Tax resolution expert Barry Fowler recently shared the two most important things to consider when looking for the right tax relief firm.

Houston, TX – January 28, 2013 – Are you one of the many Americans seeking tax relief or help dealing with the IRS? If so, you have probably searched online for tax relief firms and found yourself looking at page after page of firms offering their assistance. But Barry Fowler, EA, a leading expert in tax resolution issues and the Founder and Director of Taxation Solutions, Inc. says beware – not all firms are the same.

Mr. Fowler said, “Many different companies in many different industries offer services that seem the same.  Take fast food restaurants as an example. Have you ever noticed that when you go to a national burger chain one day, and then a neighborhood restaurant that is a local favorite the next, and order the same thing (Let’s say a burger and fries) you can always tell a difference? It’s the same basic ingredients in the food….but there is a difference. It could be the taste, the price, the atmosphere, but there is a difference.”

To help you wade through these somewhat-confusing waters, Mr. Fowler recently discussed the two important things to consider when searching for a tax relief firm:

• Skill

Does the firm have actively licensed Enrolled Agents and tax attorneys? When you are looking for a tax relief firm, they should have both of these on staff. You can call and ask about the experience they have in representing clients with tax relief needs.

• Reputation

When you Google the firm’s name, are you finding complaints or negative reviews? One good measure is to look at the firm’s Better Business Bureau (BBB) rating. If the firm has been in existence for a year, then their rating is a good indicator of their reputation.

“All would agree that taxpayers need to have qualified and experienced representation when it comes to tax resolution,” remarked Barry Fowler. “Doing your research first on a firm before hiring them to represent you is a great way to avoid buyer remorse!”
