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.

We're so glad you found us! ***** is just one of our highly experienced tax relief attorneys who fight for their clients every day, and who go the extra mile when the going gets tough. We are fortunate to have an outstanding staff across the board, which can and does often make the difference in sink or swim situations such as yours. Thank you for your business and your review!

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.

Providing caring and outstanding service along with fantastic results is what we strive for with each and every one of our clients. And making clients happy makes us happy. Thank you for putting your trust in Fortress Tax Relief!

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!

Dear Fortress Tax Relief,I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for the outstanding service I received from Fortress Tax Relief, specifically from ***** and ******.Having carried a significant tax burden and feeling uncertain regarding the complexities of negotiating with the **** I was fortunate to have enlisted the services of Fortress Tax Relief. From the beginning to the resolution of my tax situation, ***** and ****** were not only highly responsive but also exhibited a remarkable level of professionalism, friendliness, and expertise that made the entire process smooth and manageable for me.Their guidance and support were instrumental in navigating through what seemed like a daunting ordeal, and I believe I would have faced insurmountable hurdles without their assistance. I truly believe that the dedication and commitment shown by ***** and ****** are exemplary, and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of tax ************************* conclusion, I wholeheartedly vouch for Fortress Tax Relief and confidently convey that anyone seeking their assistance will be in excellent hands. Thank you, ***** and ******, for your exceptional service and unwavering support.Warm regards,******* *.

You are correct that simply navigating the *** bureaucracy without proper guidance can be a daunting ordeal. Getting the *** to agree to reasonable terms is a whole different story. We're very fortunate to have outstanding tax pros such as ***** and ****** on our staff, who take the pain out of the process and get superb results. We're also fortunate to have great clients, like you. Thank you for putting your trust in Fortress Tax Relief!

I am very fortunate to have found Fortress Tax Relief to assist me in resolving my tax issue with the **** Initially the *** sent me a tax bill for a significant amount of money owed which I tried to solve myself unsuccessfully. Fortress was able to resolve all of those tax issues for me.

So glad we were able to help you!  Thank you!

Fortress is the real deal. *** worked with ***************************** for several years and he was absolutely terrific. My tax situation was difficult to resolve , but he brought his experience and knowledge with him to help me negotiate a settlement with the *** and a satisfactory offer in compromise, all with incredible patience. I highly recommend ***** and his team at Fortress to help you resolve any tax issues you may have.

Fortress remains the only significant national tax relief company where all cases are handled by niche tax attorneys who do nothing but tax relief. Tax relief is not accounting. Yet the other firms use Enrolled Agents which are like low-level CPAs. If you owe, you have rights. If they aren't defended, they may get trampled. If you don't fix it, the government will take your money, wages, and maybe even seize assets by force. Would anyone in their right mind have an accountant represent them if they were on trial for murder?  Not much different here. Forbes has us #1 for complex tax issues. Investopedia has us #1 for large tax debts. We are most definitely the "real deal" as you say. Thank you for putting your trust in our team. We appreciate you!
