If you're talking about the ones that advertise "pennies on the dollar" settlements with the IRS, I'd give them a very wide berth.
Any competent CPA in tax practice can work an Offer in Compromise for you and can advise you of the requirements and whether or not you might have a case with the IRS. His or her fee will be based solely on the time they spend on your case -- and will probably be a lot less than the "tax resolution services" are likely to charge.
BTW, any fee based on a percentage of the proposed relief is illegal. And anyone who claims that they can guarantee a settlement is lying, straight up.

My brother observed those adult males on television and crammed out touch variety on their internet website. He suggested they have been great and he replace into merely charged a flat cost and basicaly he knew precisely what the mounted fee replace into after his preliminary consultation. i do no longer think of all companies are like this, as he appeared right into a number of them (different agencies does no longer tell him the linked fee up front). we are all so happy with the effect.. he's not under pressure anymore and alter into even in a position to maintain lots of money. his case replace into dealt with with the help of the CPAs and enrolled brokers in the business enterprise that do lots of IRS settlements etc. yet what he suggested replace into rather fantastic replace into with the flexibility to speak to the owner of the business enterprise, who's an authorized tax selection professional.

do a google search for Roni Deutsch, or JK Harris, and you will see scores of people claiming to have been ripped off by them and other tax resolution firms.
Best suggestion, contact the consumer affairs division of your state attorney general, and see if they have any complaints on the person you are looking at.

I agree with Bostonianinmo.
I believe these servies are touting the provision to write down tax debts which is available only once in your tax-paying life. Anyone who chooses that route had better make sure it is worth it.
