Anthem at first appears to be your knight in shining armor, out to rescue you from IRS problems, then they morph into a more parasitic role, out to destroy you financially. I was placed on a payment plan with the IRS which I couldn't keep up with, and the IRS placed me in "default." Anthem then started hammering me with my "default" status, as if Anthem was another face of the IRS. Anthem wanted over $30,000 to do the same work they'd done for me two years ago for $8,500 which was set me up with an IRS payment plan. I told them "if I had over $30,000 on me, do you think I'd be in default on my IRS payments?" Then, yep you guessed it, Anthem whips out a super high-interest loan they can offer through a vendor, so I can now pay the IRS plus a gigantic monthly fee to cover my Anthem bill. Screw Anthem. I worked out my IRS problem for free.

Unprofessional customer service — hung up on when asking basic questions. I reached out to Anthem Tax Services seeking guidance with my tax situation, but I was met with shockingly rude and unprofessional behavior. While trying to ask straightforward questions about my case and options, the representative abruptly hung up on me.Tax debt is already stressful enough without having to deal with representatives who lack basic courtesy and patience. If a company treats potential clients this dismissively over simple inquiries, I have zero confidence in their ability to handle sensitive financial matters or communicate reliably with the IRS. Save your time and look elsewhere for professional tax help.

If I could give negative stars I would. They did aboslutely nothing - not only did we pay the large fee, they took so long that we incurred another $15000 in interest/fines. What they said would take 6-9 months was well over a year. Their solution was a 5 year pay off plan that we couldn't afford - they said they would talk to the IRS again and call us in two weeks. Never did. We could have swing a 12 months before, before encuring all the new interest and fines. I can't call them predatory as we went to them - once they have your money it seems they sit on their hands and have no sense of urgency to get something worked out. We called the IRS at one point - no had ever called to talk to them about us and our tax debt. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. We had hope in the beginning, we really did. You are better off either finding a different company or selling a kidney. You will be better off with one kidney than working with Anthem. If we could afford an attorney, we would try to get our money back. But we don't. Again, do not use Anthem. Do NOT! I looked it up, Septmeber 2024 is when things started, December 2025 is when things ended with no returned calls. Awesome.

They are all pressure salesmen. They quoted one price then aent a contract $800 more dollars. They try to tell you the irs will put a lein on you in the next few days. They flat out lie to you. Better of going with a tax lawyer or law firm

ANTHEM TAX SERVICES SCAM ARTISTS... BE WARE AND DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THEM. I paid them $15k as full payment. They discovered I owe a bit more to the IRS, so they demanded $26,800 more!!! After I laughed in their face, she said, ok let me apply for a subsidy of 25%. I told her I am not paying more, she said she applied for a 50% subsidy and now wants me to pay $10,800 more. The reason: ... the debt is higher and we have to do more work! I investigated it by reviewing the IRS rules and programs and discovered they do NOT need to do more work (as I suspected), the only difference was they had to apply for a different program, which is not more work... After I refused to pay $10,800, they reduced their demand to $5000. I told them I have to investigate what you are telling me about extra work. AS SOON AS I SAID I AM GOING TO INVESITGATE YOUR RREPRESENTATIONS, THEY CANCELLED THE CONTRAC!!! I guess they knew they were going to be found out and jumped ship. I contacted an attorney who charged me $6000 from start to finish. Yes, I said an ATTORNEY with 30yrs experience was cheaper. THEY ARE SCAMMING PEOPLE, BE WARE.

STAY AWAY — ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE I hired Anthem Tax in 2018 to resolve an IRS balance of $24,000. I was promised the issue would be handled and resolved within six months. Instead, seven years later, my tax debt has ballooned to $65,000, and I now have an IRS lien on my property. Anthem Tax did not resolve anything — they made everything dramatically worse. This company lied, misled, delayed, and neglected my case from start to finish. I was assigned an “attorney” who, as far as I can tell, did not actually exist. Communication was almost nonexistent. When I asked for updates, they would demand yet another document — which I provided within 24 hours — and then completely ignore me for another six months. This cycle repeated for years. For two full years, nothing was done. COVID became their excuse to do absolutely nothing, while interest and penalties continued to pile up. No urgency. No accountability. No results. Clearly, no one cared. In 2022, after I posted publicly about my experience, Anthem Tax responded not by fixing the problem — but by hiring Todd Lewis, CEO of Reputation MD, to try to clean up their image and pressure me into removing my reviews. I cooperated because my only goal was to finally resolve my tax debt. I was told my account was in CNC (Currently Not Collectible). What I was not told was that the IRS was preparing to place a lien on my home. I worked with Todd for a full year. No payment plan was ever established. Nothing was resolved. I was assured everything was “all set,” with the last communication in March 2023. Fast forward to 2024 — I applied to refinance my home and discovered, for the first time, that a federal tax lien had been filed against my property. In short: I trusted Anthem Tax. That trust was a huge mistake. They were incompetent, dishonest, and negligent. They took my money, made big promises, and did nothing while my situation spiraled out of control. I am now forced to hire yet another attorney to undo the damage they caused. At this point, I would have been far better off handling the IRS myself. It should be illegal for a company to take a client’s money, make guarantees, ignore the case for years, and leave the client in a far worse position than when they started. If I could sue them for malpractice, I would. Do not trust Anthem Tax.

This company communicates mostly when they're looking to add on services to get more money out of you. And they're quite aggressive and offensive when doing so. A rep contacted me about an "offer" that wasn't even valid since the statute of limitation had passed. Anthem has literally done nothing except communicate what I owe; I could've done this myself. $3000+ dollars for services that are non existent. No one communicates in a timely fashion if at all and when they do, have no idea about your personal case. This company is completely inadequate and do no care about their customers at all. My bank account was still levied and they weren't even aware. Save your money!

If I could give them 0 stars I would. I contacted Anthem in July 2025 paid to help with my IRS Debt. I paid them $500 upfront. My rep Jack stated that there would not be an issue with my taxes. I heard nothing from them until I called today after receiving notification from the IRS. Jack did not remember me and then asked for another $2900.00 to see if they could check my paystubs and possibly work out a deal. They are a complete sham & I think these reviews are paid employees. IT'S BETTER TO DEAL WITH THE PAIN OF THE IRS WHICH I AM DOING NOW
