This page will explain what the Better Business Bureau is and how it can help you locate a reputable tax resolution firm.

What Is the BBB?

Using the grading scale of the BBB will help you determine which tax resolution company you can trust. The BBB also provides an explanation of its grade, as well as the number of complaints the tax resolution business has received in recent years.

How the BBB Determines a Business' Grade

• Fraud Prevention
• Complaints and Dispute Resolution
• Truth-in-Advertising
• Consumer and Business Education
• Wise Giving Charity Reports
• Charity Accountability and Effectiveness Education

In recent years, many tax resolution companies have not been truthful in advertising their tax debt services, resulting in numerous BBB complaints and investigations.

The BBB also categorizes the complaints so that consumers can see what other consumers file against the tax resolution firm the most.
