I was facing a significant tax issue, and Dave Petzinger, one of the Stephen’s Attorneys, was able to navigate it quickly, effectively and professionally, helping me resolve it completely. I am so grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with tax matters.

Stephen's team may be angels on earth... I was beyond overwhelmed by the situation I found myself in. Beside myself. The weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders. It's not something I could even put into a few words, how impactful having good, effective help has been through this. Thank you isn't enough...

Stephen's attorney David Feldman with Fortress Tax Relief has work with me over the last 8 years in helping me with past tax issues regarding my business. It was a very complicated case and David, and his team work hard to provide a resolution with the IRS. David was always available to answer any questions I had. He was very informative as he guided me through the process of working with the IRS. David was diligent in working with me and the IRS which providing me the best resolution I could expect. I highly recommend David and Fortress Tax relief. Fortress is a very professional company that will help and guide you through a difficult process. Keith Sanders

I had several years of back taxes to deal with, and Steven Galgoczy and his team helped me get set up with a payment plan that worked best for my situation.
From the beginning, Steven and his team were upfront, honest, and clear with me. They explained that an offer in compromise might not be appropriate for my circumstances, which saved me a lot of wasted time and helped me focus on the best path forward.
Stevens attorneys were extremely responsive throughout the whole process, and I could not be happier with the end result.

Stephen Galgoczy partner David Feldman's attention to detail is above bar. His strategic angle with the tax resolution process provides clients such as myself an ease of knowing the right person was chosen to navigate the overwhelming and cumbersome waters of the process. Thanks David!
Review
Stephen’s team resolved a very large and long time tax liability. After many attempts at payment plans and other self attempts with the IRS, the accumulating interest and penalties were overwhelming. Great job and thank you.
Review
Out of all of the tax relief companies that exist, I chose Fortress Tax Relief because of their exceptional rating on the Better Business Bureau. The folks here were able to negotiate with the IRS to set up monthly payments I could afford. Almost a year after I hired them, I decided to sell my home and pay off the tax debts that I was facing all at once. Fortress Tax Relief stuck with me throughout the entire process, until I had every bit of back taxes and accrued interest paid off. What I appreciate most of all is that I never felt alone during this whole process. I especially appreciate Karlin, who was my rock the entire time. She always had my back, and I am so very, very thankful to be where I am right now.

There are not enough good adjectives that we can use to describe the Professional experience we received from Fortress. Getting that letter from the IRS can be very scary but do not get scared just call Fortress and go on with your life while they negotiate the best deal for you. Call today

For years, I carried the heavy burden of tax debt, convinced that working harder would eventually get me back on track. But despite my best efforts, I kept falling deeper into a cycle of penalties, compounding interest, and mounting stress.
In my search for real help, I eventually found Stephen's team at Fortress Tax Relief—a firm that immediately stood out because they assign licensed attorneys, not clerks or call center staff, to handle cases. That distinction would prove to be critical. But before I made the decision to work with Fortress, I made the unfortunate mistake of hiring another company that seemed reputable at the time.
That company promised to pursue an Offer in Compromise but never followed through. Instead, they simply duplicated steps I had already taken on my own—like securing “currently not collectible” status. While they handled my tax filings, they missed key deductions, frequently closed my case without warning, and shuffled me between more than a dozen reps. Each time, I had to start over—and pay again. I later learned I wasn’t alone in this experience. To make things worse, I was even belittled by their staff, despite doing everything I could to stay compliant.
Eventually, I turned to Fortress Tax Relief, and this time, I got the support I needed. David Petzinger and his team were professional, honest, and confident. They carefully reviewed my case and were certain I qualified for a settlement—and they were right.
Although the process was delayed due to IRS staffing issues, Fortress stayed committed throughout. After multiple IRS reviews, I finally received the letter I had hoped for: my Offer in Compromise was approved.
If you’re facing tax debt you genuinely can’t pay, I highly recommend Fortress Tax Relief. They deliver results—and they treat you with the respect you deserve.

