Blue Tax, Inc. Unreliable, gives false information, does not finish the job they promised to do Los Angeles, California
Blue Tax took my case more than 2 years ago in 2009. I lost count of how many different "account managers' were assigned to my case over this period and each one told me something different or they had to check with someone "higher" up to get my questions and concerns answered. Each time, I was told something completely different. Today, July 19, 2012 I FINALLY got a phone call from someone in the compliance department stating that they were now ready to take my case to the IRS to determine a final resolution to my tax issues, i.e. payment schedule, offer in compromise (OIC) or currently not collectible (CNC) but NOT unitl I sent them more money. When I hired this company in 2009, I was charged a fee for ALL of my tax issues to be resolved which included past tax returns all the way to the final conclusion. I was NEVER told nor did I sign any agreement stating I would be asked to pay additional fees once my case went to compliance. Blue Tax has refused to finalize my tax issues with the IRS because they undercharged me in the first place... which was not my responsibility. It was theirs and now they are not finishing the job they promised to do. I am filing complaints with the BBB and having them investigated for fraud.
People, you can deal directly with the IRS yourselves free of charge. They will work with you as long as you are not evading them. You can set up your own payment arrangemnts, file your own OIC or CNC without paying anyone a dime to do it. If you have questions on how to do this or where to get the forms, call your local IRS office and they will help you. You can download the forms and the instructions online at www.irs.gov .
As long as you file your taxes, you will not go to jail. As long as you stay in contact with them, they will not harass you, freeze your bank accounts, garnish your wages or take your property BUT you must contact the IRS and cooperate. I had a huge tax problem and was afraid to go directly to the IRS myself. All Blue Tax did for me was file my past tax returns... nothing else... and I could have done that much by myself without their help. I was also paying them to resolve the issue of my tax liability on my behalf which they have now refused to do. If I had gone to the IRS myself in the first place, I wouldn't have wasted the last 2 1/2 years as well as the fee I paid.
I have referred friends and business associates to this company, as well, and not only was I told the account managers are rude and abrupt, they were not helpful and actually told one person "stop wasting my time" and hung up the phone. Don't let the IRS scare you like they did me... if you cooperate with them, they WILL work with you.

Bluetax is a fake law firm that just makes fake promises about your case. I hired them in 2009 to resolve some past due tax liabilities and they completely forgot about my case for almost a year and they did nothing. I got a garnishment then I had to call a different company to fix it. The key on these places is most of them are owned by people that are not even licensed, so they do not really care if your case goes good or bad since really they have no liability.
The second firm I called about my case charged me about 40% less than bluetax and my garnishment was lifted within a week. I highly reccomend calling them before signing with blue tax, as you will only save money. the company name is (((competitor's name redacted))) and their number is (((redacted))). Their website is (((redacted))) I really wish I would known about them before I hired bluetax. I would have saved a lot of money and time.
sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company, ..plus, if you post a competitors name more than likely they will show up on search engines as a Rip-off! - - your comments on this policy are welcome. CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report. In this case we removed an alleged competitors name

I BETCHA that your Tax problems are not resolved by Blue Tax, Inc. I betcha they contacted you about this negative report that you wrote. conning you into making an update. All the while they are just stalling you and stealing your money, and making sure you are still content stalling the time when you come to realization of what is happening. Call the IRS find out if they did what they said that they were going to do.

Update: I received a phone call today from my account manager at Blue Tax. After speaking with the attorneys about the horrendous phone conversation with the compliance department last night, they have decided to resolve my tax liability issues afterall. According to the account manager, they have already been in contact with the IRS and the liability has been resolved up thru 2010. They will be rolling 2011 into the agreement and I will hear from him once that's been completed. I will post another update once I have received notification from the IRS that this has actually been done. Apparently, Blue Tax has decided to honor their agreement with me, regardless of the fact that they, by their own admission, undercharged me for their services. If this turns out to be the case, I will be very happy with the outcome.
