James Sharmat of Tax Lifeboat, Inc was extremely professional and encouraging and he was able to settle my $10,000-plus tax issue for exactly what he promised to, which was virtually nothing. Read More »

I called due to a tax issues. After months of stressing out on what to do. As soon as I got of the 1st phone call I felt so much better The staff explained everything to me in terms that I could understand. They worked with me every step of the way and because of James S "My attorney" I was able to settle with the IRS for about 97% of what was owed. You guys did a great jobs and I will always only recommend your company to anyone that is looking for IRS help. Read More »

I owed 214,000 dollars in back taxes. I didn't think I had much of a chance of getting it down and they had started garnishing my wages. James Sharmat handled my case and got them to stop garnishing my wages and got it down to owing just 10,000 dollars. It took a BIG big weight off my shoulders. I would recommend him to everybody that needs help. He couldn't have done it any better it was the best. Read More »

This review will supersede any reviews. I paid tax lifeboat approximately $2000 dollars to represent me. James Sharmat constantly lost items that i submitted to him. He presented an offer an compromise to the IRS. They responded with an offer that was more than I initially negotiated. Mr. Sharmat continued with the process. I submitted additional information that he lost, which caused me to miss a deadline. Therefore I was denied my Offer in Compromise. I spoke with the manager. She sided wit... Read More »

Throughout the process of Tax Lifeboat assisting me with 3 years of unfiled taxes I felt like I was repeatedly ignored when it came to giving input to my tax situation for one year in particular. I had moved for business reasons and had all the receipts to use for deductions. I mentioned this on at least three occasions to Tax Lifeboat personnel and was told the tax attorney would contact me if they needed any information. I was never contacted and the deduction was never applied. Since my... Read More »

Shortly after the economic turn in 2008, our business tanked and we were hit with an audit. Unable to pay taxes, we had a tax burden of over $160,000 and were losing everything. I contacted Tax Lifeboat and found them straightforward and professional. After paying the required fee, I procrastinated in locating needed documents. I delivered the information to Tax Lifeboat late, which "voided" the guarantee, but that DID NOT affect their handling of my case. Once I delivered the information, my... Read More »

Tax Lifeboat took over my case from another company, so they came in to the situation with a lot of catching up to do. But they did a great job of keeping me informed of the progress of my case with the IRS and actually MAKING progress. The IRS is slow to respond and the whole process is frustrating, but Tax Lifeboat helped me to understand what was going on and what the next steps were at all times. It's great to have liens removed and levies lifted. What a relief! The best thing is final... Read More »

I would like to thank Tax Lifeboat for helping me resolve my tax debt with the IRS. They acted as consultants and guided me step by step in what to expect and what to do next. Thanks for making this process easy and as stress free as possible! Read More »

Mere words alone cannot describe the feeling of having the IRS burden lifted from our shoulders. We had tried working with the IRS for many years only to have our offers rejected time after time. Then we found Tax Lifeboat and specifically our representative, Matt Haupt! He quickly put us at ease, explained the options and processes carefully and in a language we could understand. He kept us informed throughout the IRS progression. After almost 8 months, Matt called and told us that the IRS h... Read More »

I can not say enough about this wonderful company, and my personal consultant, James Sharmat. My husband and I went through a living hell with the IRS. We hired three other tax resolution companies before finally finding one that actually did what they said they would. James Sharmat went to bat for us and never tired of going toe to toe with the IRS agent who was threatening to take my home and property. Tax Lifeboat was a God send, to be sure. I am only sorry I didn't find them sooner. I wou... Read More »

It is not often that the company one has hired to get you out of difficulty with the IRS goes bankrupt but, that is exactly what happened to me and ended up hiring TAX LIFEBOAT to save me from an already difficult situation. Having worked with TAX LIFEBOAT for eight ( 8 ) months it is my opinion that I could not have received better and more professional service. First they filed all needed back returns,second they stopped the IRS from further harassment, and are now working with the IRS... Read More »

Struggled for a couple of yrs trying to deal with our IRS problems ourselves & were getting no where. The fees , interest & penalties kept rising till it more than doubled what we originally owed - then they started garnishing my wages & put levies to boot didn't know where to turn for help. Did a lot of research - {because lost money before on shysters promises that never came through}. Found a very reputable firm with Tax lifeboat. WE HIGHLY RECOMEND THEM !! Very professional & knowled... Read More »

I had a really bad experience with another tax company that went bankrupt. Tax Lifeboat went right to work when I talked to them, set me up with the easiest way to communicate for me (email) and took care of the forms back and forth. I owed taxes in the 5 figures area and they got it down to almost 3 figures. When we were on a 3-way call with the IRS I was literally telling both of them that I love them. After the IRS hung up, and it was just me and the Tax Lifeboat attorney, I asked him what... Read More »

Our tax issues had been piling up for several years. My husband and I got to the point where we were afraid of wage garnishment or having our bank account levied. From the moment I contacted Tax Lifeboat I was put at ease. The representative helped us through the whole process of filing our back taxes and making an installment agreement with the IRS. It was nice to have the same person through the whole process and our issues were resolved quickly and affordably. Even when I had a question se... Read More »

Thank you! Due to my own procrastination I created an IRS mess that I had not resolved over a two year period. I was not sure what to do as I let the situation worsen. I contacted Tax Lifeboat on Tuesday and by Thursday afternoon the issue was resolved (bank levy refunded) and a plan brokered via conference call with the IRS. Whitney and James kept me updated and treated me with respect throughout the process. I slept well last night for the first time in a long time…THANK YOU! Read More »

I hesitantly chose Tax Lifeboat, Inc. because now-a-days too many promises are made but not followed through. I am more than ecstatic that I did choose them. Not only were they courteous, attentive (made me feel like I was their only client) and informative- they were blazing fast. I owed the IRS over $23,000.00 and they began garnishing my wages which quickly left me almost destitute. The Tax Lifeboats team of Tax Prepares, Case Managers and Attorneys had my garnishment lifted in an unbeliev... Read More »

"Thank you for allowing me to exhale! I could not sleep and was a nervous wreck when I receive notice that IRS was going to garnish my wages. You worked through your lunch, lost phone contact with IRS after you had almost finished wrapping up the deal for me, and then you called them back to stay on the phone for 3 hours negotiating on my behalf. In the end IRS agreed to remove the levy from my wages. All of this was done in one day and the customer service that was provided was excellent fro... Read More »

Hi Daniel, I just wanted to offer up some praise to you, Whitney, James, and Ali for the excellent work did on my case at a reasonable rate. You and Whitney were quick to respond to my needs in every way and most supportive through this embarrassment. James was a no nonsense "get er done" guy and Ali was the all over it response lady. Even after the case was "closed out" they were openly active to clear up aftermath issues. Thank You! R.W. Read More »