Review
When I look at the value a service provider brings—whether in my personal or professional life—I usually boil it down to two things: price and results.
With Stephen's team, I felt I paid a fair price, but the results went way beyond what I ever expected.
I had fallen into serious IRS debt after self-funding a startup with my retirement savings. My goal wasn’t just to set up a long repayment plan—I wanted to actually reduce the IRS’s taxes, interest, and penalties. Fortress made that happen. In the end, we closed my IRS matter with a six-figure reduction.
To say my expectations were exceeded would be an understatement. I can honestly say I’d highly recommend Fortress to anyone dealing with IRS issues.

I was very grateful to receive the help and expertise provided by Stephen K. Galgoczy, Attorney at Fortress Tax Relief. I was helped tremendously with the process of all the steps required to assist my elderly Mother in resolving a complicated IRS issue. I was assisted in stopping any garnishments or property seizures that would have otherwise taken place without his help.
My elderly Mother had withdrawn the entirety of the funds from an IRA account due to a scam, and was unaware that she was required to pay the IRS taxes after the funds were withdrawn. I was able to act on her behalf with the help of Stephen K. Galgoczy to resolve this issue and keep my mother safe in her home. I felt completely reassured through the entire process and felt comforted that I was in good and professional hands to take care of this stressful situation.

I’ve had the good fortune of being represented by Stephen's attorney at Fortress Tax Relief. I would characterize Stephen's attorney as tenacious in the best sense of the word as it relates to the handling of my case with the IRS given his dogged attention to detail and a work ethic second to none. Add to this his adeptness at navigating the complex landscape of IRS policies and procedures and you end up with an attorney who leaves you totally confident that you are being represented by someone who possesses an abundance of legal skills and who takes great pride in their work. I sleep much better at night knowing that my case is the capable hands of Stephen's attorney.
Review
I am 73 years old and have unfiled taxes for years gone by for both Oregon and the IRS. I had a really hard time finding anyone with any good experience dealing with the state of Oregon in particular. I finally contacted Fortress Tax relief and was given a great team headed by David Feldman. It turned out to be the best call I ever made! I owed the Department of revenue over $70,000. David Feldman and the Fortress Tax teams years of experience settled my debt for under $6000! There is absolutely no way I could’ve done this on my own! I highly recommend Fortress! They actually do what they say!
Review
Fortress was great from the beginning! They helped me resolve the IRS issue within months. I had tried this before with another company and after paying for years, still had n resolution. I’m truly grateful for the help I received at Fortress.

I’m 66 and was in for $80k. Financial Fortress set me up with a fantastic team headed up by a very experienced talented and patient lawyer part of Stephen’s wide and varied team.
Although my case took some time based on the IRS rules and my circumstances. The end result worked out well and the settlement to the IRS was about $1,000.00.
This took so much stress away and I’m grateful!

I highly recommend Stephen's Team for dealing with delinquent tax returns and significant tax debt. My experience with them was excellent. Stephen's team provided outstanding support throughout the entire process. They were always available to address my questions and they consistently kept me updated during the negotiation process. I was very impressed with their level of expertise, professionalism and dedication to resolving my tax case.
Review
I can’t say enough good things about Fortress Tax Relief, David Feldman! From start to finish, their team was professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. It took me a while to gather all my documents, but they never rushed me and were always supportive throughout the process.
I had a significant tax debt—even though I was making my monthly payments, it felt like I was never going to get out from under it. To make matters worse, I added new taxes from the next year. I was completely overwhelmed. Fortriss stepped in and took the stress off my shoulders, handling negotiations over several months to get me a plan that was actually affordable and manageable.
Their expertise and dedication truly made a difference. If you're feeling stuck with tax debt, I highly recommend Fortress Tax Relief—they helped me find a way forward when I couldn’t see one myself!

