Company information:
The Tax Club
United States

The tax Club located on the 60th floor in the Empire State Building is a complete scam. If you go on legalzoom or fileinc websites and set up a corporation. At the very end you will find an option which asks if you want to set up a free tax consultation. If you select this, your information will be forwarded to the Tax Club where a guy named Bert Seither will call you. When you think this is for a tax consultation, it is not. Bert Seither will give you some basic idea about a corporate tax structure then will want to charge you $1000 dollars for the tax clubs services. That’s what happened to me. He tries to sell you something you don’t need. Stick to your CPA and Tell Bert at the tax club to shove it up you know where.

I had some work done for me by a Lawyer's association. A few days after I was through doing businss with them, I received a call from the Tax Club; and they kept on calling until I bit. The withdrew from my personal check account the sum of one thosand dollars ($1000.00). They had told me that they would save me a thousand dollars. They did not. They are not honest. They did a tax return for me in 2006 and sent it in for filing over six months late. When I read the tax return it was full of errors and inconsistencies. I had given them a 1099 which had to be sent to the IRS with the tax return, but they lost it. Then to add insult to injury they started to deduct from my checking account the sum of sixty nine dollars ($69.00) each month for service charges. I sent them an E-mail cancelling the so-called membership in this fraudulent operation. In addition, I had no money to pay the IRS and had to redo the 1040 tax return because of the errors they made. Then, all of a sudden, eveytime I made a deposit to the bank, the amount was quickly eaten up and my account was continuously overdrawn. I don't know to ths day who was responsible for identity theft, but I suspect that it could be the Tax Club or somebody else. I had to close the checking account and reopen it under a new number; new passwords; new everything. I am 83 years of age with many health problems (some are chronic, acute and terminal) and did not deserve this thievery to myself and to the checking account. I will be putting this information on my website so that others can see what thieving bums that are out there. And what hurts even more some of the government agencies are also involved in a round about way. I sent an Email to the Federal Attorney General on this, but I doubt whether they are even interested.

This is a complete rip-off, I signed up with them and had my initial consultation on the phone and he wanted to just charge my card to get that initial fee. Within 4 days I had a "Personal Tax Plan" from them. But from the looks of the plan the only thing personal is the cover page as the rest is just a printed document going over various tax saving ideas for your business or yourself. I called numerous times to get a hold of the person I talked too but he was nowhere to be found and every receptionist I talked to said that they would "email" him to call me back. I asked for his email address so I could email him directly and they wouldn't give that information out, after 2 times of this I felt this whole thing was a scam and called my credit card company to dispute the charge. After a couple weeks apparently they contacted my card company and then my card company reversed the hold on the money. In the meantime I was able to get a hold of the billing department to cancel within the 30 days that makes me eligible for a refund. I've called my card company again and they are going to investigate this charge again. Wish me luck! If nothing comes of the credit card company helping me out I'm having my attorney send a formal letter. I will be spreading the word like crazy on how crappy of a company this is and all they want is the initial "payment" and after that, they treat you like crap. There are too many slimy people out there in this world. Be very careful who you deal with!

Spread the word on this company!

These people are something else. DO NOT give them one dime! You get a free consultation on basic corp. taxes, but they are really sneaky. We thought we were talking to LegalZoom (good company), but we were wrong. When we did more digging, we decided to cancel the very SAME day. Well, they had already charged our credit card $1497 (within MINUTES), but it is taking MUCH longer and many more phone calls to get the charge reversed. It's a disaster! The billing department said "there is a process" and it will take a couple of days. Okay, fine. We wait a couple of days and still nothing. Call back and this time there is a form we have to fill out and either e-mail or fax back. So we wait for the e-mail form. Nothing. They are misleading, misrepresenting, and take forever to get your money back. They are probably earning lots of $ in interest on all of us who are still trying to get our funds back. I filled out a complaint at the BBB and suggest everyone else do the same. They are not in good standing with the BBB and they are not even registered with them.
On a side note, since talking with them, we have received more phone solicitations than ever before. Hmm...
