Services
Tax attorneys at TaxHelpers help in resolving tax problems with the IRS and California taxing agencies, including: The Franchise Tax Board (FTB), Employment Development Department (EDD), and State Board of Equalization (SBE). Our tax lawyers have extensive experience in resolving tax liens, levies, penalties, payroll taxes and many other tax problems.
There are many reasons why tax problems happen. Below is the anatomy of a tax problem, including the most common causes, effects and solutions for back taxes. Divorce - All the emotional and financial resources are spent on ending the marriage. Tax records may be lost and tax money may be diverted to legal fees and maintenance of separate households.
A wage garnishment is a brutal method of collecting a tax debt directly from the taxpayer's paycheck. It is the ultimate "guided missile", striking at the most vulnerable source, your ability to provide a living for you and your family. This is a common tool that the IRS and the state of California use to collect back taxes through your employer.
IRS Collectors have a powerful arsenal of collection methods. Although it seems like a routine administrative exercise, a tax lien is actually one of the most powerful collections weapons, especially when the taxpayer owns real estate or other major assets. Unlike a levy or a wage garnishment, a tax lien does not immediately seize any assets, but its consequences may be more harmful, and last for many years. A Lien grants the tax agency a legal claim to the debtor's assets as security for a tax debt.

Alex was a great help with my dealings with the IRS and I was able to trust him completely with my tax issues. He took over the communications with them and made sure all the details were covered. With his help, we ended up only having to pay a small amount for the settlement and I was more than satisfied with the result.

I recently had a tax issue with the IRS & Franchise Tax Board that went back several years and had grown to a large overdue tax bill. Please note I said, "had" a tax issue. Over the course of the last several months Alex was not only able to file previously unfiled tax returns, amend previously submitted tax returns, have penalties removed and establish a monthly payment program with both agencies. Today, I no longer have any tax issues.
I am not stressing about another letter in the mail from either of these agencies demanding payment. No, I am living the good life. Thanks to Alex. If you ever find yourself at odds with either of these agencies, I strongly suggest you consider calling Alex. He really can help you! He is knowledgeable. He is fair. He is real, and he is nice.

I didn't even have to hire this guy, and yet he spent 30 minutes on the phone explaining what I needed and why hiring him would be overkill! Talk about an honest lawyer. Alex is one heck of a professional. I am so impressed. He called me right back. I didn't have to wait a day for a response like some of his competition. But my God, he explained exactly what I needed. Told me if I needed more guidance to call him back. Wow.
I actually *want* to hire him. If only I actually needed him at the moment. You can bet if I needed a kick ass tax lawyer, I'm going to him. He is sharp and focused on his clients.

These guys saved me 19k! IRS sent me a notice saying I owed them 20k. I panicked and came on yelp to see what I should do. Tax Helpers explained to me that there was definitely money to be saved and in the end it turned out to be 19k in savings! (Thanks to the IRS assuming i had a $0 cost basis when in fact it was far higher than that) Anyway I wouldn't have known any of that tax stuff without Tax Helpers' help so thanks for the help with taxes, Tax Helpers!

We called Alex to see if he would help us with a notice of deficiency and he was SO helpful immediately over the phone. Although he said he wasn't taking any litigation cases, he asked us what was going on, he then explained to us exactly what was happening with our situation, how to resolve it and guided us onward. Thank you, Alex!

I have a complicated tax related problem and need professional consultant. Alex called me back right away and took my question seriously. He tried to break down the problems and pointed out critical parts to me based on his professional knowledge. In addition, he also quickly asked his colleagues for a more diversified opinions to make sure we don't reach to a biased conclusion. Highly recommend him if you need service he provided.

Alex Gluzman at Tax Helpers did an amazing job rescuing us from the claws of the IRS. I had tried working with the IRS for over six years trying to straighten out an error on their part that had the IRS wrongfully coming after my husband and I for over $17000. My only mistake was not calling Tax Helpers first. Alex took over our case and quickly resolved the issue with us owing the IRS NOTHING!
He was always available to answer questions and even worked to helped us answer some questions that came up several years after he finished our case. He is awesome and we can't thank him enough!

Alex was excellent. He took care of a very heavy Tax concern and was patient with me and all my emails and delays. Very trust worthy and made something very serious be very easy to deal with. Not once did I have to visit his office. He was fast, available immediately and helpful. I'd recommend him and will be using his service again if needed.

I called Alex after blowing off the IRS for years and they finally caught up to me. After a quick phone conversation, i sent him the requested info. within a week, he had contacted them and they agreed to hold off any action until we could get caught up with the unfiled back taxes. I am a procrastinator. i admit that and Alex was great at pushing me to get things done in a timely manner.
He involved my input with his accountant, reduced my liability by at least 30%, and resolved to get me on a payback installment agreement with them. I would recommend him to anyone with similar issues. He doesn't make any false promised, he's upfront and honest in his assessments, and he's a nice guy to boot. Thank you Alex.

Did not officially use Alex but I'm giving him five stars because I called and had some questions and inquired about my tax issues. Alex gave me some helpful info pointed me in the right direction and assessed my situation. Basically gave me free valuable advice just to be helpful. That tells me he's not trying to rip me off because he could've easily had me come in and charged me a consultation fee when he didn't need to. That says a lot to me. If I do require a tax attorney in the future, he's getting the call. Thx!

Better than Expected Results! Don't waste your time or money with any of those others. I had gotten and followed bad advice that caused me to have huge tax troubles. My case was complicated and I was "left for dead" by other tax attorneys I contacted. Alex Gluzman and Dima Brodskiy worked hard to help me organize and file five years of tax returns and correct the big issues. When all was said and done my bill was reduced by 85%. I could not be more please with my results. If you need a tax miracle call Alex Gluzman at Tax Helpers

If a 6-star rating was available, Tax Helpers earned it for their work on our behalf. They're the only ones to have in your corner helping with a personal tax situation. Alex brought expertise, confidence and a sense of calm, honing right in on what the issue was, and clearly communicating our course of action. He was prompt and took a personal interest in a positive outcome for us as a client.
His work ethic and accessibility make him stand out. He picked up the phone on my first call, and took time to listen, ask questions and assess the situation. I assumed that was for show to land a client, but he never handed me off to deal with someone else, and not one of my calls ever went to voicemail or a receptionist. Not only that, but the minute I signed on with him, it was go time.
I saw more action in the first 24 hours than I imagined was ever possible with an IRS issue. He was clear and direct in outlining what needed to be done. He typically got back to me within the hour, often in minutes, with the next step to take. I wouldn't hesitate to engage or recommend Tax Helpers. Thank you, Alex, for your 6- out of 5-star expertise and service.

I contacted Tax Helpers after receiving a notice from the IRS. I spoke with Alex and he was front and center with regards to resolving my issues (multiple issues!). Alex put me in touch with an accountant, sent me the required paperwork and was on the phone with the tax authorities multiple times. He was/is exceedingly professional, prompt and knows how to get things done. I would highly recommend Alex at Tax Helpers to anyone that finds themselves in jam with the IRS.

Alex over at Tax Helpers definitely knows what he's doing and is very quick to start to resolve your issues. I called him with several complex situations and he was very knowledgable of my options. After receiving many scary notices in the mail and even a wage garnishment order, I decided to ask for help - and thankfully I chose to call Tax Helpers, my only regret is not calling much sooner. Alex always answered all my questions immediately, he even answered emails after hours and on weekends. All in all, I'm so glad I called Tax Helpers.
