Review
In 2016, I opened up a business with a partner, but everything was put in my name. The business did very well before going under due to this partner, and I was left cleaning up the mess. I owed over $30k in federal taxes due to the income of it and over $5k in CA state taxes. I had no idea where to begin in filing this tax return and for the years after.
Anthony spent a lot of time with me going over the business, going over receipts for business expenses, etc... to get the tax due down to the best possible amount. He then prepared an offer in compromise to the IRS for me and helped me to get an installment plan started to CA for state taxes.
The offer in compromise was accepted by the IRS and I ended up paying less than half of what I originally owed. The installment plan was granted by CA state. This was such a huge weight off of my shoulders.
I could never have done this without Anthony. He was very patient with me, as I've never been in a situation like this. I remember sending a lot of texts, emails, phone calls to which Anthony was always very responsive and was able to talk me through anything I had questions on.
Just recently (in 2022), I got notice from the IRS for a refund due to me for 2020 taxes. I was unsure of this and how it affected my offer in compromise, so I sent Anthony an email. Within 24 hours, he had replied and was able to check my account and let me know that the refund was in fact, due to me.
I have full trust in Anthony and have referred many of my friends and acquaintances to him. He is very experienced in personal and business tax returns.
