TaxRise Pros and Cons:

How much does TaxRise charge for its tax relief services?

Fees vary depending on the size and complexity of each case.

You may be able to request a refund if you are unsatisfied with their services. Visit their site for more details on the terms and conditions of the money back guarantee.

What is the minimum tax debt TaxRise will consider?

TaxRise will only consider customers with at least $5,000 in tax debt. Taxpayers with less than $5,000 in tax debt may benefit from a debt consolidation loan or credit counseling services.

What kind of tax cases can TaxRise handle?

TaxRise provides assistance to taxpayers for a wide selection of tax issues. These include:

• Currently not Collectible Cases
• Installment Agreement Cases
• Bank Account Levy
• Can't Afford To Pay Tax Debt
• Disagree With Amount Owed
• Revenue Officer Calling
• Tax Lien
• Tax Audit
• Unfiled Return
• Wage Garnishment

What type of customers does TaxRise consider?

TaxRise deals with personal AND business tax relief cases. Some tax attorneys specialize in one or the other.

What type of Currently Not Collectible cases does TaxRise consider?

Currently not collectible (or CNC), means the IRS has determined you don't have the assets or the income to repay your tax debt. In such cases, the IRS stops the collection process until your financial situation improves. Some tax relief companies will either not accept cases with CNC status or have a policy to only take cases that fall within a maximum term before the CNC status expiration.

TaxRise will consider currently not collectible cases. Note that TaxRise will consider all CNC cases regardless of their expiration date.

What type of Installment Agreement Cases does TaxRise consider?

If a taxpayer already has an affordable installment agreement with the IRS, there may not be much a tax relief company can do to help. Which is why some tax relief companies will not take on these cases.

Does TaxRise have the staff to provide in-house services?

Yes, TaxRise employs its own tax relief specialists.
