The IRS currently contracts with three private collection agencies to work overdue tax accounts: CBE Group, ConServe, and Coast Professional. It also worked with two others, Pioneer Credit Recovery and Performant Recovery, until their contracts lapsed on September 22, 2021. The IRS always sends its own notice first, and none of these five companies can […]
Owing back taxes to the IRS doesn’t disqualify you or your child from federal financial aid. The FAFSA calculates aid from income and assets, not tax debt. There’s one real exception worth knowing about: a federal tax lien can block a Direct PLUS Loan through a separate credit check most families never hear about until […]
Coast Professional is one of three private collection agencies the IRS contracts with. If it’s calling about a tax debt, the IRS sent you Notice CP40 first, so check your mail for it. Coast Professional cannot levy your wages, seize property, or take any enforcement action. Verify the call before you pay anything. Key Takeaways […]
Pioneer Credit Recovery lost its IRS contract in September 2021, so a 2026 call about federal tax debt isn’t legitimate. It still collects for other clients though: the Treasury (including a 2026 batch of pandemic-loan referrals), Hawaii’s courts, and the City of Philadelphia. Figure out which debt it’s calling about before you respond. Key Takeaways […]
Performant Recovery is not one of the IRS’s current private debt collection agencies. Its contract ended in September 2021. If someone calls about a federal tax debt using that name, the call is not happening under an IRS assignment. It may concern a different kind of debt, or it may not be from Performant Recovery […]
A CP40 notice means the IRS assigned your unpaid tax account to one of three private collection agencies: CBE Group, ConServe, or Coast Professional. The IRS sends this notice itself, before the agency calls, and the agency can’t levy, seize property, or take enforcement action. Verify the notice before responding to anyone claiming to be […]
ConServe is one of 3 agencies under IRS contract for private debt collection, along with CBE Group and Coast Professional. If they’re calling about a tax debt, the IRS already mailed you Notice CP40, so check for it. ConServe cannot levy your wages, seize property, or take enforcement action of any kind, so verify the […]
A federal tax lien is the IRS’s legal claim against everything you own once you owe back taxes and the debt goes unpaid. Removing it comes down to 5 paths: full payment, a withdrawal (Form 12277), a release, a discharge (Form 14135), or a subordination (Form 14134). A tax lien release ends the IRS’s claim […]
If you own a small business and you’re shopping for a tax relief company, half the pages you’ll find use the word “accredited” without saying what it means. Some mean a Better Business Bureau listing. Some mean a state license. Some mean nothing verifiable at all. That gap matters more for a business than for […]
IRS code 810, also seen written as 810 code or tax code 810, means the IRS froze your refund. This is a harder stop than a routine processing delay. If you searched something like code 810 on irs transcript to land here, here’s the short version: until a specific release code posts, no refund moves, […]

After numerous failed attempts with other companies, I realized the significance of finding out the hard way about what was going on. Most companies were just telemarketing operators vying for a commission. Thanks to one lucky phone call to Precision Tax, I was able to start my way through years of back taxes that have hampered me financially for years. They were patient and the outcome was more than I could ever ask for. Thank you again.
My offer in compromise turned out to be a long process due to my complicated personal tax situation, however the team at Precision Tax were able to get me the results I had hoped for. Everyone I worked with was top notch. Jinney kept in touch with me throughout the process and was diligent in filing all paperwork on time and helping me settle for a nominal amount (in comparison to my total tax liability). I highly recommend Precision Tax Relief.
In 2019 I called to ask if Precision Tax could help me with my situation. I owed the IRS $24,000 in back taxes. They explained to me what my options were and said they could help. Then over the next year and a half with Covid, switching jobs, and a divorce, they have always been able to answer any question I had and were willing and understanding about the current events. Even letting me place my payments on hold while my life was unstable. Each member of their staff has always been friendly, professional, and compassionate. As for the work they did, they were able to have the IRS settle $24,000 for $1,143! They are the company I refer everyone to if they have any tax needs.
My husband and I are so thankful we found Precision Tax Relief. A year ago we were struggling with 4 years of back taxes, when we reached out to inquire about the services, they explained the process and were there to answer and help with any questions or concerns we would’ve had. Shawna and Jana were amazing and always available to answer our emails or phone calls. They achieved the best possible outcome in our case and it’s been such a relief that the IRS accepted the offer PTR worked for us. We would definitely recommend Precision Tax Relief’s services to anyone seeking to get a fresh start from back taxes/debt.

