IRS tax debt has become a serious problem for many Americans, and unlike other forms of debt the IRS is aggressive and has more options to collect -- so you should address the problems quickly and resolve them. I will help you evaluate if Freedom Tax Relief is the right option for you by giving you some thoughts on tax debt and on Freedom Tax specifically.
First, to answer your question: Freedom Tax Relief is a good option if you are seeking a firm to represent you and help you resolve your IRS debts. They can help set up an installment agreement, work to qualify for an offer in compromise, or get you compliant (by pulling SFRs and filing back tax returns).
I’ve done some homework for you, but be sure to do your own research too. Here are the facts:
- Freedom Tax Relief has been in business for many years. It appears to be a good firm with thousands of clients.
- Freedom Tax Relief appears to be one of the larger firms, and has a low complaint ratio. This means FTR takes care of its enrolled clients.
- The founders of the company are Stanford Business School alumni with backgrounds in the financial services industry.
- It won many awards (Best Places to Work, Entrepreneurs of the Year from Ernst & Young, Fast 100 list by Entrepreneur Magazine, Inc 500, etc.)
- Freedom Tax Relief is positively rated by the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
- Most importantly, Freedom Tax Relief has helped many Americans resolve their IRS debts and looks to be an ethical operation that helps consumers deal with complicated IRS and tax debt situations.

Freedom Tax Relief will pull your IRS records, reviewing your file to see what years need to be filed in order to bring you up-to-date on your filing. They will see if the IRS filed any returns in lieu of ones you did not file and replace the IRS filed returns if it will benefit you. They will move to stop collection efforts, once all your returns are filed. If you are in a financial hardship, you may be eligible to reduce what you owe by submitting an Offer in Compromise (OIC), although Freedom Tax Relief will want to examine your IRS file and your financial records, before advising you that an OIC is possible. One great thing about Freedom Debt Relief is that they do not try to convince you to hire them by hyping their ability to reduce what you owe. In fact, you should be wary of any tax relief firm that gives you an assurance that your tax debt will be lowered, before they have seen proof of your income, assets and living expenses, as well as a thorough examination of your tax records.
Tax problems do not get better with time, in general. I recommend that you call Freedom Tax Relief at 1-800-455-6829 ASAP and get started on cleaning things up! Freedom Tax Relief has a staff of experienced attorneys and enrolled agents, all who are licensed to practice in front of the IRS. Please come back to bills.com and let us know how your experience with Freedom Tax Relief goes.