Peter and Karlin at Fortress went above and beyond to help my dad resolve his IRS and CA DOR debts after he fell behind due to major medical issues. Their expertise and experience were evident, throughout the process—they knew exactly what to do and how to handle everything with confidence and efficiency. Beyond that they showed genuine care, respect, and kindness, acknowledging not just my dad’s financial struggles but his health challenges as well. Their professionalism and compassion during my dad’s final years made a stressful situation easier and we are incredibly grateful. Highly recommend Fortress!
Review
Stephen and the lawyers at Fortress Tax produce extraordinary results. They have experience that is integral for creating and negotiating a settlement on behalf of their clients. I did a lot of research and am grateful to have discovered and ultimately chosen Fortress. David managed my case. His knowledge of tax law was life changing for me. This is a stressful process, and his staff, led by Katie, provided terrific support that lessened any anxiety. The entire team was time efficient. I am impressed with the amount of details they manage during this process. Thanks to Stephen for running an exemplary company!
Review
Both Stephen and David Feldman represented us. The COVID pandemic, which compromised my business, along with family illness and loved ones passing in both my and my wife’s families, caused us to get behind in paying our IRS taxes.
While my wife was away caring for her brother, I received a certified letter/summons from the IRS mandating that I attend a hearing in CT with all returns/paperwork completed and with full payment of back taxes. I phoned IRS. They weren’t interested in excuses.
I’d heard countless tax relief ads on talk radio over the past few years, yet when I did my due diligence and reviewed those advertised, they didn’t rate well. I found Fortress Tax Relief on the Forbes Advisor w/ a five-star rating under “Best Tax Relief Companies Of December 2024.” I phoned Fortress and my mind was quickly put to rest as they listened patiently, and then outlined what they could provide for us. I was told I would not have to show up for the IRS hearing.
David Feldman and the team at Fortress came through for us in unimaginable ways, repeatedly and consistently. I had one call from the IRS right after contracting with Fortress. IRS was brutal, stating that I needed to “shut my mouth and listen” when I attempted to explain that I’d contracted with Fortress.
Fortress protected us from the IRS. David Feldman kept them from levying, which IRS repeatedly threatened via mail. We were able to settle with David’s help. Fortress provided a safety net which allowed us to go on with our lives w/out threats and pressure from the IRS – and we are most grateful. Fortress is very deserving of this FIVE-STAR review. They didn’t once let us down. We wrote and spoke several times. Our concerns were always responded to quickly. My wife and I recommend Fortress very highly. They did what they promised. They were personable and most responsible – and the price we paid was most fair considering the multiple times Fortress went to bat for us. Kudos to David Feldman and his team.

Review
After a series of unexpected events, including the pandemic lockdown which was catastrophic to my industry worldwide and a subsequent 8-month! industry strike and general work slowdown, I found myself hopelessly behind in paying my IRS taxes. Of course, with that string of bad luck, naturally the IRS decided that now would be the best time to demand payment. Might as well kick me when I’m already down.
I had heard countless radio ads over the years for tax relief services, but now it seemed I needed help from someone who could help me as financial matters have never been my specialty. After some research, I came across information for FORTRESS TAX RELIEF, who I had never heard of before, yet the company was highly rated. It was a bit more expensive than the other options, and I was still struggling to just pay normal bills, but I decided that I needed the best to help me manage this spiraling situation.
After speaking with the owner about my circumstances, he handed me off to Mr. David Feldman and his assistant, Amber, who patiently listened to my story. They seemed to understand the difficulties that got me here and worked tirelessly to negotiate a payment plan that was more realistic than what the IRS initially was demanding. I still owe a lot of money and am still struggling with income, but without David and Amber’s help, the situation would be far far worse.
David went above and beyond as we ran into an unexpected snag with one of my payroll companies which erroneously withheld THOUSANDS of dollars that they shouldn’t have. David helped get to the bottom of their error in conjunction with the IRS agent and thankfully stopped the wrongly garnishments, money I really could have used all that time (and now!).
Both David and Amber have been so kind, helpful, and always available to answer any questions I have. Their calm demeanor has been truly welcome during a very stressful time. I really can’t recommend Fortress enough.