6 years ago I put myself and my family in a bad situation by not filing my taxes for 7 years. I called on the aid of Precision Tax Relief and they immediately went to work. With the help from Scott Gettis and his team at the time, they were able to stop the IRS from coming after me for all I had. After taking some time and making sure I had my figures correct, we filed all 7 years of missing returns and were able to do an offer in compromise, fulfilling the requirements the IRS put on us, including a 5 year probationary period. Well it has been 5 years and my probation is now over, what a relief! I have again entrusted the help of Precision Tax Relief for my tax filing purposes. I work in the trucking industry and we have a lot of different expenses and write-offs we need to file. So whether it is a standard W2 or a 1099, the team at PTR is more than capable of handling any situation when dealing with the IRS. I have recommended PTR to many friends, as well as family members. If you have any issue whatsoever with the IRS, I can guarantee someone at PTR will go to bat for you, and not to mention, at a very fair price. Thanks again team and thanks for the RELIEF!
I came to Precision Tax Relief in desperation after the IRS threatened to levy my bank accounts for back and unfilled taxes. I was in a hole that was impossible to dig out of, so an Offer In Compromise was the obvious solution. Unfortunately, I came during the worst possible time – in the middle of a divorce and COVID happening with the lockdowns and turmoil that caused. Because of this, the process took much longer – IRS reviews that were supposed to happen in a couple of months took 6 months to a year, etc. This is no fault of Precision Tax; quite the opposite – they stuck with me every step of the way with regular updates, constant communication, and a real sympathetic ear to my divorce issues and financial difficulties. In the end, hundreds of thousands of dollars of tax debt was forgiven, a manageable offer was accepted, and for the first time in over a decade, I don’t have to worry about the IRS breathing down my neck. I want to give a special thank you to Jana, the Tax Specialist assigned to my case and my primary contact throughout the OIC process- she never failed to answer all my silly questions, give advice on the handling of certain assets, and just be an all around nice person to deal with on a regular basis. I could not recommend Precision Tax Relief more to someone struggling to get out of tax debt. They literally changed my life.
After reading the online reviews of Precision Tax Relief and doing my due diligence in researching them, I selected them to help me with my tax liability. My tax liability was close to $50,000, and Amanda Simpson was able to negotiate an amazing settlement for around $2,000. Dealing with the IRS is not pleasant. Amanda and the PTR staff provided professional counseling, advice, and answered every question I had. My matter was delayed because of the Pandemic. In spite of this, Amanda kept in close contact with me through the months of the Pandemic, updated me on the negotiations, kept in touch with the IRS case manager, and continued that work ethic until this matter was resolved. The PTR accounting staff has prepared my tax returns for the last two years. I trust them completely, and if you’re having a difficult time coping with a tax burden, please contact PTR. They are professionals who are extremely knowledgeable in their field, and they will stay by your side until your case has been completely resolved.
A long standing disagreement with the IRS began in 2003 and became more difficult to deal with after years of negotiations while experiencing most of their enforcement tactics to seize my limited assets. In 2018, after 15 years of frustration trying personally to resolve the issues, I was introduced to the legal team at Precision Tax Relief – and they truly brought relief! While I worked with several members of their legal and tax teams I primarily worked with Joshua Taylor who immediately engaged with the IRS Representatives on my behalf. Negotiations continued and various options were evaluated until we settled on an Offer In Compromise and Joshua negotiated with the IRS on the final amount. After the OIC was satisfactorily completed There were still unsettled financial issues regarding refunds of previous garnishments that amounted to a considerable amount of money- at least to me, and Joshua urged patience while he worked tirelessly to recover my “lost” assets. After 18 years I finally found resolve and relief and owe it all to Josh and the rest of his team at Precision Tax Relief.
I worked hard and saved money to buy a house but subprime mortgage crisis and housing market crashed in the fall of 2008. I could not pay mortgages, ended up foreclosing my home. For many years defensed foreclose action and spent lots of legal fees. I could not file IRS tax returns due to financial strain. IRS sent many threatening letters to collect tax, also IRS notified the State Department not to renew my US passport. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t have assets or savings. I could not sleep and was deeply stressed. I began searching for tax debt relief firms, I found Precision Tax Relief (PTR) firm has excellent reviews. I called PTR and spoke with Scott Gettis. From the first call to the final resolution, PTR has been extremely professional and very kind. I work with Melinda Elwell and the entire PTR dream team. They filed all my back taxes and negotiated with IRS. You know what? IRS accepted my Offer in Compromise (OIC). I am very thankful and grateful for the fantastic service and resolution PTR provided. I would highly recommend PTR to anyone facing a tax burden! Precision Tax Relief Company is best of the Best. Thank you!
I had a mess of unfiled tax returns and unorganized receipts along with a mountain of questions. I called because after years of trying to figure this own on my own and so much stress and headache, and Gene was very reassuring and kind when we spoke about my case. I signed a contract the next day and we immediately got to work. Starlynn was SO helpful in preparing my back tax returns! She was very patient with me and was very quick to answer any question whether it was email or phone call. I am so much less stressed knowing I am getting this taken care of and I am so happy that I trusted Gene, Starlynn, and PTR with my case.
