Community Tax scores high with us for two significant reasons. First, the company offers extensive tax prep, resolution, and bookkeeping services. It assists taxpayers in their interactions with the IRS. Second, since Community Tax is staffed by dozens of Enrolled Agents, Certified Public Accountants, and attorneys, the company is well-equipped to thoroughly assess each taxpayer's financial situation and to review all IRS transcripts and records for accuracy. This enables the firm to develop the most advantageous tax relief plan possible for its clients. Community Tax also has a great reputation for personalized customer service. Numerous current and former clients remark that the company is attentive to their concerns and patiently explains all options.

This Site is a SCAM! They told me I was being being "followed" by a "Revenue officer" and I needed to pay Community Tax $6,000 for them to intervene. After calling the Department of Revenue myself I was told that all field agents we're not "following" people around due to covid-19. I have also NOT received ANY letters from the Department of Revenue stating that I am being investigated which I was told would be the first course of action.

I had nick Carrera help me and he was completely unprofessional . Big chip on his shoulder . They lure you with a lot of terminology and confuse you to there connivence also tricked me into signing docs to run credit checks (hard inquires) after making it clear I didn’t want to apply for loans . There customer service dept is also just as bad ! I wish I could give zero stars . A lot of stuff they do you can do yourself it’s better to just get a CPA to help you . Please don’t do what I did and ignore the bad reviews
