Alleviate TaxReviews of alleviatetax.com

Adam Guerrero was very helpful to answer questions, ask me prominent questions, and alleviate my concerns on how to move forward to resolve my tax issue. He put me at ease, was empathetic, and walked me through the process. I am very grateful for his understanding of my situation and assisting me in the process of resolution.

They claim to be tax experts and professionals, and claim if you try to negotiate with the IRS without their representation you’re fighting a losing battle. They claim they can help you save thousands, and will use scare tactics such as the IRS freezing your accounts, sending officers after you, etc. After almost an entire year and $11k in fees, they did what my CPA could’ve done for $500. Do yourself a huge favor and avoid them like the plague. Update: Alleviate Tax wanted an additional $8000 to “help” me with my 2024 taxes. Please, do not give them a single penny. What they do for you is something you can easily do with any cpa for a fraction of the cost. I wish I could give them less than a 1 start review. They deserve to be out of business. They prey on people’s lack of knowledge and scare them into thinking the IRS will ruin them if you don’t hire them right away.

This call came in as a scam call but for some reason I answered it in which I usually don’t answer scam calls. Trust me I’m glad that I did. I was in the process of undergoing a serious tax situation with the IRS who had hinted on several threats of this and that to me. The Gentleman I first spoke to name was Spencer if I recall, he listened to me and then set me up to speak with Johnny Herrera, who is also employed with Alleviate Tax, to be honest I forgot Johnny’s title but he was very compassionate genuinely listened to my problem and assured me I had the right company and team to help me. In let me tell you so far he has lived up to my expectations over and beyond, in fact everyone at the company has. The IRS was hounding me saying I owed them back taxes & penalties for 2022 & 2023. The process isn’t quick nor ez nor magic but this company and everyone I spoke to is beyond knowledgeable in this field and they have managed to get the so called $20K the IRS is saying I owe down to under $700.00. This has been a huge burden lifted off my shoulders and has truly placed my mind as well as my heart at great ease. Mr. Johnny Herrera is very passionate about what he does and if you get the honor of speaking with him you will agree and also witness his thoughtfulness over all care and true genuine traits he possesses. With that being said if you have any tax/irs issues Alleviate Tax is your go to. In I recommend trying to speak to Johnny, Spencer or Grace. Although im sure everyone at this company gives there all and then some! Its very pleasing and assuring to find a company as well as people either such high standards these days! I have even referred a few more friends & family members to them and they thank me all the time and has been truly pleased!

This company is a scam. From the beginning until I finally bailed after paying them $6,500.00. They did nothing. I would work with one person for a couple of months. That person needed information. I would provide it. Then, I was passed to the next individual who wanted to start at the beginning, gathering information. After I was passed to the 4th person I had enough. Do not waste your time or your money.

I cannot express how disappointed I am with this tax service. I trusted them to handle my taxes, but they completely dropped the ball. The entire process dragged on for over a month, and I was stuck in the "tax preparer" phase the whole time without any real updates or progress. It felt like they were just stalling. When I finally realized this was going nowhere, I requested a refund for the services they failed to deliver. To my shock and frustration, they refused to issue any refund — even though I paid over $6,000! It's absolutely ridiculous that a company would take your money, provide zero service, and then not stand behind their promises. The lack of communication, professionalism, and basic customer service is appalling. I would strongly advise anyone to stay far away from this service. Save yourself the headache, time, and money!

Anthony did a great job explaining to me what documentation was needed to help their professionals work on my case.

Terrible company, not so much for what they claim they can do but for steering customers into sketchy situations. When a company like Alleviate prey on customers to open new credit lines to pay them 13K (in my scenario) and steer you and your CPA into filing questionable documents... you need to question its real intent and ethics. File a complaint with your state Attorney General, Division of Consumer Affairs.

They are so deceitful. If you are questioning me and the other people who wrote poor reviews, I ask you to look closely. Most of the people who are angry and have negative reviews have spent a year or more with them. The glowing reviews are people who have just signed up in the last couple months. We have perspective and experience with this company. I hope you’ll make a different choice than I did
