I'm very happy with the tax resolution services provided by Bert Salazar and Gables Tax Planning Group, LLC. He effectively addressed my needs regarding back IRS filings, back taxes, and setting up a payment plan. His systematic communication, especially his clear explanations and diligent weekly updates via a secure portal, has been a real asset. I highly recommend Bert Salazar and his firm.