Review
Amazing service!!! I had David Feldman, work on my case with the IRS. The IRS wanted me to pay $5000 a month for 4 months to pay off my tax debt. David negotiated $300 payments! David and his team handled everything. They answer all your questions and are honest about what they can do for you. I would highly recommend fortress tax relief.
Review
I could not be happier with the service. Provide what is needed in a timely manner and they will take care of the rest. My tax issue was huge. I paid the flat max fee that was beyond reasonable and they were able to work directly with the IRS and were able to have my penalties and interest removed. Roughly 200k. If it is possible they will do it. They really do care about their clients.
Review
I cant say enough good things about Fortress and David and Neil. I was in a position that I had no idea how to get ahead of and they were able to come up with a solution that works for everyone. I had an IRS field officer involved that was VERY aggressive, even going as far as to levy my paycheck. David not only got that released but he structured a payment arrangement that I could handle. David absolutely went to bat for me. There are a lot of companies out there that only care about getting your money not helping people in tough positions. That was not the case with the Fortress team. They took the time to get to know my situation and me. Thank you David and Neil you guys are awesome.
Review
They gained access to my transcripts, provided a full analysis, helped me make decisions based of available courses of action, negotiated with the IRS, and advocated on my behalf. They prevented further penalties, like liens and wage garnishments from occurring, provided advice, reduced penalties, and helped me establish a payment plan.
Review
I am very fortunate to have found Fortress Tax Relief to assist me in resolving my tax issue with the IRS. Initially the IRS sent me a tax bill for a significant amount of money owed which I tried to solve myself unsuccessfully. The Fortress team was able to resolve all of those tax issues for me.
Review
Fortress is the real deal. I’ve worked with Stephen’s team for several years and he was absolutely terrific. My tax situation was difficult to resolve , but he brought his experience and knowledge with him to help me negotiate a settlement with the IRS and a satisfactory offer in compromise, all with incredible patience. I highly recommend Stephen’s team at Fortress to help you resolve any tax issues you may have.
Review
Stephen's team helped me figure out what needed to be done and guided me along the way. I finally got Tax Relief with the help of sephens attorneys through this long journey. I would highly recommend Stephen and his great team!
Review
Stephen and his assistant Amber Raszler were amazing to work with. Very professional and always quick in replying to any of my questions. They kept me updated on my status. They helped me to find comfort and peace in my situation with the IRS. Thank you guys so much and I will definitely refer you to my friends and family.
Review
Incredible experience! I've had my tax issues fixed by Fortress Tax Relief and especially by David Feldman. The entire staff is fantastic. We appreciate the detail and excellent follow through in every part of our dealing with them and of course the peace of mind that this issue is behind me. These people really know their business and care about ours. We highly recommend Fortress Tax Relief as they fixed my past issues caused by the bad choice I made in hiring a poor tax preparing company. Taxes have always been so confusing but they made this nightmare a breeze. Thanks so much and I hope to never have to use them again!
Review
I found Fortress Tax Relief in an article by Forbes that rated them #1 and did a lot of research before I reached out. I am very glad I decided to hire the firm. The owner Stephen Galgoczy called me and was very professional, taking his time to fully explain the services provided. I was connected with my Lawyer David Petzinger & Neil Griffin and they have made my journey easy as can be. They were able to deal with all of the red tape and provide me with a payment plan I can actually afford rather than the payment plan the IRS tried to enforce on me. The value I received was not having to spend countless hours stressing over paperwork. As a business professional I can recommend the service without hesitation.
Review
I cannot say enough good things about Fortress Tax Relief. I recommend them to anyone who has a tax problem.
Review
I hired Stephen Galgoczy’ firm to address a complex tax situation with the IRS in which the IRS was claiming I owed approximately $80,000 in back taxes and penalty fees. The team quickly cut through the red tape that is ever-present when interacting with the IRS. They were successful in petitioning the IRS to review their action and the IRS quickly agreed with their appeal, which saved me $80,000 in taxes.” I would hire them again without hesitation.
Review
I’m a retired CPA helping friends with nearly $100k in unpaid federal taxes. I realized the situation needed more expertise than I had. David and Shea got into the nitty gritty of the financial situation, helped us sort through different options, and then secured an installment agreement that is doable. Both were very responsive anytime we reached out. I would use them again and would highly recommend Fortress.
Review
I researched tax relief companies, spoke with a few and decided to go with Fortress Tax Relief. I am so glad that I did. David and Shea are so knowledgeable, professional and helpful. I was very stressed about my IRS issues and couldn’t resolve on my own. David F, tax attorney worked diligently and secured an IRS resolution. David F and Shea answered all of my questions through the process and also so timely and calming. Fortress Tax are true professionals and care about what they do.
Review
I loved the fact these are tax attorneys with experience in dealing directly with the IRS. When I requested information, there was no “now deal” sales pitch. No feeling someone was making a commission off me. It was a flat rate. Take it or leave it. There was an honest evaluation of my seemingly hopeless condition. There were options provided. Unfortunately, those options do cost a money. After looking at the pros and cons of doing nothing and taking a chance, I took the first step. After making the decision to move forward, I gained piece of mind that “they” wouldn’t come right after me. I had professionals helping me out, which is more than I was doing before.
When I first started with them, I was accurately informed that it is a process. My summary of the process is – stop and evaluate the situation. Ensure legal doom is not imminent. Develop a plan and try to execute the plan. The execution part can take some time. Here’s where I found Fortress best for me.
Information was requested when information was needed. The sooner I could get it to them, the better. Again, the process takes time. Even when there are no updates, I would get an update letting me know there is work in process. If I was taking too long, they would check on my updates. All in all, it took about a year and a half to get COMPLETELY out of debt with the IRS. I owe them zero dollars. On top of that, I can have a passport again!
Trust is a hard thing to give over the internet or a phone call these days. However, after this experience, I feel David Feldman and Shea Smirl (and I’m sure others), took care of me and my family. With the long delay, I thought they just kind of let the case slide, kept the money and closed it out. To my surprise, they were still working on it. If you have read this far and are still deciding, just take the first step. Call them up. Get some advice and get some options. They won’t push you to work with them. However, I found out the small fee gave me piece of mind until the case was finally closed. Good luck!

