Blue Tax Inc Fraud, Lies, Scam

Call this place for assistance with a tax matter and, at best, you'll be connected to a nineteen-year old junior college student. They claim to have enrolled agents and tax attorneys on staff; if so, ask to speak directly with one, get their name, and do some independent research to see if they're actually what they are. The operation is largely run by a guy named Todd Lewis, who looks like a cross between Stifler and John Blutarsky from Animal House. I would not hand my money over to an organization like Blue Tax.

Blue Tax Inc Failure to provide services

This company is a joke. I became a client of Blue Tax Inc., who promised to help me out with a tax problem. I followed all of their directions and faxed all of the information they requested. When they asked me to send them a letter asking me to LIE to the IRS and that they didn't think the IRS would even follow up on the information I told them no! You can go to federal prison for knowingly lying to the IRS. Sorry but I am not willing to sit in jail for 5, 000 dollars. I was told that if they didn't get the letter that they were unable to help me. Seriously, don't let them scare you into using their services. Their is nothing they can do that the IRS cannot do for you. I am now stuck paying a credit card bill for 2500.00 and the 5000.00 to the IRS. All because they lied to me, scared me and pressured me to use their services. Don't get stuck in their trap. I have filed a complaint with the IRS, BBB and the Attorney General. When you use their services the only one that losses is you!

Blue tax's owner, David "justin" urbas has personally had liens filed on him by the state and IRS back in 04, AND he was ordered to pay a 1.3million restitution judgement in 06.

HIs company, blue tax/blue tax consulting corp has CA EDD employment tax liens for all quarters of 2012/2013. Can't even pay his own taxes, probably shouldn't handle other peoples tax problems

he is starting to operate the company under his wife's name, as well: http://www.corporationwiki.com/California/Los-Angeles/angelica-urbas/107770662.aspx

all information in this email is from public records search: http://losangeles.netronline.com/la-index.php search for justin urbas and blue tax and select option "search by grantor"

There are a lot of posts on Blue Tax, Inc. and their failure to provide services as paid for. I found Business Consumer Alliance's report showing Blue Tax has been cooperating with them regarding these types of complaints. Maybe you should contact them to see if they can help you out. http://www.businessconsumeralliance.org/Reviews/Blue-Tax-100090806

It seems to me Blue Tax and ripped off quite a few people me included. If any one wants to join together for a law suit please include me. They make so many promises and give nothing. They have lied. I settled with the IRS for so much less than what blue tax wanted. It is time we fight back and recover our money.

A mistake was made on my complaint! The complaint was NOT about the BLUE TAX of California. I made an error in not verifying the correct address of my complaint. Blue Tax Inc, of California, IS NOT AND WAS NOT the tax company I had a problem with and I am sorry for the confusion I may have called.

Blue Tax Inc Fraud

They promise to wipe IRS debt, Promise to life bank levies and wipe away wage garnisments, but is unable to do any of this and will not refund money to clients, They threaten clients and use misleading information to convince clients to pay for their services. Company needs to be shut down, they are telling lies to people and taking peoples money for services they can not do.

We got blue tax we hired them and 2013 as my husband I had been in a car accident January 2010 and some of our taxes got mixed up so we paid through tax $2500 and got absolutely nothing I made arrangements on the amount we owed for taxes at $75 a month to bluetax didn't do this I did this. after which I called them and told them come on what are you going to do I want my money back and in response the guy that was supposed to be representing us call my husband and told him he better get a rien on your wife. That was the last we heard from them that was two years ago and this year I got a note from the IRS telling me they had drop the power of attorney so that entitles me freely to call the IRS which I did and They said blue tax had done nothing. I need help I need a lawyer this is criminal it really hurt me financially beyond description and blue tax knew it and they did nothing help I need A lawyer who can help me not cost me a bundle because I do not have that I just want my $2500 back they did nothing they deserve nothing help Lisa

I almost hired bluetax three years ago then I read this board here. I must say J Stozn was on point I hired Tax Resolution Professionals and the total fee was about $1850. They settled $45000 of debt for $100, there were no hard sales calls or any of that. I paid $175 for them to start my case and made the rest in monthly payments. Prior to that I almost hired BlueTax and they wanted $4000 to start, not sure if there were additional fees after that. Check TRP out before you hire anybody. I had tried five firms before I ended up hiring them. Their site is www.taxresolutionprofessionals.com and phone [protected]. Robert was the attorney assigned to my case, and I think they are a fairly small firm, but the results and service was amazing.

I also attached a picture of part of the letter of them accepting my offer. So relieved to have it all over and thanks J Stozn for the recommend.

Blue tax ripped me off as well. They charged me $2500.00 for the same thing I could have done myself. They rarely answered phone calls or provided updates on my case. I asked them to see if they could get my taxes reduced as they claimed they could, but they didn't. I ended up paying an extra $4, 000. more than I should have paid. I never heard from them again other than to ask me for my future business and referrals. The nerve! They caused me nothing but heartache and frustration.

They keep changing addresses...DO NOT TRUST THEM! I paid $3000.00 for very simple case. They did not do anything from march 12 to the end of the year...Because of that I lost my IRA. Finally i called IRS and they returned some, but because it took so long every day cost 5% from the sum you owe...I am 73y.o and during that time i almost was end up in the hospital...BBB can't do anything to them..

Blue tax and todd lewis will tell you what you want to hear but will not do anything until you complain, and the they do only what they want and threaten to sue uou if you take any legal action against them. I reported them to the california attorney general and he lied to them. We all need to file a complainrcomplaint with the attorney generals office to shut them down. So please everybody who has a complaint, contact the ca attattorney general and file a complaint.

I was ripped off by Blue Tax also. After signing up, I got no phone calls from them for months. Then they finally called wanting thousands of more dollars to finish my case. If I would have read all the negative publicity and terrible things on the web, I would have never wasted my money. The Vice President of the company is a liar and a con artist. Don't waste your money on this company, use it towards your tax's or an attorney.
