I am so grateful that my husband had been working with Larson Financial and spoke so highly of Michael Plantinga who in all reality was a huge support when my husband passed. Michael was very instrumental in helping us transition the case and gave us so much peace knowing that he would help us with whatever was ahead with the IRS which is a very scary thing. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a very thoughtful, professional and efficient representative to call Larson Financial and ask for Michael. Thank you for all you do!

Larson is an extremely competent firm that does a great job of calming nerves in a very delicate and often frightening process. I trust them fully to seek out the best resolution for my tax related issues. My particular ordeal was not simple, or easy and they kept me enlightened and protected every step of the way. Not done yet but getting there.

Outstanding Tax Relief Firm

After thoroughly researching different tax relief firms and third-party reviews ranking these firms, we selected Larson Tax Relief. Our initial phone interviews were highly informative and immediately reassuring that we had chosen a team with considerable tax expertise and professionalism. Our team, consisting of Rui Pereira, Kate, and Maegan, was outstanding in their understanding of our tax situation, in providing overall client service, and their invaluable assistance in helping us to make critical decisions in a timely manner. Rui is a consummate professional in the field of tax resolution and dealing with IRS tax laws and regulations. His assistant, Kate, was superb in her kind and supportive communication, organization, and thoroughness in handling our tax documents to provide targeted answers to all our questions and concerns. Her assistant, Maegan, was well-informed and very helpful in assisting us with additional document submission that was requested by the IRS in our case. In addition, there was full disclosure of all costs, which were very fair and without junk fees. We loved working with Rui's team and highly recommend them for an exceptional job. We are absolutely satisfied and impressed with everything they did for us. We would choose Larson Tax Relief over and over again, if ever needed.

Excellent Company

When I discovered that I had a problem with my taxes, I began searching for a lawyer. Unfortunately, all the lawyers I spoke to not only failed to provide any guarantee of the outcome but also had a negative outlook. Based on their responses, I was uncertain about proceeding with an appeal, as it seemed like a time and money sink. Then, a friend recommended Larson Tax Relief.
From our very first call, Steve Cizik exhibited a positive attitude and explained the appeal process thoroughly. I regained my confidence to continue fighting through an appeal. As soon as I provided him with all the necessary documents, Steve took charge of the case. He consistently followed up with me and was always prompt in responding to my emails.
I'm grateful to Steve and his team for their assistance with my case. I appreciate their persistence and the excellent communication they maintained throughout the entire process. I wholeheartedly recommend his services. While I hope to avoid any further tax problems, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out again if the need arises

Wonderful company to help with IRS issues

Kate and Rui are amazing to work with. They are super knowledgable about all the IRS rules and regulations. They helped us navigate a very challenging situation and saved us quite a bit of money. Couldn't have asked for a better team.

I gulibly believed the positive reviews.

Medical issues, the Pandemic, our bookkeeper moving out of the country, and lost paper records all combined to create a roughly $20K payroll tax debt to the State. I mistakenly believed that Larson Tax Relief would roll up its sleeves and help find or recreate the missing records in Quickbooks so they could be submitted to the State. Boy, was I wrong. Instead, I received a letter identifying the missing documents, duplicating the list already provided by the State, BUT I did receive periodic calls from Larson hectoring me to file the lost documents. They offered NO help in guiding me through the QB program. No, that's not entirely true; they gave me a cheat sheet for some QB reports, which did not work with my QB 2021 Pro Desktop software. They did talk to the State and reached proposed settlement terms, which did not reduce the total tax debt. However, Larson did not close the deal. They left that to me. When I eventually spoke with the DOR at State, those folks were polite and helped me complete the settlement agreement. I should have worked with the State on my own from the start.

Larson was largely ineffective in resolving this problem. But the crowning insult was that my file was dropped without closure, follow-up, or resolution.

This experience was a complete waste of time and money.

"Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from making bad decisions." ~ Mark Twain

P.S. After Larson's response.

My timeline of events doesn't match up with the one Larson provided.

I was initially told that Oregon DOR did not support 3rd party intervention. When I asked what value Larson could provide, I was told they could negotiate with the DOR if I provided a POA. They sent me docs that clearly said "POA, " which I signed. And I foolishly gave them an ACH for their fee.

What I received in return was as I described above. At no time did they help me recover any records from the DOR or my PC.

Also, Larson never offered to withdraw from my case and to return my ACH funds. Neither ever happened.

In a subsequent conversation with the DOR, I learned that the reason for my $20k tax debt was that I'd had a major increase in revenue in 2020. The year of the Pandemic. This was completely wrong. 2020 was one of the worst years of our business. Business was Down, not Up.

I next searched for a local bookkeeper with Payroll and Quickbooks expertise. A few blocks from our door, I found Dragonfly Tax LLC, a single proprietor bookkeeping service. She did not need access to my PC or QB records. Relied entirely on DOR records.

Within 2 days, she found a mathematical error in our Withholding reconciliation for 2020 and submitted a corrected form.

The DOR accepted the correction and is processing a refund on our account.

Perhaps Larson would have found this error if they had used the POA I provided to review the documents previously filed with the DOR.

Oh, and for the record, Larson has still not offered me any refund.

My experience may be unique

Your mileage may vary.

Dear Eric Dickman,

Firstly, thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We genuinely appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation and hope to provide some resolution.

Upon initiating our services, we promptly realized that the State of Oregon has unique regulations regarding representation from out-of-state offices. This was a surprise to us, as Oregon is the only state we've encountered with this specific requirement. We immediately reached out to you to discuss these limitations, and while we initially proposed discontinuing our services and issuing a full refund, you expressed a desire for us to assist in any way we could. We tried our best within the confines of these regulations, even though we couldn't provide full representation. Our efforts led to the terms of your State resolution, although you had to close the deal.

In regards to Quickbooks, our firm does not specialize in or offer support for Quickbooks. Over our 18-year history, this service has never been offered, as we don’t use Quickbooks ourselves. You suggested we tried to help with your QB but that is definitely not the fact.

We deeply regret any misunderstandings and are truly sorry that we couldn't meet all your expectations. We value the trust you placed in us and hope that this explanation provides clarity. Should you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Warm regards,
Larson Management Team
