Testimonials

   Lead by its founder, Jeffrey Galante, JG Tax Group has successfully negotiated with the IRS on Collection, Examination and Appeals matters ranging from less complex to very complex corporate tax issues involving millions of dollars. We have an outstanding record of audits results, many resulting in no adjustments being recommended by the IRS. JG Tax Group also has a successful record of negotiating with the IRS to abate penalties including late filing, late paying, and accuracy related penalties. On one particular employment tax case, we were successful in getting the IRS to back off their in assertion that the client owed over $600,000.  

Instead, the client owed nothing to the IRS.

   We strive to put our clients at ease. Our strategy is to first brief the client as to what to expect during the audit, and then actively engage ourselves in the audit, to ensure that it stays on track and doesn't become a fishing expedition. Several clients have said that "the IRS acted differently when we attended the audit session. The IRS Revenue Agents made sure that they complied with their own policies and procedures. The Revenue Agents knew that we were aware of all of the IRS' policies and procedures, and that we would tell them or their managers when they weren't following their proper audit procedures.

Wage Garnishments Lifted

To Whom It May Concern,

     I am writing to express my thanks to JG Tax Group for their help in my tax issue. I found JG with an internet search and never regretted it from the first phone call. When I called, the IRS was going to levy my wages and I was in despair as I had been working with another firm on resolving my tax issue and after nearly 3 years of working on it, was still at ground zero.  JG Tax Group never made me a pie in the sky promise or misrepresented themselves at any part of our working relationship. They stopped my wage garnishment in just a couple days and then we worked on setting up a payment plan. After explaining my situation, it was determined that an Offer In Compromise was not in my best interest at this point. So once the payment plan was set up I decided that I was going to have to file bankruptcy. I found a wonderful lawyer who helped me out, and at the creditors hearing for the chapter 13 filing the IRS said that all of my debt was unsecured (in excess of $150,000) as I didn't have any assets. The IRS released me of any and all debts owed to them. I was shocked and overjoyed. JG Tax Group was honest with me and said that an OIC was not going to work for my situation and that perhaps bankruptcy would be an option. As it turned out, they were very right.

    I had a very challenging experience with another tax resolution firm that left me wondering if I was ever going to get my tax issues resolved. Thanks to the patience and guidance of JG Tax Group, I was able to get the ship upright and now I have a fresh start.

Warmest Regards,

Daniel - taxpayer

Levies Lifted

I hadn’t slept in almost a week, I couldn’t eat and was too stressed to even leave the house.  The IRS was garnishing my wages and levied my bank account, and I had no money to pay my rent and thought I was doomed for sure. By the time I contacted JG Tax Group, I thought there was no hope.  A phone call to their offices and an hour later, I felt like there was a light at the end of the tunnel.  They educated me on the process that led up to my wage garnishment and levy, and how they were going to fix it.  Their office worked very quickly to gather all of my information and get to work. Before the end of the week my garnishment and levy were lifted, and Jeff himself spoke to the IRS and set me up on an affordable payment plan.  I can rest easy again, and I still have a place to live! Thanks Jeff and everyone at JG! You saved my life!

Stress Free Resolutions

JG Tax Group lifted my wage garnishment in three days and also removed the levy placed on my wife’s social security. We owed $37000 and only ended up paying $4400. Thanks to Jeff for his time spent between both us and the IRS, and all of his hard work to get our garnishment and levy stopped. The IRS resolution representative took the time to carefully explain the process to us and also explained what our rights were. They answered every email and phone call, or got back to us immediately.  The level of professionalism and care for what you do made this process stress free. Thank You!

Peace of Mind Now

The IRS was really hassling me about my 3 years of unfiled returns, so I decided to look for a tax attorney. I didn’t end up at JG in the first place, but boy do I wish I had.  I paid $6000 with another tax firm and after 5 months of going back and forth, we were still at square one.  Nothing had been taken care of.  I called every day for a refund and never received it, and still had to prepare and file my delinquent returns.  Luckily, in a search of the Better Business Bureau I found JG Tax Group, and they were A rated! One phone call to their tax specialists, and I was sold.  JG really went to bat for me, stopped the IRS calls and letters and had all of my returns filed for a fraction of the cost that I ate with the other guys.  Thanks for the peace of mind.  You guys are the best!

Dustin - taxpayer

Ease Your Mind

Thank you JG Tax Group for all of your help in settling my debt with the IRS! I owed $22,573, but only ended up paying $1988.  You really eased my mind, the way you kept the IRS off of my back. Also, I wanted to thank for helping me eat and sleep again. I’ll recommend you to anyone I can think of who could possibly use your wonderful help!

5 Years of Tax Returns Completed and Filed with the IRS

No Change Audit Result

 Client was very, very happy with Jeff and the experience he brought to the engagement. I believe in the client's eyes, Jeff significantly exceeded his, the company's, and their attorney's expectations. William - CPA. 

