The Problem With Traditional Ways of Finding Tax Help
TaxCure was created to address a specific problem in the tax resolution industry - the challenge of finding a trustworthy tax pro.
TV commercials, social media ads, and online review sites make it sound easy to get help. There are all kinds of companies promising to solve your tax problems and help you settle for pennies on the dollar. That sounds great - but it's just not that easy.
Unfortunately, the big firms that dominate the tax relief space lack hands-on experience, particularly with business and state tax problems. They get clients through massive marketing campaigns, paid placement on review sites, and aggressive sales teams.
When you call a national tax relief company, your case gets randomly assigned to a tax professional — in most cases, you never know who's working your case, and you certainly don't speak with them directly. These companies have tax professionals on staff, but they're typically overworked and inexperienced.
With most big firms, the only person you'll talk with directly is a sales professional. They know very little about taxes or IRS processes. Despite that, they'll often make promises that you can qualify for certain types of tax relief — in particular, they're notorious for overpromising tax settlements. They're trained to get you to sign up for their services, and they'll say about anything to get you to pull out your credit card, regardless of the type of tax problem you're having.

Aren't the big tax relief companies the best option?
If you look at any major online review site, the national firms dominate the lists of "best tax relief firms". But if you look at user-submitted review sites like the Better Business Bureau, Google Business reviews, or Yelp, you'll see a different story with a lot of bad reviews and customer complaints about these same companies.
How can sites with trusted brand names, like Forbes, say these companies are the best if they're not? Well, sometimes, it's because the big tax relief companies pay for placement. In other cases, it's due to the limited research done for these review articles - for instance, the writer might look at 10 companies and narrow it down to the top five, and of course, they don't look at any small firms during that process.
Don't take our word for it - all of these sites spell out their editorial process. To find out how a particular website works, look for its advertising disclosures or editorial notes. Check out this guide to the best tax relief companies for more insights on how this all works.
The TaxCure Difference - Why You Can Trust TaxCure
How TaxCure Compares to Big Tax Relief Companies
| Feature | TaxCure | Big National Firms |
|---|---|---|
| 🔍 Find Licensed Pros | Verified EAs, CPAs, and tax attorneys listed with credentials. | You’re assigned a random pro — often without knowing who they are. |
| 🗂️ Filter by Tax Problem | Search by issue or solution to find specialists in that area. | Generic intake forms and catch-all promises. |
| 📞 Speak Directly to a Pro | Contact the tax pro directly — no sales representatives | Calls are routed to sales staff, not the pro handling your case. |
| 👤 Transparent Profiles | See the pro’s name, credentials, services, and verified reviews. | Profiles are vague or hidden behind company branding. |
| ⚖️ Ethical Standards | All pros are licensed and bound by Circular 230 ethics rules. | Sales-first approach — minimal accountability or oversight. |
| 📍 Local Experts | Search by ZIP or state to find a pro near you. | Typically operate from national call centers with no local focus. |
TaxCure is not a big tax relief company. It's a directory of small firms and independent tax professionals who focus on tax resolution. When you use TaxCure, you can filter the search results to find a pro in your area who has the exact experience you need. The professionals on TaxCure are focused on solving tax problems, not on sales and marketing.
TaxCure is also committed to transparency, both with our internal practices and in the tax relief industry as a whole. When you connect with a pro on TaxCure, you can see exactly who you're hiring and read reviews on the tax professional, not just their company. When you work with a small firm, you get to talk directly with the pro - there are no middlemen or sales people. Just message the pro, call them, or schedule a free consultation.
All of the tax professionals featured on TaxCure are licensed tax professionals (enrolled agents, tax attorneys, and CPAs). That means they had to go through training and testing to earn their credentials and complete continuing education to keep their credentials active. It also means that they're bound by Circular 230 ethical standards — in fact, without exception, licensed tax pros are required to take a certain number of ethics credits with their continuing education requirements.
