While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Everything was going well until the…

Everything was going well until the payment request came!I was already thinking that could be a scam , after this I am sure !when someone from their team contacted me they said - “ we get paid if you get paid” , but that not how it works.
They are requesting $1600 to move forward.
Meaning they will only file after I pay !
If I pay and don’t receive the money from the IRS?
Also I have requested something very simple that is a copy of the pdf (DocuSign) that I signed and they don’t provide one !
Everything very sketchy!! Be aware!!
I am very afraid!

Bad Reviews are a great chance to clear misconception! Yes we do have an upfront payment option as well as BACKEND PAYMENT (meaning- we don't get paid til you get paid). We give all of our clients a choice! Sadly since you didn't come through our system and posted this review organically we have no way of reaching you to help with providing you a copy of your software service agreement. PLEASE CALL US at (888) 738-2829 as we can answer any questions you have and provide you with further information.

Don't use!!! Took my info and now no response!!

Easy peasy!!!!!!!! But then they don't get back to you in the 7-10 days they say. It's been 15 and starting to believe I've been scammed. Done some researching and only should do this on government sites. So they took my money. Don't use!!!!!! The number they give is fake, along with the web site.

You have not been scammed! Our team has tried reaching out to you multiple times to help and clear up the reason you are not able to move forward! Due to personal information we can't share that via a review. If you reach out to our team at (888) 738-2829 we can further explain your situation and provide clarity. WE DID NOT TAKE YOUR MONEY. The number is NOT FAKE.. you are welcome to call and speak to our talented team that is based in the United States unlike many others. For anyone reading this review PLEASE REACH OUT TO US at (888) 738-2829 and we will answer any questions you may have. We are here to help people! Reviews like such harm not us but others who are owed this money and now afraid to move forward.