Review
I would really like to thank Foremost, especially David and Shea, for all their hard work. Their communications were always prompt, and they took the time to make sure I understood my options. And, they were able to get results from the IRS extremely quickly! Their efforts were able to reduce my tax debt to just 25% of what I owed, and they set up a very economical pay-back plan for me. The peace of mind was well worth the money. I wish I had contacted them several years ago.

I couldn't do it with out this team .thank you so much. You guys rock!!!”also want to thank nataly bueno for always keeping me updated on my case and Stephen Galgoczy team .

Fortress has been great, and it’s been money well spent. I was in a mess that spanned several tax years, and I’d reached the point where I didn’t realistically know where or how to start unraveling it. Stephen’s team have all been great - from initial outreach to Peter and Karlin, who handled my case. I’m now on a payment plan with the IRS that will save me thousands of dollars overall, and one of the biggest stressors in my life has been resolved.
I wish that I had researched this option several years ago - it was the right way to go for me, and of the three firms I talked to when I did my initial research, I was by far the most comfortable with Tax Fortress. My experience working with them to resolve my case has borne that out. They are reassuring, knowledgeable, and effective. I think their services are priced very reasonably, and for what I ended up saving, it would have been worth it to even if they had cost more.
I would unhesitatingly recommend tax fortress to anyone in a similar situation, and I will be forever grateful to them.

Early this year, I was fed up with the SECOND tax resolution company that promised to help me get a handle of my HIGH six figure tax bill. After going back and forth with this company and constantly supplying them information, they came back with a payment plan that was only $200 less than what I had been originally paying with the first company! Total waste of time and money! I was very disappointed. I did not have the resources to cover this expense and my anxiety was through the roof. I just so happened to run across a review for Fortress that stated they were the best in resolving extremely high tax debt and I almost didn't call but something told me to give it one last chance. I am so glad I did! From the first call to the last, I have never met a better or more professional set of people! Not only professional but funny and prompt! Stephen's team is great! I specifically worked with Karlin and Peter. After just a few phone calls and a few more emails, they handled it! My tax bill has been settled for a FRACTION of what I owed and the monthly payment is well within my means! I am so glad I took the chance this last time and I hope that someone who is feeling the way I was, stressed, anxious and down right miserable sees this review and gives Fortress a call. You won't regret it! This company should not be kept a secret!
Review
Stephen’s team”, Is the best they worked untimely with my company. They were patient and understanding. Most of all they were up front about everything and let us know from the very beginning if they would be able to assist. This team saved our company from closing and in doing so saved jobs for the employees and services for the community. They took us on and saved us thousands of dollars wit our OIC. I highly highly recommend them. Even if you’re out of State such as myself they’ll never let you feel it. If you’re in trouble or facing closure I suggest you call and give them a try. I promise you won’t regret it!

Experienced, efficient and professional- We would not be in business today without Fortress.

