Anthem Tax Services is a mid-sized firm that offers a full range of tax relief services. Since 2017 the company has helped thousands of people in tax trouble with the IRS. Anthem particularly excels in scope of services offered and customer service as online customer feedback is universally positive. Anthem mentions a 100% money-back guarantee: “If we don’t save you money or rework your payments, you get your money back – guaranteed.” If clients don't find themselves in a better position than when they started working with the company, they'll receive the money they've paid back. Most similar services tend not to offer this level of guarantee.

Services Offered - 5 / 5

Anthem Tax Services provides a full menu of tax relief services to help clients get out from under the yoke of tax debt. The company lists some pretty impressive settlements online where clients have only had to pay a tiny fraction of what they owed. While most tax relief services do this, Anthem also provides the actual documentation from the IRS on their site as well.

Services offered include offers in compromise, penalty abatement, installment agreements, unfixed returns, garnishment and levy release, audit representation, corporate tax preparation, and bookkeeping. Additionally, the company can provide individual state tax relief services.

I had the pleasure of speaking to Sam Burzynski with Anthem & by the time I got to him I was very upset! He was professional, understanding and compassionate. He explained everything to me in detail and calmed my anxiety about my situation. We got it handled and I am very happy! Thank you Anthem Tax Services and thank you for employees like Sam! 5 star service!

I engaged ATS in 2019 to negotiate a payment plan on my behalf. They also told me they would file my 2020, 2021 and 2022 tax returns for me. After four years and $5,000 and multiple requests to see any sort of verifiable evidence that they've done something, anything on my behalf, I not only find out my returns have not been filed -- although I was ensured many times that they have -- but the IRS has flagged my 2021 return for identity fraud. ATS tells me that now I have to call the IRS and sort it out myself. They also told me that the reason those returns haven't been filed -- although I was told many times that they have -- was my fault. They've spent four years stringing me along,... Read More

I was very impressed with a very quick response to my online request and the time spent by a highly qualified representative (David Cruz) to listen and understand my complicated situation and provide me with various options to deal with and follow up with IRS. All this without expecting any paid service with the company. The advice I received was very helpful and comforting. Thank you so much David for your time and help! I will not hesitate for a moment to seek out services from David in future.

David Cruz of Anthem Tax Service was fantastic, he spoke to me for about an hour late one Friday night and said he would do some research before charging me anything. He sent me a form to sign and 2 business later he got back to me with good news. He didn't charge me any fee.

I agreed with this past clients who gave Anthem a 1 star. I'm a tax victim who gave this company $7500 to help with our tax problems. The end result was bad. They got us a non streamlined payment plan with the IRS that included interest and penalties and a tax lien. I already had a tax lien from 2011 you will think they help you not get another one on my tax record. Make matter short they promised to reduce your tax balance and they didn't do that either. This company will keep in contact with you until your balance is paid in full without doing nothing about your case? They keep you in the dark on your case. Had 5 case manager for 21 months. Had to hunt them down to find out what's is... Read More

I am extremely grateful to Anthem Tax Services for their kind assistance; David Cruz was helpful, supportive, and knowledgeable. He resolved my situation/query quickly and efficiently, and provided updates/followups throughout. David was personable and professional, polite and extremely skilled at his job. I recommend Anthem Tax Service unreservedly, and by all means, please ask for David Cruz; he knows what he is doing, and he does it very well.

Anthem Tax is interested in selling the idea of relief and protection by professionals from the IRS but they cannot do either. They did nothing after taking our money except delay and ignore us until we owe nearly double what it was when we hired them for $3200. They tried last year, at over 2 years on the case to get us to sign a settlement agreement to pay the full amount, no penalty abatement or anything. Nothing at all was done to resolve the problems we have with the audits, like a 1099 that is not ours for one year, and the auditor not using our 1040X for the second year. Our enrolled agent was completely unaware of either of these situations when we went to fire them in February... Read More

This was the best call I ever made. Call it now if you have tax debt hanging over your head every time you think of investing in a home, property, stock market, or anything else. Within a matter of minutes I was so relieved to speak to an Anthem advocate and know I was in capable hands. I can't say enough about how positive and free I felt after putting off the call for a year after years of tax nightmares. Anthem is the way to go!

