Get the most for your money

I had a hit a rough patch several years ago and was in dire straits with the IRS. Larson helped me navigate my way out and continued with me until I was able to get my tax situation under control. I have been with them for several years. And unlike many others, they are affordable.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Ran into tax troubles many years ago with two struggling businesses. The relentless IRS notices and agents compounded the stress of saving the business and employees.

Engaged Larson 5+ years ago. Stress relief was almost instant along with taking the burden of dealing with IRS directly.

It was a l-o-n-g process. I ended up having three different teams assigned to my case, and all of them worked diligently and kept me updated on where things stood (pro tip: send in any docs they request asap to help them do their job).

End result was that everything finally settled and closed this spring on VERY favorable terms.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Larson Tax Relief Review

Sequence of steps followed by LTR does not favor its clients. The 2 week warranty begins when you sign the agreement. There is great pressure to collect the fee upfront. The initial fee is affordable but not representative of the actual fee since they haven't reviewed your past tax returns and don't know your total financial picture. This activity takes you past the 2 week warranty, effectively making it void. I was told my situation was more complicated than they anticipated and I was told what the IRS would say upon reviewing my information. However, I could find any documentation of them contacting the IRS, beyond sending them the POA. So I don't know if the IRS actually told them anything about my case or if they told me what they expected the IRS would say. Their first task in their agreement was to contact the IRS and discuss my case. I don't know if that was done. When I was asked for $2200 over the initial $2500 fee, I was disappointed at how my case was handled and how they conducted their business and their sequence of tasks. So I ended my contract with them and negotiated a partial refund. Since I didn't know if they actually discussed my case with the IRS, I don't know if they performed their initial tasks. So the refund I received was not a fair representation of what tasks were actually performed. The rep. stated how difficult it is to deal with the IRS and that he could not save money himself on his taxes. Not a very comforting statement from someone hired to save you taxes for a fee.

Dear Albert Joseph,

Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your concerns regarding your recent experience with Larson Financial. We appreciate your feedback as it allows us to address any misunderstandings and improve our communication and service. We would like to take this opportunity to address the specific points you raised and provide clarification.

First, the two-week guarantee is to provide you with ample time to meet and discuss your tax matter with your team at Larson. We understand the importance of establishing a good customer service relationship and ensuring that you the client are comfortable with representation. If, within this period, a client is dissatisfied with either the customer service or the direction we suggest, we will promptly refund all fees paid. Our intention behind this guarantee is to eliminate any concerns when considering Larson, such as doubts about responsiveness, compatibility, or our expertise.

We can assure you we were in contact with the IRS as we discussed. To verify Larson's contact with the IRS and the obligatory compliance check we always do, you can independently confirm this by calling the IRS and verifying that your designated associate (not Larson Financial, Inc.) has Form 2848 on file. Again, form 2848 is specific to an individual CPA, Enrolled Agent, or Attorney, not a company they may work for. These are IRS rules, not a Larson practice.

Regarding our Service Agreement, it is important to note that we do not offer a flat fee. We do our best to understand a client’s situation as early as possible and provide as accurate an estimate as possible. In this process and often after talking to the IRS (or state), the situation is more complicated or dire than the client and we were led to believe. It’s like taking your car to the shop for a flat tire, only to learn you need a wheel bearing too. Sometimes things cost more because there is more to fix. This is out of our control. While the majority of our clients appreciate this necessary practice, we understand that you may not have appreciated it in this particular instance. Perhaps we could have better communicated this possibility earlier in the engagement.

We value your feedback and assure you that we take all concerns seriously. Our primary objective is to provide exceptional communication and service to each and every client, and we apologize if we fell short of your expectations. We would like to discuss your concerns further to understand how we can address them and find a resolution that leaves you satisfied. Please let us know a convenient time and preferred method of communication, and we will promptly reach out to you. - Larson Management

*Original Response Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We look forward to the opportunity to address your concerns and regain your trust. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We take our clients and prospective clients’ comments and concerns very seriously. We have begun to investigate your feedback. You can expect a further reply.

Larsons delivers!

When my wife of almost 50 years passed away, I found myself about to lose our home to the IRS. A friend of ours recommended Larson Tax Relief and they really came through! This was in the height of Covid with many IRS workers "working" from home. Larson's staff kept me up on all correspondence with the Feds and saved me about $70,000! I sleep a whole lot better now!

Peace of mind!

The whole process was painless as they filed the proper paperwork to keep me protected from any liens, wage garnishments, etc. during the time before a resolution can be reached. Now I'm on a monthly payment plan that's affordable.

The good folks at Larson have been real saviors in sorting my complicated IRS issues. Alway professional, and very kind, they serve as my go-between and help to make a plan for past errors and avoid new ones. I’m very grateful to them.

Larson Tax Relief - Use this group over any others!

From beginning awareness of my need to settle some past tax debt obligations, I reached out to a well known competitor, for support. That was a mistake, but it led me to research other options and ultimately led me Larson Tax Relief. What a blessing that turned out to be! My team (Randi and Destiny) were phenomenal and put me at ease immediately! From that point forward, they took over and kept me updated with every step along the way. They were able to negotiate on my behalf, for a reduction in penalties that was significant. Much of their efforts came during the COVID time period when IRS and my State’s Tax Department were getting backlogged and they were able to navigate through all the unexpected twists and turns that resulted, from the usual approach. I ultimately landed on negotiated repayment agreement, with their counsel, advice and support. I can’t thank Larson enough for turning a terrifying circumstance into a manageable, controlled resolution. For anyone debating on options for support to navigate a tax resolution outcome, save yourself some time and go directly to Larson!

Best of the Best!

I've never felt more understanding and compassion from tax professionals. Randi and Destiny were relentless in fighting to get back every penny that was taken from us. They were persistent even with all the obstacles thrown their way. My wife and I are forever grateful and would recommend this duo to anyone who is currently going through headaches with their taxes.

I can’t say enough about Maria at Larson Financial, she’s seriously amazing and a pro at dealing with the IRS. I tried fixing with my tax issue on my own but that was impossible, Maria got my return Amended and protected my assets while I waited for the adjustment.
She and Larson financial will have my business for life.
