J. K. Harris review: Lawsuit anyone! 50

I had the same experience with JK Harris. They told me they could and would help me with the tax problem I got into after loosing my seventeen year old son. All they did was cost me more money. I paid them over $5300.00 for nothing. They had no worked on the case the state told me that it had been to long and would not forgive me of anything. I always got a new person working on my case seldomly got calls back. I can not understand why something is not done about these companies praying on the unfortunate problems. The government could get their money faster if these companies that claim to help you would be taking so much and not getting the help you where promised.

We were contacted by IRS re monies they had on my husband's account but no tax form filed. He immediately contacted ex-wife and found that for the last four years they were married she filed as "single/head of household" and destroyed all his paperwork. We were able to prove beyond a shadow of doubt that he and his ex-wife were living together and raising a family during the four years in question. The problem kept getting bigger and we contacted J. K. Harris. They said what ex-wife had done was illegal and they would help us file papers for "Doubt to Liability". Their fee was $1800.00 - paid in full. From the beginning, every time we called JKH we had been assigned a different representative. I can't tell you how many times we had to sign papers for Power of Attorney because our case was passed on so many times. After two year, we finally get someone who will supposedly handle this case - "this is the most rock solid case I have ever presented to the IRS". Our hopes were up - and the IRS penalty and interest rates were going up daily. We heard nothing - when we called to find out what was going on, we were told that we had been put on a payment plan based on our financial information. WHAT? We never gave JKH our financial information because you don't need that to file doubt to liability. We kept calling and finally were told - after we already had an answer from the IRS - that JKH had filed our papers one day late so the IRS closed the file and denied our request. In a very heated conversation with JKH, I demanded our money back because they had not completed the contract. Their response was that the contract was only that they file the Doubt to Liability forms - which they had done. The contract did not state that the forms had to be filed on time. Bottom line is that we are out the $1800.00, have tried many times to get assistance from the IRS, and are told something different each time we call. Giving a name and ID number for the IRS representatiave that you've talked to is futile...there is no way to get back to the the representative you spoke to. Bottom line is, we have been taken by JKH for $1800.00, lost hundreds of hours on the phone with JHK and IRS trying to resolve this problem, and we are still paying the IRS for a debt that is not ours.

MY HUSBAND OWES TAXES TO THE IRS AND I WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD HIM FOR SOME REASON THEY WOULD TAKE MONEY AND DO NOTHING WELL GUESS WHAT 7 MONTHS LATER, HUNDREDS OF EMAILS, PHONE CALLS, AND YES ABOUT $5000.00 OF OUR MONEY THAT COULD HAVE WENT TO THE IRS TOWARDS HIS BILL, WE ARE WITH YOU IN THE SAME BOAT. GOT JERKED AROUND WITH AT LEAST 4 DIFFERENT REPS, DIFFERENT PHONE NUMBERS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN CORRECTED. IN FACT EVERYTHING THEY TOLD US THEY WOULD STOP HAPPENED, EVEN A LEVY ON OUR PERSONAL ACCOUNT, THE LAST LADY WE SPOKE WITH ACTUALLY SAID YOU ARE WELCOME TO CALL THE IRS YOURSELF ( WELL THAT MADE ME LIVID ) BECAUSE WE DECIDED TO CALL THE IRS AND IN TWENTY MINUTES YES 20 MINUTES WE HAD A PAYMENT PLAN WITH THEM AND YES HE MAY BE PAYING THIS LITTLE AMOUNT FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE BUT I THINK I MAY BE ABLE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE LEVIES AND NO MORE MONIES SENT TO JK BUT I DO WANT TO BE KNOWN THAT I CAN BE VERY AGGRESSIVE WHEN IT COMES TO OUR HARD EARNED MONEY AND I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL SOMEONE GETS ME OUR MONEY BACK SO I AM ON THE TRAIN TO DO THE NEXT STEPS ALONG WITH ANYONE TO BE HEARD AND STOP THESE ADVERTISMENTS THAT ARE TOTALLY FALSE BECAUSE THEY IN 7 MONTHS HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT CAUSED MORE PROBLEMS FOR US SO WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE PLEASE CONTACT US TO GO ALONG WITH U..CLO78@AOL.COM

We operate a small bussiness and early on we got into a situation where we owed back taxes. We needed help and we hired JK Harris. We paid them $5, 000. They said "oh sure" we can get you an offer and compromise. We felt like we had no where else to turn and we trusted them. What a JOKE! They met us in a temporary office in our town and told us they would be available anytime we needed them...OH No...everything was done over the phone and fax to their office in South Carolina. Every six months our contact person would change. The whole process dragged out for around 3 years. We were even making payments to the IRS as if the Offer had been accepted. After paper pushing back and forth. JK Harris sent us a letter telling us that we had too much equity in our house and we made too much money for the IRS to ever accept an offer and compromise! THEY KNEW THIS ALL ALONG! Now our penalties and Interest are Excessive...JK HARRIS made our situation MUCH WORSE than it was before we hired them...PLEASE let us know about any law suites we can join against them...They need to be put out of bussiness and the MASS PUBLIC needs to know about them!

i am also a VICTIM of this so called company they took me for 2750...i went everywhere with my complaint and received no help what so ever all that money could of went to help pay off my debt to the IRS. I don't understand why the IRS as big as thy are, are not doing anything about these scammers. These fat cat lawyers living in there mansions and just another way the rich get richer off the poor. I would also love to join into the lawsuit. I am not working and could use that money back.

i have paid 8, 000.00 dollars abnd cant get them to return calls or even do any negosiating, they did a bad job filling out my taxes and say i9 owe mor than 70, 000.00. my wife and i thought we were ok when we talked to them back in 09. we signed up and paid over 8 grand and have only been able to get to see someone only twice in the last two and a half years. i really wish some one would start a class action law suit. i think that the irs has hired them and are getting paid for collecting our money. bnorth

Now that JKHarris is going through bankruptcy will I still get my refund?

Wow what a scam. I didn't lose alot of money but my business did get siezed and I lost my business and livelyhood. I was promised by J.K.Harris that I would be getting back my money after it was approved. Months later I did receive a letter that basically said it has been aproved for refund and the check was going to be in the mail. Go Figure. Well it has been over 3 years and still no payment. I called the office over 50 times and was told by one lady there that I can't sue them "Quote" read your contract. I would be in line to stop other ppl from getting screwed from J.K.Harris. If you or I did this we would have already been in jail. And for a long time. I don't see how anyone could sleep knowing that the have ruined ppls lives and trust. It made us all smarter but at what cost.

Winston-Salem N.C, They Took Over $30, 000.00 From Me And Did Not File Nothing That Would Help Me Get My Taxes Done With IRS, Hope to get a Class action Lawsuit against them please join in, call Attorney Tony Hartso

I to contracted JK Harris for services, I 0wed tax returns for 2004 and 2005 from a past business the IRS had attached a Lean on my house and property, JK Harris brought about a resolution to 2004 that i was happy with by reconstructing the 2004 return. But the 2005 they recommended that i take a item of compromise which would of cost me a small fortune so i told them to reconstruct again like we did with the 2004 return at that point all communication stoped and would not return my phone calls the ###s left me hanging.So to make a long story short i did the 2005 return on my own and the IRS excepted it. They agreed ed to do both returns for a specific amount of money witch they did not. I got lucky and got out of my IRS problems with a favorable disposition and a lessen to be learned. My advise do not consider JK Harris as a option what JK Harris charges you an arm and leg for you probably do on your own.