So far they have been great. Sam has been very understanding and easy to get a hold of. Whenever I have a question they are Quick to return a phone call. I would recommend them to anyone in need.

Be very careful here people. They asked for 1500.00, guaranteed results All they did was set up a payment plan, which your account, bookkeeper, or CPA can do for 250-300 month. I was told that their attorneys were going to negotiate on my behalf. After 4 month, I received another 300plus interest bill from the IRS. Wen I called the number on the IRS bill, I asked her hasn't Anthem Tax been negotiating on my behalf. She NO, no one has negotiated on your behalf. When I finally called Anthem to find out what the hell was going on, I was told the attorney would be calling me. The attorned that called said " oh I just got your case and it looks like I will need to figure our how much you... Read More

Save your money as this company does a terrible job. They said the IRS had agreed to an installment plan but the IRS says the agreement was never finalized. I reached out to Anthem and they said they would help if I paid more money, which I refused and now they won't return my phone calls or emails. They also are not honoring their 100% money back guarantee. SCAM.

I contacted Anthem Tax Service (ATS) over 18 months ago. After speaking with Greg he guaranteed that they would save me at least the cost of the program of $4500. Initially I had great hopes, but after they kept asking for the same Power of Attorney 5 times from 5 different people I started to raise flags. My account was handed off to 5 different people and none of them apparently communicate with the previous. After 18 months I have still yet to see them reduce my tax liability by 1 PENNY! And don't fall for their 100% guarantee, this is ABSOLUTEY bogus as well! I have reached out to over 5 people at ATS and have yet to receive a response after 2 weeks! THIS IS A SCAM!! Save your...

Anthem tax services definitely got it done for me Misty Cicero was such a great help. Thank you. Also would like to thank Kesha Dawson. I’m finally free of all my tax problems.

I'd like to leave a review specifically for Misty Cicero. I wasn't in debt super deep like some may be, but I was enough to where I felt that I needed to do something about it as I couldn't get it paid in one lump sum payment and wanted help on the total. She was hands down the best customer service rep I've dealt with. Took the time to thoroughly listen to my situation, reviewed everything and followed up with appropriate solution options. Solutions that obviously got me out of debt! I couldn't be happier. Anthem and Misty, thank you for your assistance.

My tax situation was not able to be resolved through Anthem however, i worked with Misty to honor my 100% money back guarantee. She has been wonderful to work with. Everyone there is helpful and friendly and they will refund your money if your situation cannot be resolved.

In our initial call they offered me a money back guarantee. Their sales rep hounded me with endless phone calls. When i asked for the service agreement, he sent it over to me with no mention of a money back guarantee. I asked him to put it in the agreement, and he said he would talk to the finance department. Guess what? I never heard from him again. If this is considered the best tax relief company, you can only imagine the rest.

I looked up Anthem Tax Services and I was blessed to be introduced to David Cruz who helped me process my last 10 years of filings. I unfortunately did not have the money to pay for the fee up front. That's when I was introduced to Christian Gomez who helped me get financed which covered my whole fee with zero due up front! They then were able to get me caught up and bring me current and eligible and I WAS ABLE TO GET MY STIMULUS CHECK!! Thank you Anthem Tax Services, and especially thank you David Cruz and Christian Gomez.

Alex Morisset and everybody at Anthem Tax Services are incredible. They helped me resolve my issue with the I.R.S. to everybody's satisfaction. They were helpful, personable and professional. They were patient beyond what I had expected. They walked me through step by step without ever making me feel like I was stupid. Thank you Alex, Adam and Patty for all your hard work. I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family.

Anthem has changed my life!!! I’m a Gulf War Vet who build a beautiful Gold’s Gym and family for over 20yrs. A liberal over aggressive DA sued my company and self for 75,000,00.00 for civil compliance issues with my agreements font size in two areas. Ultimate my family lost its company and my America dream as a Pro Athlete in the sport of fitness. In losing my company the Trustee dumped over 250,000.00 in tax liabilities. Anthem took full control of the situation and my trama with the most professional attorneys and staff. After losing everything they were able to settle for only 500$. I was absolutely blown away and a huge burden was lifted from my life. I praise the... Read More

Attorney Minji Kim of Anthem Tax Services did an excellent job working with me and the IRS in resolving my tax debt. Although it was a very stressful time, she made the process easy while educating me along the way with her knowledge and experience.
