Best of the Best for Personalized service
I can not recommend Larson Tax Relief Enough! I was completely terrified of my tax situation and felt awfully overwhelmed by IRS notices. Mr. Rui Pereira and Ms Peggy Gulyas always took time to listen and explain everything in simple layman English and developed a simple, clear but manageable plan. They lifted a massive weight off me. If you are struggling with back taxes or any issue with IRS look no further - they are compassionate, professional and they get results. They work with you for easy payment plans which you can afford. They are compassionate and treat you like a human being with abbondance of respect and care which money can not buy.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and heartfelt review. We’re truly honored by your words. Tax issues can be overwhelming and stressful, and we’re so glad that Rui Pereira and Peggy Gulyas were able to help ease that burden by listening, explaining everything clearly, and creating a plan you felt confident and comfortable with.
Your trust means everything to us, and we’re grateful you felt supported, respected, and cared for throughout the process. Helping our clients feel heard and treated like people—not just cases—is at the heart of what we do. Thank you again for choosing Larson Tax Relief and for taking the time to share your experience.

Thank you so much for your continued trust and loyalty over the years!
It truly means a lot to hear that we’ve been able to exceed your expectations year after year. Building long-term relationships with our clients is something we’re incredibly proud of, and we’re grateful to be your go-to team for tax support.
We also appreciate your recommendation — it’s the highest compliment we can receive. We look forward to continuing to serve you for many years to come!
Randi Nix and Team was able to cut through the IRS computerized penalty notices, get $5K of penalties removed and bought me about 4 to 6 Months to pay down enough to negotiate an affordable monthly plan that would allow me to pay down my IRS Balance. This took a lot of pressure off my back as the IRS was sending seizure notices.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
We’re so glad Randi Nix and the team were able to step in, cut through the automated IRS notices, and get those penalties reduced for you. Having $5K removed and securing additional time to get financially situated before setting up an affordable monthly plan can make a huge difference — especially when you’re facing the stress of seizure notices.
Providing relief, clarity, and workable solutions during high-pressure situations is exactly what we aim to do. We’re grateful you trusted us to advocate on your behalf and help lift that weight off your shoulders.
If you ever need support moving forward, we’re always here for you!
Rui and Peggy have been amazing throughout the process of helping me with my state and federal taxes. Peggy fought for me with the state, and Rui with federal. Both outcomes were more than I would have ever expected. To add on to their amazing work, they offer monthly monitoring, which I highly recommend, as most people who use their services have been in a place of feeling overwhelmed and defeated. The monthly monitoring will help alleviate the stress of any aftermath that could potentially happen once a resolution has been reached.
I highly recommend Larson Tax Relief and if you can, ask for Rui and Peggy! 😊😊
Reply from Larson Tax Relief2026-02-16
Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review!
We’re thrilled to hear how positive your experience has been with both Rui and Peggy. They each work tirelessly for their clients, and it means a lot to see their dedication recognized — especially the way Peggy advocated for you with the state and Rui with the federal side. Knowing the outcomes exceeded your expectations is exactly what we strive for.
We also truly appreciate you highlighting our monthly monitoring service. You’re absolutely right — the period after resolution can still feel stressful, and ongoing support is something we’re proud to offer to help bring continued peace of mind.
Thank you again for your recommendation and for trusting Larson Tax Relief to walk alongside you through this journey. We’re always here if you need us in the future!

Honest Relief
This company has been the best tax help I could ever have. Without Larson I would surely not be in business now. This is my honest and heartfelt review to let everybody know if you have problems this is the company to use. I have been with them for years and they put up with my shortcomings and took care of me despite all they had to do.
Reply from Larson Tax Relief2026-02-16

Hearing that our team has played a part in helping you stay in business is exactly why we do what we do. Tax challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to keep everything else afloat, so we’re honored you trusted Larson to stand alongside you through it all.
We also appreciate your honesty and loyalty over the years. Supporting our clients through every season — the easy ones and the difficult ones — is something we take great pride in, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to continue serving you.
Thank you again for your trust and for recommending us to others. We’re always here whenever you need us!
Rui and his team were great. I never used a tax servic before,so didnt really know what I was getting into. We made a plan and followed the plan. Rui or one of his team kept me informed or just checked in on me during this time to keep me updated. Everything they they said they were going to do, they did, in the time that was projected. They not only saved me money but also saved me having to deal with the IRS which is usually not a pleasent experience!
Reply from Larson Tax Relief2026-02-16
Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting Rui and the team to guide you through your first experience with a tax service. We know stepping into the process for the first time can feel overwhelming, so we’re glad we could provide clarity, structure, and peace of mind along the way.
Creating a plan and keeping you informed every step of the journey is a top priority for us, and it’s great to hear that Rui and the team delivered on what was promised — both in results and in communication. We’re especially happy we could help save you money while also taking the stress of dealing with the IRS off your shoulders.

