$17,000 Wasted – Don’t Fall for Tax Group Center’s Empty Promises

I Paid $17,000 and Got Nothing—Please Don’t Make the Same Mistake
If you're considering Tax Group Center (TGC), I urge you to pause and read this first.
Back in 2021, I got a letter from the IRS saying I owed taxes for 2019. It was overwhelming. I searched for help online, and TGC showed up. They called me right away, sounded confident, and promised they could lower what I owed through negotiation with the IRS.
That gave me hope—so I signed on and paid them $17,000.
But here's the truth: they did nothing to reduce my tax debt. I still owe the same amount today.
All TGC did was submit a Power of Attorney form, file a few years of tax returns, and calculate what I owed—something any basic tax software could do. They promised bookkeeping support and had me send over all my sole proprietor transactions. In the end, I had to do it all myself using QuickBooks.
Once they had my money, they became nearly impossible to reach. No updates. No progress. If I managed to speak to someone, they gave vague excuses like, “We’re working on your case.”
Even worse, one of their managers applied for loans in my name without asking me—causing hard credit inquiries and lowering my credit score. When those loans were denied, she hung up and never called back. This happened three times.
I requested a refund for the services they never performed. It’s been months. No response. No resolution. Not even an apology.
To this day—four years later—I’ve still never spoken to a licensed attorney, despite that being part of what I paid for.
Please learn from my experience. TGC will take your money quickly but deliver nothing in return. You're far better off speaking directly with the IRS to set up a payment plan or consulting a local, licensed tax professional. Don’t fall for their pitch the way I did.
