Was hit with over $200,000 including penalties and interest… as of September 2022, my tax bill was reversed and I now owe $0. This is the best possible outcome.
I was audited by the IRS… I received a notice of changes for 2023 tax year for $450,000. Leading Tax Group appealed the changes and reduced the $450,000 down to $35,000… Amazing tax attorneys!!
I spoke to James today. Although he indicated his company couldn’t take my case, he gave me valuable information. I appreciate that you didn’t think my case was just a money grab. If there is ever a reason I could use their services, I most certainly will!!
I received tax delinquency notices from the IRS and the FTB regarding 1099’s I missed including on prior tax years. The balanced assessed was over $800,000 and included penalties and interest! … The outcome of my case was very favorable and the attorneys at LTG were able to eliminate all my penalties and get me on an affordable payment plan.
Leading Tax Group is amazing. I was terrified with my tax debt, and even the idea of talking with the IRS gave me extreme anxiety. Once I retained him, my stress levels dropped by 90% … the IRS approving the payment arrangement he negotiated … $500 per month for $120,000 in debt … I am so impressed.
We received correspondence from the California Franchise Tax Board that indicated we owed significant amounts for several prior tax years. They were the letters you have nightmares about and freeze your ability to move forward… it is impossible to place a value on their knowledge, insight, caring, and their inside knowledge of how the system works.
