Happy Tax Client letter
October 11, 2011
I am writing this letter to express my sincere gratitude to both Sound Tax Consulting (IRS/State TRA)for their help. Because of their expertise, we saved over $23,000!
In February, we had our taxes done by the same local tax service we had counted on for years. Except this time, they said we owed over $26,000 in State and Federal taxes! We were devastated and could not understand how this could happen. After I was able to collect myself a little bit, I did some research and found IRS Tax Relief. I called their 800 number and Jeff answered. We talked for over 1/2 hour, he was very professional…and patient! I was impressed from the start. We sent our information from 2009 and 2010 as requested. They started contacting me with questions right away. They are so very thorough!
After a few weeks and many conversations/emails, Jeff called and we were informed that we had to pay back $3800 State and Federal from 2009. For 2010 we were getting a refund of $4000 from Federal and had to pay $800 to State. We also had approximately $1800 in penalties and interest due to the error in 2009 and delay for 2010. So we went from $26,000 (plus penalties and interest) to approximately $2800!
First there was an $8,000 correction as a result of Ali instituting appropriate accounting practices for a construction company (which we incorrectly counted on our original book keeper to know how to do this) The remaining difference was the result of an error on our 2009 tax return. Our small business had $47,000 in business expenses and our previous tax preparer accidentally reported it as $17,000. That little documentation error made a HUGE impact on our taxes!!!
It is hard to describe the immense relief we felt when they called with the news. We were ecstatic to say the least! I must have thanked them two dozen times over the phone and via email and that still doesn’t feel like enough!
Needless to say, Jeff and Ali will be handling our taxes from now on! As far as we are concerned the are the best in the business and we highly recommend them.
Sincerely,
K. in Michigan
