I am a big believer in the idea that when dealing with sensitive issues such as owing taxes to the state or local government, it is best to chose a representative who lives in, and is accountable to, your local community.
The problem is that some of these national hard-sell tax resolution sweat shops like to PRETEND that they are local, and or have local offices as a last ditch effort to snap up any potential clients who value obtaining services locally, and seek our local providers.
The worst offender of this type of deceptive tactic is a company called “Instant Tax Attorney” or “Instant Tax Solutions” (I LITERALLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD WHEN I SAW THAT SOME OF THEIR LISTED LOCATIONS ARE ACTUALLY CHINESE RESTAURANTS 😂)
Those guys are in Idaho, I believe. But they pretend they are everywhere (see below)