Stephen's team took care of me from the first call. I was extremely grateful to find them. I shopped around, speaking with four different tax professionals before settling on Fortress Tax Relief. They were extremely professional, thorough, and thoughtful. I highly recommend them.

I worked with Jeremy for over a year and he was wonderful! He resolved our issue seamlessly and I highly recommend them. They were reasonably price and took so much of the stress and pressure out of the situation and provided great guidance on how to improve our situation.

Recently I had occasion to seek the services of a tax attorney, and after interviewing several I chose Fortress Tax Relief in Bend, OR. I have been extremely happy and relieved with the information and services that “Stephen Galgoczy’s team” of attorneys and paralegals, have provided to me, and would highly recommend them for anyone that found themself in a serious tax situation/dilemma.

I have had Fortress Tax Relief on "retainer" for the past couple years, while my tax issues from many years ago progressed. Fortress had my back every step of the way. First, they were able to get me into an installment agreement that I could afford and not have to come up with a lump sum payment. Then, they were able to keep my installment agreement payment basically the same over two years. Finally, they made sure that the statute of limitations time limit was in play and my outstanding balance was wiped clean. It was like a huge weight being lifted from my shoulders. I am grateful to Fortress for standing by me and being an advocate for me during my tax-challenged times. Well done, Fortress!

The Fortress tax experts David Feldman and Shea Smirl handled my tax issues with little for me to do. They made it easy to stay on top of current taxes and take care of all past taxes. I highly recommend them to anyone who feels overwelmed or threatened by tax problems.

Stephen’s team is a phenomenal one. David Petzinger and Nataly Bueno are kind, professional, caring and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Would highly recommend this company.

I had a long term tax issue that Fortress was able to untangle and put me into an offer in compromise that was incredibly favorable and relieved so much stress.

My previous experience with attorneys has not been the best. I came across Fortress Tax Relief through a mutual friend. My expectations were completely blown away. Mr. Feldman and his team made me feel like I was their only client. They consistently contacted me and kept me in the loop with progress updates. There was not a single minute where I felt that I was not in good hands. My case was resolved quickly and I could not he happier with the result. From this point forward, Fortress Tax Relief will be my go to for any tax concerns I have. I am eager and willing to recommend Mr. Feldman to anyone who needs their taxes handled with sophistication and diligence.

I was contacted by Tax Fortress about 5 years ago with an issue I had. I thought I could handle it. I was wrong. Thank goodness at the time that Joe Mascorella called, I was smart enough to recognize a high quality person from a professional business. I kept Tax Fortress' contact information, and when the issue resurfaced, as they always do, I called Joe. He remembered me. How about that. He handed me to their attorney, David Feldman, who also is a Tax Attorney. Great combination for what he does. He listened to my story. How refreshing to be heard and not brushed off. David said he wanted to do some research and would call me back. Then, he called me back in a couple of days.
Shea Smirl was on this call. Shea is the glue that keeps all the pieces of your case together. He and David asked me more questions. David commented to Shea that they would want to do such and such. This is something that I really respected - their transparency. David then told me to send Shea some documents, which I subsequently did. David and Shea thanked me for my time and we ended the call. Shea became the designated communicator with me. He always contacted me when he said he would, be it phone or email. Shea was thorough with what he had to relay to me and in answering my questions. Shea was professional and patient. Whenever I had a question about something, I'd call or email and within hours Shea responded, every time!
The team there of David and Shea were ready to go to battle for me. That was clear as we discussed my case. It turns out the resolution for my case was straight forward. Still, Tax Fortress handled my case thoroughly and professionally. The reason I went with them was because I needed to know that once my case was resolved, it would not resurface, ever. I got what I wanted with Tax Fortress - professionalism and humanism. Did you ever think you would get that with a Tax Resolution company? You can get it with Tax Fortress. I highly recommend the folks at Tax Fortress.
Sincerely,

This tax service saved my marriage and renewed my personal life

The company was at the point of closing. In fact we were given a specific date to give to customers as our closing date. We were under a tremendous amount of stress. Stephen took total control of our tax issues with the IRS. All we had to do was was submit timely paperwork when requested. He was precise and very professional. The need was understood and we never felt judged. To date we remain opened and fully operating. I highly recommend with thumbs up.