All Penalties Waived

 Jeff came in and helped us during a difficult IRS audit. His efforts concluded in a successful waiving of all penalties. His writing and researching skills are excellent. Jeff was instrumental in bringing the audit to a favorable conclusion.  The client is very appreciative of Jeff's services. Carl  - CPA

Great Rapport with the IRS

   Jeff is very credible and confident in his knowledge of the procedures necessary during an IRS audit, but comes across as very personable with the Revenue Agent. He very quickly established a great rapport. This situation has been unique in that the client is now a shell company and the IRS audit procedure was a bit different. Jeff has been very pragmatic and did an excellent job of working with the Revenue Agent in determining the appropriate audit plan. Denise - CPA

Excellent Knowledge of IRS Policies and Procedures

   Jeff very effectively consulted on a rather complex IRS Appeals issue and had great recommendations for the client. Jeff had an excellent knowledge of the IRS Appeals process and how to navigate it effectively. I would consider it a privilege to work with Jeff again. Dennis - business owner

IRS Fully Conceded Their Position

   Jeff helped me with an IRS Revenue Agent's proposed assessment Appeals hearing. He was well prepared. He understood the issue well. He was very well versed in the background case law and related statute and applicable regulations. He was very successful in convincing the Appeals Officer that the taxpayer's position was correct. Robert - CPA. 

No Change Result

   Jeff became involved in this client's case when the IRS Revenue Agent declined to negotiate a settlement after reviewing our protest letter. It was suggested that this case would be perfect for the Appeals Fast Track Mediation process, which is Jeff's specialty.  After arranging the Fast Track conference with the IRS and sharing our strategy with the IRS and client, the IRS called shortly before the conference to fully concede and to say that they would issue a no change report. C J. - CPA

Jeff's IRS Experience was Invaluable

   Jeff's experience and insight were invaluable in guiding our internal team and client through the Appeals Mediation process. He communicated effectively and enabled us to understand the process and make sound recommendations to the client. For example, he was able to obtain statistical information to show the number of cases that used an external mediator and to walk the client through the pros and cons of an external mediator. Also, he was able to provide insight into the choice of an Appeals mediator due to his intimate knowledge of the people and institution. [This case resulted in a successful post-Appeals mediation, and the client was very happy with the result.] Larry CPA

Emergency Relief Team solved client out of the United State

   We recently received a very nice letter from a client who lives in Poland, has a part-time residence in Florida and has businesses in both places who had direct dealings with our Emergency Relief Team.  Janusz came to us because the IRS had said that his company owed employment taxes from several years. However, Janusz said that he didn't pay any salaries during those tax periods, and he couldn't understand why the IRS was sending him threatening letters.  When JG Tax Group got involved, the IRS was threatening to levy or seize some of the company's assets. 

   Janusz wrote: Thank you very much for helping me. JG Tax Group worked quickly and efficiently by within one business day first stopping the IRS collection actions, and then working with me to file the necessary paperwork with the IRS to resolve my tax problem. Now instead of getting threatening letters from the IRS telling me that they're going to take my property, I'm now getting a refund. Thank you for defending me before the IRS. I knew that the IRS was wrong, but I didn't have the courage to confront them. I'm very happy that you didn't have the same fear and was able to tell the IRS that they were wrong and got back the money the IRS owed me.

   JG Tax Group's Emergency Relief Team stopped the IRS' seizure action in one day and then provided to the IRS the tax returns they needed to solve the problem. Before JG Tax Group was asked to help, Janusz was being harassed by the IRS for almost a year. Within about a month, JG Tax Group was able to solve the problem.

Here are some Wage Garnishment Release success stories:

   Don from Texas contacted us on October 23rd at 2pm with a wage garnishment in effect. Our ERT contacted the IRS and confirmed his 2005 and 2006 tax returns were not filed. With a questionnaire sent to Don and his income documents retrieved from the IRS, the ERT was able to file his returns and put him back in compliance with the IRS via fax. Our ERT was then able to procure a wage garnishment release by October 27th at 10am.

   Rick from Maryland contacted us on October 24th at 9am. By 12pm, the ERT learned his 2004 and 2005 tax returns were not filed. Rick's income documents were retrieved from the IRS and with our questionnaire, the ERT then filed his taxes. By October 27th, his wage garnishment was also released.

   You received a notice of "Intent to Levy" 30 days ago and you forgot about it or ignored it. Now, it's payday; expecting a check, you open the envelope and find that the IRS has taken most of your money. What's left is not enough to pay the rent, car payment, buy groceries, or pay the rest of the bills. This action will continue on every check due to you, until the tax owed is paid in full.

   Now you're in big financial trouble. No matter how hard you plead with your employer, they can't give you your money. Once a wage garnishment is filed with your employer, your employer is required by law to collect a large percentage of each of your paychecks.

   We are regularly retained to negotiate the release of IRS wage garnishments. Our extensive experience and our inside knowledge of the IRS gives us the ability to stop wage garnishments in 2-3 business days. This allows our clients to begin to receive their full wages, but it is not a permanent solution; once our clients' wages have been restored, the problem with the IRS still has to be addressed.

   JG Tax Group will address the IRS tax problems for our clients by negotiating with the IRS for the best possible solution, which may be one of the following:

   An Offer in Compromise, an affordable payment plan, or to have our client declared as Currently Not Collectible with the IRS. Each one of our clients have different and complex tax problems. We treat each client as an individual, so there is no one solution for every client. We will find an affordable and permanent solution to your IRS problem.
