When it comes to tax resolution and negotiating with government institutions, you can’t afford to mess around – but nor can you afford to get in bed with “sales rooms” masquerading as a professional tax office. There’s simply too much at stake. And there are too many landmines along the path.
My name is Phil Hebner. I am a licensed CPA/EA, and able to represent you in front of the IRS. I have been doing so on behalf of clients (both local and national) now for years.
But what you DON’T need is to be bombarded by ruthless sales pitches and overbearing junk mail simply because your situation was picked up by some database somewhere, and you were targeted as a “hot lead.” Yes, this is how these operations can afford to advertise on national television and radio. They have a sales system, and they work it. Very hard.
Here’s the dirty secret of the national tax relief industry: Almost all of your contact will be with a commissioned sales person. A closer. And their mission is to close YOU.
When people come to our “door” for help with back taxes and penalties and any number of issues with their tax situation, they’re not just looking for someone to negotiate on their behalf and get them through the IRS process.
They’re looking for reliable tax professionals in Santa Cruz County Area who have experience and know-how they can trust, who will do the hard work of resolving tax situations, so they don’t have to.
It can be difficult to know where to begin with tax problems. Unfiled tax returns, missed deadlines, overdue payments, and more. That’s why we’re here!
We’ll provide you with the best possible service, so you can have peace of mind when it comes to your tax situation with the IRS.
