Total Tax, Inc Avis 298

It has been both a pleasure and great relief that we found Total Tax to help with our overwhelming tax situation.
Due to aging and some medical concerns, we found ourselves owing $50,000.00 +, in late taxes and fees.
With the diligent help from Steve Fuqua, Michael Bohn, Lorraine, Kat, Donna, Angela and all the staff we were able to relax and feel confident we were in good hands.
With all their hours of hard work and expertise, they got our tax bill reduced to $6,000 payable through a payment plan.
We will forever be grateful and thankful for their time, skills and attentiveness. We felt and still feel we were treated with the utmost respect and kindness.
At anytime we could call and we were offered a detailed explanation for each process and incredible help with paperwork.
They will continue to be our source for any future tax returns.

I contacted Total Tax after seeing several positive reviews on-line. My husband has been ill & we had issues with filing and owing back taxes for several years. Total tax was amazing!
Steve Fuqua was understanding & replaced my fear and embarrassment with his kindness and extreme knowledge. He and his team walked me through the process of filing both federal & state taxes. They were extremely patient and kind throughout the process. Steve, Lorraine, and Angela made the entire process much easier and not so stressful. Thanks to Total Tax we are now on track with a manageable payment plan!

Angie is an angel sent from heaven! I had hired a company last year to do my back taxes. First i was gonna owe 14K and then 19K! I fired them and Angie straightened out this absolute mess. I owe a tiny fraction of what I thought I was going to owe. She is absolutely incredible, professional, patient and knows her way around books. Highly recommend!!

The Total Tax team walked by my side through a 4.5 yr ordeal with the IRS.
They were never demeaning and the outcome is finally a celebration.
I could not have represented myself without their guidance and tenacity.

I honestly do not understand some of the reviews I have read. I have not experienced any negatives as of date.

The team at Total Tax, Inc. Have been knowledgeable, responsive and friendly.

They have guided me every step of the way.

I can’t recommend TotalTax enough for their exceptional service in helping me manage my tax liabilities. Over the past two years, they have been instrumental in getting my taxes in order and setting up a manageable payment plan. Thanks to their expertise, I have been able to catch up and pay off about $8,000 in owed state taxes and am now completely in the clear for state taxes.

Steve Fuqua, my dedicated rep at TotalTax, has gone above and beyond to assist me, especially when the IRS suspended my payment plan due to an error in my 2023 taxes. This mistake caused the IRS to demand more than I could afford, despite my consistent on-time payments. The situation quickly escalated, and I was at risk of liens and wage garnishment.

Steve stepped in at the last minute and made the process easy and stress-free. He corrected the mistake, negotiated with the IRS, and got my payment plan back on track. Without his intervention, I wouldn’t have been able to resolve the issue on my own.

As someone who earns a high income but is not wealthy enough to benefit from significant tax breaks, I often feel the burden of heavy taxes. I don’t qualify for low-income benefits, yet I don’t have the financial advantages that come with significant wealth. TotalTax understands this unique position and has provided tailored support that has made a world of difference.

Thanks to their help, I have made substantial progress on my federal taxes and am on track to be completely debt-free within the year. TotalTax and Steve Fuqua have given me peace of mind and control over my financial future. If you’re in a similar situation, where you earn a good income but don’t have the tax benefits that come with wealth, I highly recommend reaching out to TotalTax.

Forget the other reviews unless they have money to spend. Do not and I repeat do not use total tax tax service, total tax pros for any of your tax preparation. You can consider half of your refund as payment to them. And you can count on paying at least $150 to $250 for a refund less than $100.

I have been trying to get my 2022 return done for several years now. I have paid several thousand dollars. They are not responding to my emails or requests. I would not hire them. These people are scam artists.

TotalTax is amazing. This is not your everyday CPA / tax firm. They know exactly who to call at the IRS to get issues sorted out FAST. I am amazed at their quality, speed, and accuracy of tax work. This is the go-to place for professional tax services.

I gotta say I was really pessimistic about Total Tax being able to help me with my tax situation. After working with them for over a year, I would say they are a top tier company and really put the effort in to get you a successful resolution. Shout out to Mark at Total Tax. You and the rest of the team over there were a big help. Thank you all!!!!

Excellent service. Great follow through.

I hired Total Tax back from 2011 they have been so professional at what they do. I am so pleased with the work with Mark and all staff And my concerns was always addressed there was also courteous I would recommend anyone to the firm thank you so much

I hired Total Tax to handle my IRS back taxes and was totally pleased with the results. Everytime I called the office there was someone there to answer the phone, or setup a call back to address my concerns, unlike some of the other companies I dealt with in the past. If I need anything else as far as Taxes go they will be my first call

Total Tax has been an awesome company to work with. Everyone there has been extremely helpful. Especially Lorraine. She has been in my corner from the beginning. So kudos to her and the rest of the staff at Total Tax.

The Team at Total Tax has been nothing less than professional, extremely knowledgeable, exceedingly patient and most importantly, each and every one of them exhibit genuine care. From the first call I made to Total Tax, these professionals were able to replace my fear and embarrassment to feelings of relief with light at the end of the tunnel...and I mean a bright light! This is the only way I know how to thank them.

I honestly couldn't be happier with the service we received. We seriously had gotten ourselves into a dilemma. I reached out to SO many different firms only to either never hear from them or be completely ghosted. I was hesitant, but I did my research and decided we were just going to go with Total Tax. From the moment I had my first conversation with Nick, I knew I had made the right decision. Not only was I 100% confident that they knew what they were doing, they really calmed all of my anxiety. Communication was outstanding! 10-years of back taxes were handled timely. A huge weight was lifted off our shoulders. Thank you, Steve, Angela, and Shane!

Everyone was patient in working with me and very helpful answering all of my Questions. With Total Tax's experience, I was able to resolve my past tax situation. Thank you Total Tax for all your help!

They are truly professional and courteous. The entire staff I have spoken with and very satisfied with my experience and help from Total Tax. Mark Walstrom guaranteed results and I couldn't be happier. I am going to do business with Total Tax again and in the future. Much Appreciation to Mark Walstrom and the staff. Thank you all for handling my problem quickly and professionally.

I contacted total tax thinking my deceased mother had 4 years of income tax returns. We agreed to a term in an amount, only to find out that she didn't have 4 years but only two so they told me they would renegotiate the price and they would go ahead and take care of everything. Including getting the retirement form of a W-2 as well as the social security information for income to prepare taxes. When I got the amended bill, I thought that it said that all I was going to pay was $800. I thought well that's reasonable for 2 years of income taxes. I was charged $1,200! Only to have a standard deduction text preparation. They took one full year of tax returns leaving me with only one and a half years which was not what I was expecting when I negotiated them preparing my bill. They told me they sent me everything I needed that all I needed to do was sign and mail the tax forms. As soon as I downloaded them and printed them, I mailed them. I got them two weeks ago only to find out that there were no w-2s or retirement information and that I needed a form that wasn't included. All I can say is unless you've got some complicated tax returns and have a whole bunch of interest that you're trying to protect, then use them. But if you have simple tax issues that need to be filed do it yourself! Because I feel like I got completely ripped off by these people! They told me I was going to be in good hands and that they would take care of everything and make sure I got the most that they could get for my returns. But what they really did was take half of my returns just for filling out a stupid TurboTax type program where you just fill in the blanks. It probably took them all a 20 minutes!

I'm really disappointed with after speaking with Total Tax reps that it has been more than 2+ years and still no resolve solutions. When I ask about updates, their response is IRS has not responded. I now have paid more money than just pay what the IRS has on their website. Frustrated to be used by a company that can't fulfill their obligations.
