    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. ****** knowledge of tax law was life changing for me. This is a stressful process, and his staff, led by *****, provided terrific support that lessened any anxiety. Thanks to ******* for running an exemplary company!

    Working with the staff at Fortress was great, they were very professional and immediately calmed our fears. We worked with ***** and ****** and they were able to get us on the right track and they did a magnificent job working with the *** on our behalf. I would highly recommend Fortress.

    Fortress surprised usThe COVID pandemic, which compromised my business, along with family illness and loved ones passing in both my and my wifes families, caused us to get behind in paying our *** taxes.While my wife was away caring for her brother, I received a certified letter/summons from the *** mandating that I attend a hearing in CT with all returns/paperwork completed and with full payment of back taxes. I phoned **** They werent interested in ********** 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 didnt 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 *** hearing.***** ******* and the team at Fortress came through for us in unimaginable ways, repeatedly and consistently. I had one call from the *** right after contracting with Fortress. *** was brutal, stating that I needed to shut my mouth and listen when I attempted to explain that Id contracted with Fortress.Fortress protected us from the **** ***** ******* kept them from levying, which *** repeatedly threatened via mail. We were able to settle with ****** help. Fortress provided a safety net which allowed us to go on with our lives w/out threats and pressure from the *** and we are most grateful. Fortress is very deserving of this FIVE-STAR review. They didnt 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 ***** ******* and his team.

    We're so glad you found us! Generally speaking, the tax relief firms that advertise heavily spend so much money on advertising, that there is very little left over to staff quality people who do the actual work of resolving the tax debt. Fortress has a very small budget for advertising, and a very large budget to hire and retain the best tax relief attorneys (not accountants like our competitors use), and that is why ****** has us at #1 for complex tax issues and why we get the incredible results that we get, as demonstrated with your case. Thank you for putting your trust in Fortress and for taking the time to write such a thoughtful 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 *** decided that now would be the best time to demand payment. Might as well kick me when Im 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. ***** ******* and his assistant, *****, 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 *** initially was demanding. I still owe a lot of money and am still struggling with income, but without ***** and ****** help, the situation would be far far worse. ***** 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 shouldnt have. ***** helped get to the bottom of their error in conjunction with the *** agent and thankfully stopped the wrongly garnishments, money I really could have used all that time (and now!). Both ***** and ***** 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 cant recommend Fortress enough.

    Amazing service!!! I had ***** *******, work on my case with the ***. The *** wanted me to pay $5000 a month for 4 months to pay off my tax debt. ***** negotiated $300 payments! ***** 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.

    We're delighted to hear how happy you were with our services, and the results speak for themselves. What you wrote captures the reason why it is very often wise to bring in an experienced and knowledgeable tax relief attorney when dealing with a large tax debt. The *** very often makes unreasonable demands. Our attorneys know your rights as a taxpayer inside and out, and they know how to get you the best terms to which you are entitled under law. In your case, that's an extra $4,700/mo for things like food and a roof over your head. Thank you for your review. Our staff loved working with you!

    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 *** 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.

    I cant say enough good things about Fortress and ***** and ****. 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 *** field officer involved that was VERY aggressive, even going as far as to levy my paycheck. ***** not only got that released but he structured a payment arrangement that I could handle. ***** 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 ***** and **** you guys are awesome.

    We love going to bat for our clients! Nearly all clients who bring us on before the *** gets to the zapping paychecks and bank accounts phase will never experience such nightmares. For those unlucky enough to endure the stress and havoc of having their paychecks or bank accounts levied (or worse), we have an outstanding track record of rectifying the situation, making sure it never happens again, and securing terms that our clients can comfortably manage. We're so glad we were able to help you with this and thank you for putting your trust in Fortress Tax Relief!

    Ive been working with ***** and ****** at Fortress to resolve my tax nightmare. I was at my last resort when researching tax attorneys and luckily went with Fortress. My situation had been an almost decade-long stress for me that I felt had no solution. It is such a relief it is to finally have someone in my corner who could explain to me what happened and what steps to take moving forward. I didnt know what caused the issue in the first place and it was so frustrating... I thought it was possibly a mistake that could be corrected but had no idea how to even start. ***** and ****** have guided me all throughout this process and are responsive whenever I have questions. I would happily recommend Fortress Tax Relief; I am so glad I finally got a professional involved-- I just wish I had done it sooner!

    Our staff's expertise in finding solutions to serious tax problems, even when there appears to be none, is exactly why ****** has us ranked #1 in the United States for Complex Tax Issues (hint: this means we crush resolving more simple tax issues with our eyes closed and hands tied behind our backs). We're so glad you found us, and we thank you for your kind words. ***** and ****** enjoyed working with you and we wish you the best!