Hello!
I was having tax trouble and hired Larson to help, and at this point I deeply regret selecting their services. To make a very longer story short, I owed taxes and I wanted them to help me reduce my tax debt and either get on a payment plan or pay if off in one large lump sum in a timely manner. That did not happen, do yourself a favor and make a better choice than I did. Read below for my experience.
1. I was told their services would take 3 to 6 months, but it was over a year when I hired someone else because they were not doing their job.
2. They would ask for me to submit documents today and not actually look at them until 3 to 6 weeks after I turned them in.
3. I provided all documents they requested in a timely manner and they would continuously lose them and I would have to resubmit them.
4. Often I had to fill out IRS forms I was not familiar with, and no one would help me look them over to confirm I did them correctly. I would have ask someone to please help me, and they still would barely do it.
5. The second manager I had (I had two) continuously tried to charge me more money to finish the job, even though we were months outside of our time line and I had not received any of the services I paid for originally. He wouldn't even answer simple yes or no questions
6. My biggest issue is my debt was not negotiated down on my behalf and Larson did not offer a payoff "according to my tax offer" I spoke with after I hired a new company.
7. The communication was bad, they gave me no clear instruction on what to do in most cases and sometimes I would go weeks without hearing any updates. Their company also does not do a good job of communicating with each other.
8. I requested a partial refund because of my overall experience and lack of services rendered, but I was denied. They basically told me what I was saying wasn't true even though it clearly was, so I just wanted to let other know of my experience so they can make a better choice than I did.

At Larson Tax Relief, we take all client feedback seriously. We have conducted a thorough internal review of this case, comparing the client's concerns against the specific financial analysis and work completed to date.
Our Resolution Process:
As a standard practice, we evaluate every client’s unique financial situation against the full spectrum of IRS resolution programs. Our goal is to find the most effective path to compliance and resolution. However, IRS programs have strict eligibility requirements:
*Offer in Compromise (OIC) Limitations: An OIC is not a "negotiation" or "horse-trade." The IRS follows a formulaic approach. If a taxpayer's net equity in assets meets or exceeds their total liability, the IRS typically deems an OIC non-viable.
*Transparency: We believe in discussing these options in detail so our clients have realistic expectations of what the IRS will and will not accept.
Status of the Current Matter:
Upon reviewing this specific client's financial disclosures, our team identified a strategic resolution path that, while different from the client's initial expectations, is projected to save them tens of thousands of dollars. With the client’s explicit authorization, we have finalized and submitted this resolution to the IRS. We are currently awaiting their formal response.
We understand this client has other representation to follow up on the resolution submission, and we hope it is readily accepted by the IRS.

I got the sense that Larson tends to focus more on larger cases. My balance wasn’t tiny, but I sometimes felt like I wasn’t a top priority. With Anthem Tax Services, I never felt like my case was too small to matter.

At Larson Tax Relief, we take all client feedback seriously, and we apologize if anyone feels their situation was not prioritized. However, after a thorough search of our client and accounting databases and internal inquiries with our entire staff, we have no record of a 'Mr. Jakson (or Jackson) ever being a client of our firm.
We have also reached out to Trustpilot to verify this review, but have received no response. We value transparency and would like to clear this up. Mr. Jakson, if you have worked with us, please contact our President, Ron Larson, directly at 888-589-0955 x 302 so we can address your concerns immediately
I can't express highly enough the appreciation I have for the girls that have been helping me at Larson tax relief!! Sandra, Kandace and Randi have gone way above and beyond to get things done for me. I'm so grateful for that in more ways than one. When the procrastination acts up they keep right on top of me with the push I need. I had to go back 7 years with the IRS and these girls have made it as smooth as can be. I hope Larson realizes and appreciates these girls as much as I do!! Thank you so so very much!!

