Dana Stahl

After a 6 month battle with the IRS regarding a small filing error with big money consequences, I finally contacted TaxCure professionals. Dana not only actually replied to me, he provided a free 30-minute consultation just to listen to the context and understand how he could support. It was clear that he truly wanted to help right an IRS wrong, and on top of the added complexity of being a US citizen living abroad. Truly grateful that he actually replied, and for the hope and transparency that he provided regarding my case situation.

The last 3 or more years have been extremely difficult for me. At the time we met it was during Covid, I was selling a business, deciding whether to retire or buy another company, then starting a business and dealing with the enormous mistake I felt the IRS had made on my taxes. For example, the first letter I received the IRS stated I owed them over $400,000. I know enough to know the IRS doesn’t have to be right, but they do have to be responded too.

Therefore, I engaged my accountant who was involved in creating this nightmare for me. He wrote a response, and my 4-year journey with the IRS began. When that failed, I reached out to a friend who is a Tax Attorney. He reviewed my documents, a few tax returns and he too put together a response letter for me. The IRS responded that I still needed to pay over $150,000. My friend said he was not the person to use to take the IRS head on, but he had a guy. His “guy” never called me back. During all of this it was ridiculous how many solicitation – letters, emails, and phone calls I received from firms wanting to represent me in this matter. They all made huge promises, for a nice fee to take care of this. Then at the height of my feeling powerless against the IRS and just as all hope was leaving me, I was referred you.

You will never know how much I appreciate your tenacity and knowledge with resolving this issue. You were the only one I contacted, including my accountant, who found out why the IRS was making their claims. This led us to correcting the mistakes and positioned us much better for getting to a positive conclusion. Also, your knowledge of the inner workings of the IRS and my rights as a taxpayer I found to be extremely comforting and gave me confidence we were going to get the result we wanted.

When we finally arrived at the place where I felt was proper and I wrote the check for the final amount, I felt this huge burden lift off me. You must know I believe you are the only reason I was able to get the IRS off of my back and out of my affairs.
