Freedom Tax Relief Marketing Approach for an IRS Tax Problem:
If you are treated politely, and Freedom Tax Relief’s salesperson is informative and helpful, that is a good sign. On the flip side, if they say you need to hire them immediately! No matter what! And now! And they are insisting you complete their paperwork immediately. Do not. I disagree with that notion. You should not hire IRS past due tax help unless there is a good reason. The real first question, after a tax lien is filed, is not whom to hire, but “IF” you should hire anyone to help if you owe back taxes to the IRS.
Let’s inject some common sense into the tax problem if you are looking for IRS help. Read the link above, it will help you decide “IF” you actually need to hire IRS back tax help. No one, including Freedom Tax Relief, should ask you for a credit card number or checking information the first time they call you. That is a telemarketing tactic to force your commitment. Even if you have an IRS emergency caused by an IRS bank levy or seizure.
- Freedom Tax Relief wants you to hire them if you owe back taxes to the IRS. However, do not hire the first tax resolution company you call or calls you about your IRS tax problem; especially if they are trying to pressure/intimidate you into doing that immediately. High pressure sales tactics are being used for a reason.
- When an IRS tax lien (IRS Notice of Federal Tax Lien, IRS Form 668(y)) is filed with the county recorder, it becomes public record. Then Freedom Tax Relief may collect this information and contact businesses and individuals with IRS tax lien filings, or they may not.
Instead, take control of this IRS tax problem on your terms. Here’s how: (3 steps, 10 minutes)
- STEP 1: Before you have a discussion with Freedom Tax Relief, San Mateo, CA read Google & BBB reviews & complaints.
- STEP 2: When you are ready, call Freedom Tax Relief if you are OK with their reviews & complaints and get the name of the person who will represent you and check them out.
- STEP 3: Re-Contact Freedom Tax Relief if you are satisfied with Steps 1 & 2. Then get a Second Opinion on How to handle your IRS Tax Debt. (That’s a hint!)
- All these steps are completed below.
It is valid to be concerned about the IRS’ actions, and to take action yourself, but a knee jerk reaction could cause greater IRS problems down the road. When the IRS goes into enforced collection mode, it’s worth taking a measured approach to fix the tax problem.
STEP 1: Before you have a discussion with Freedom Tax Relief Read Google & BBB Reviews & Complaints:

Freedom Tax Relief’ Better Business Bureau review looks like this:
- When using the BBB to research a tax relief firm, it is probably best to use the BBB as a “de-selector” rather than a reason to hire a tax relief company. The BBB solicits companies to become a member, so it is relatively easy to remain in good standing and keep an “A” letter grade. The nature of the company is better seen by how many complaints they have accumulated over the last 3 years; which is the standard BBB reporting period. A good rule of thumb is no more than one complaint per year, or three complaints total. Size and age of a tax resolution company are irrelevant. It really boils down to how they treated their clients during the reporting period.
- Freedom Tax Relief should have less than three complaints total. There are plenty of tax resolution companies who meet this standard, so don’t settle for less. If you’re having trouble finding a tax resolution company with 3 complaints or less, I’m happy to help. I can be reached at irsbacktaxhelp@gmail.com.
Freedom Tax Relief Reviews & Complaints from Google:
STEP 2: If you are happy with Step 1: Reviews & Complaints, call Freedom Tax Relief
In the first call, tell them you want some general information about the company and the name of the person who will be representing you before you talk to them and then you will return their call. If they refuse and become pushy, threatening, or obnoxious, that is a red flag.
STEP 3: Re-Contact Freedom Tax Relief if you are satisfied with Steps 1 & 2. Then get a Second Opinion on How to handle your IRS Tax Debt. (That’s a hint!)
Knowledge is power, so the second opinion is important. Overall, if you are thinking of hiring them, listen to them and then see what the second opinion says about your tax problems. Of course, we would like to be that second opinion, but as long as you take the time to do a little homework as listed in the first link above, you’ll probably be fine.