Years of Loyalty Betrayed – $20K+ Wasted, No Results, and Complete Disregard from Larson Tax Relief
UPDATE:
As expected, Larson posted a scripted response that avoids accountability and tries to discredit me. Let me be clear: this is not a threat—it’s a factual account.
I paid over $20,000 in the past 12 months, including $5,500 in 2025 alone, and received no resolution, no meaningful updates, and little communication. When I reported identity theft, a Larson rep laughed—an unprofessional moment they’ve never addressed.
They now refuse to refund even the $5,500 paid this year, despite failing to deliver any actual service. If they truly cared about client outcomes, they’d acknowledge the breakdown and offer a partial refund at minimum.
I urge others to read the 1-star reviews on Google, Yelp, BBB, and beyond. You’ll see this isn’t an isolated case—it’s a pattern. I regret not doing so sooner.
===============ORIGINAL======= keep reading
I was a loyal client of Larson Tax Relief for years—and I now deeply regret it. Over the last 12 months, I paid them more than $20,000 for tax representation. And what did I get? No resolution. No progress. No communication. And no refund.
Let me be very clear: Larson completely dropped the ball, over and over again.
By late 2024, communication had already started falling apart. I would go weeks or months without a response. I kept giving them the benefit of the doubt, assuming work was being done in the background. But I was wrong. Absolutely nothing was happening—except more invoices showing up, demanding more money.
Between January and July 2025, I paid them $5,550. I received nothing in return. When I finally asked why nothing was moving forward, I got rude, dismissive responses.
The worst moment? I told one of their reps that I was the victim of identity theft, and that I couldn’t file my personal taxes because my Social Security number was stolen. She laughed at me. Let that sink in—laughed.
Eventually, I had no choice but to move on and hire another firm. I requested a refund for the 2025 payments based on zero service delivered. On July 25, 2025, Larson replied saying they wouldn’t refund anything. Instead, they referenced internal billing records—as if that erases the months of silence, missed deadlines, and total inaction.
I stayed with Larson far too long because I thought they understood my case and starting over would be too difficult. That misplaced trust cost me thousands of dollars and years of delay. I feel taken advantage of, disrespected, and ignored.
They’ll continue to bill you long after they’ve stopped doing anything meaningful for your case. If you ask for accountability, they’ll gaslight you, dodge responsibility, and blame everything on you.
And yes—they’ll probably file a rebuttal to this report filled with more of the same scripted excuses they’ve given others. But don’t take my word for it—do your own research. Read the 1-star reviews on Google. Go to Yelp, ComplaintsBoard, BBB—read the worst-rated reviews, the ones that sound exactly like this one. It’s a pattern. It’s not just me.
I only wish I had read those reviews three years ago. It would’ve saved me money, time, and a mountain of stress.

Over the three years we had the privilege of representing Nancy, her recent review reflects a perspective that does not align with the level of service we strive to provide. As the founding co-owner responsible for day-to-day operations, I want to take a moment to address the concerns raised and clarify key points.
At Larson, we take great pride in delivering exceptional customer service, especially when advocating for our clients before the IRS. In Nancy’s case, our records reflect consistent and diligent efforts throughout her time with us, including:
*Actively negotiating with the IRS to protect her and her business from enforced collections during her three-year engagement.
*Providing regular communication to educate her on IRS collection processes and advising on how to best position herself for a favorable resolution.
*Submitting multiple resolution proposals on her behalf.
*Filing appeals as necessary to continue advocating for her.
*Preparing for final negotiations once she qualified for the resolution she specifically requested.
Professionalism and empathy are core values of our team. We do not condone or engage in rude, dismissive, or disrespectful communication with any client.
When concerns are brought to our attention, we take them seriously and conduct a thorough review. In this case, after carefully examining Nancy’s file and communications, we found no evidence to support the claims stated in her review.
It is our policy to offer refunds or alternative resolutions when there is a verified issue with service—not as a response to threats of negative reviews.
We remain committed to our clients and to upholding the highest standards in both customer care and representation.
We do wish Nancy the best in all her endeavors.
Larson Tax professionals guided me through every step that I needed to get 4 years of unfiled back taxes prepared & submitted. Not only was I able to get current on my state & federal taxes, I was able to capture a $41,000 refund due me from the last year that I filed taxes & with less than 30 days before the recovery date expired! My life was stress & anxiety before contacted Larson Tax Relief, but turned to joy & happiness upon receiving notification that my taxes were current & of course the the IRS refund. Larson Tax Relief will now be handling all future my tax filings . Thank you Larson Tax Relief.

Randi Nix was incredibly knowledgeable, resourceful and most of all with us patient. The rest of her staff even the receptionists on the phone were professional and helpful.

Larson Tax Relief helped me big time!
Larson Tax Relief helped me through a very difficult time for both my business and personal tax resolution with the IRS. They are very professional, patient, informative, and also what I loved was the communication and clear direction. They resolved my situations quickly and allowed me to relax and focus on my business. I am in good standing with the IRS and could not be happier with Larson! Thank you so much! I would both recommend and use their services again!
