especially concerning IRS.. The next thing I knew, I received a notice of a lien put on my assets in May of 2017. I contacted Patricia Lanning of Tax Tiger Denver and said she would call back.

When she called back, she stated that the male employee she assign my case to, quit and when asked if he had finished my case he supposedly replied yes. That is when she told me that he had supposedly lied, and nothing was done with my case. She then supposedly began my case, and in November 2017 I received a notice that my case for a compromise was refused and that I should pay the IRS $800.00 a month and that would take to up to the year 2025-26, or 7-8 years. Of course I was upset, especially when I had to pay $4,000.00 up front to get absolutely nothing in return.

From that point on I was then told I was very 'rude' to one of the employees (ie Daughter Nancy Lanning) and when I told her I did not receive some papers in my email, she replied that I did not tell the truth. There is absolutely no reason why I would lie, It would only cause harm. Then the employee stated I was rude and she couldn't work with people like me. I used no vulgar or threats in my language.

Yes irate but not vulgar etc. I complained ti the BBB and the BBB replied that everything was my fault and that Tax Tiger did no wrong. I only surmised that Tax Tiger gave false erroneous answers to the BBB. The BBB stated that they spoke to a Tax Tiger rep.

in California, not Denver, I have then realized that I had just lost my $4,000 for absolutely no real reason except dishonesty. I have read countless kudos for Tax

Tiger reviews, and unfortunately I was far from being pleased.

I am still contemplating a lawsuit, but then it would cost additional money to the attorney for their services Just a warning. Believe half what you see and nothing what you hear.

Was considering using Tax Tiger. Called the number provided on the web site at various times over the course of three days. Never once was answered despite multiple rings. Not even an answering machine.

I sense that the website is a national catch-all for clients that are then passed on to franchised agents operating under the Tax Tiger banner.

I did check several websites and what caused me unease was the responses on TrustPilot. It appears that the contributors have all only written a single review on the site. This could be indicative that these reviews are shills.

I guess that there will be no way to tell if Tax Tiger would have been a good resource to employ or not as I can't gamble on them with this less than auspicious start.

Moved on.

Just stay away. Mr Finn is retired IRS.

No one in there is really a tax lawyer. Kathy has a picture on the wall of her dressed like a professional on a Christian TV news program. Do not be fooled. I know you want help.

This is not where you get it. They do not advocate for you, your protection is not there concern. I am not adding details because Kenny Finn is directly associated with the IRS and as we all know they target people, I am fearful of losing what little is left of my life. I do believe that is conflict of interest when the person you hire to represent you is getting their pension from the very organization you need protection from in the first place.

I work 2 jobs and 3 if you want to count motherhood. I recently needed stitches and can't afford the copay it would take to get them. Yes I just let my head bleed for 2 days. 2 week later I am feeling better.

I am only a little dizzy and nauseous all day.

I would say more but that would id me and I am really afraid of IRS and all who earn their lazy fat lives on tax payers backs. Good Luck everybody else!

I used Tax Tiger to help with an tax issue. I have to say if you truly want tax help.

DO NOT USE TAX TIGER. They are the worst help you can get. Your better off negotiating with the IRS on your own them using TAX TIGER. They are only interested in taking your money then actually helping you.

So if your interested in giving away your hard earned money then use TAX TIGER. If your interested in getting your tax issues taken care of then use someone else.

A few years back I was unfortunate enough to contact this very unscrupulous company for help with resolving back taxes. It was a horrible experience. They prey on desperate people, make threats about lawsuits, and do not produce results. Do NOT fall for their scam! In fact, do not fall for any companies of this type.

Tax resolution firms are a misnomer. They exact high fees from unassuming consumers and seldom resolve anything. These firms are a relatively recent development, and they are becoming a serious problem for consumers in our country.

ALL THEY DO IS TO PROMISE AN OFFER AND COMPROMISE TO MOST OF THEIR CLIENTS WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THE CHANCES TO SUCCEED ARE LESS THAN 5% ! IN MY CASE, THEY CHARGED ME NEARLY 10 K TO FINALLY TELL ME ONE DAY " SORRY, WE ARE CLOSING OUR FILES AS THE IRS TURNED DOWN THE OFFER !" THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER TOOK THE CASE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

THE SIGNED AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND TAX TIGER

THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID IN TOTAL TO TAX TIGER

THE FINAL CORRESPONDENCE THAT TAX TIGER OR FIVE STONE SENT YOU, STATING THAT THEY COULD NO LONGER HANDLE THE CASE.

I am writing this to warn all potential clients (victims) of this so called A+ Christian Founding Tax Company. What a load of *** they pitched me. To Tell you just a bit about me and what happened. I was audited by the IRS for 3 years and they came to the conclusion that I owed $31000. For me I was sick to my stomach and wondering what to do, because I did not have the kind of money to pay them back. Long story short, a sought out legal advice and did my research. Unfortunately, not good enough research. I ended up falling in to the slick hands of a company called TAX TIGER. They pitched my beautifully and made the IRS look like big, bad bullies that I need protection from and that Tax Tiger, a Christian backed and founded company was the right ones to stand up to the IRS. I eventually felt desperate and decided to agree to a paymet plan which would initially total $2800 for them to represent me in hopefully reducing the amount and taking care of everything. After a bunch of work I had to do, to present to this company I started to get the feeling that I was getting the run around. I couldnt put my finger on it, but it didn't seem right. After several weeks, i then got the phone call from a top attourney for their firm (probably B.S.), that told me that I would be a prime candidate for an Offer and Compromise and that he would probably get the debt I owe to IRS reduced to $7500 from $30000. I was overwhelmed with joy. He said , it would take a lot of paper work more to do this procedure and Tax Tiger would need more $$. i ended up agreeing to an additional $1850 even though that was alot, he said it was better than owing over $30000 to IRS. I asked him repeatedly what are the chances of this being reduced to that amount and he said, about 98% good chance. Sweet, lets do it. With in a few weeks I hear from IRS, that this was denied. LOL Figures, I should of know when they started of theirs sales pitch with, "we are a Christian founded company". Just for the record I am a Christian and this touched me, but should of know better when a law firm dealing with taxes uses this to win me over.

Any how, a very long story short, after asking for my money back and saying this is bs i gave up on them. I called the IRS myself and they said to me, "all of those supposedly legit tax lawyers out their bad mouth us and make us look evil, most of them have the most complaints and are getting turned over to the attorney general and BBB. I ended up dealing with the IRS, I redid another OFFER and Compromise with the IRS, they walked me threw the paperwork, told me how to do it all. IT was so easy! It literally took me about 1 hour to finish it and the I sent it in. And by the way, it cost me $1.35 for postage hahah. Guess what, final result, the IRS settled for a total of $1500 and giving me several months to pay it back.

So just as a big warning to all, dont fall in my shoes. Just call the IRS unless you know without a shadow of a doubt who the company really is that you are dealing with.

By the way, They list on the BBB they are A+, however it is for their subsidary companies in California, NOT Austin, Texas. They are Scammers , trust me when I tell you this! I left out alot of the other shady things they said to me and did, so I could keep this semi short

Take care!!!
