JG Tax Group, co-founded by an ex-IRS agent, claims an 88 percent success rate in reducing their clients’ IRS tax debt. In fact, they say that not one of their over 40,000 clients has ever received a criminal charge. Their experienced team provides tax relief services in all 50 states.
The Good
- Help for most tax problems
- Positive JG Tax group review
Help for Most Tax Problems
JG Tax Group offers help with many tax debt and negotiation problems, providing services for unfiled returns, wage and bank levies, audit defense, payroll taxes and more. Though the list of services is not as comprehensive as some of their competitors, it covers most client needs. The only major tax problem we found no information on was asset seizure.
Positive JG Tax Group Review
On our website, the company has received one solid review of 10 out of 10. The customer praises them for obtaining low monthly payments and lowering the client’s overall tax debt “dramatically.”
The Bad
- No refund information
- No money back guarantee
- Negative reviews
No Refund Information
No information about money back guarantees is listed on the JG Tax Group website. Presumably, if they had any sort of refund guarantee, it would be a selling point. The lack is not a good sign, particularly when many of their competitors offer refund windows of days or weeks.
No Money Back Guarantee
We were unable to find information on a money back guarantee from JG Tax Group.
Negative Reviews
There are only a couple of reviews on our website for this company. One is glowing, but the other is a poor one out of ten. The complaint seems to be related to an Offer in Compromise service failure, with the added comment that the JG Tax Group employee was “unhelpful and condescending.”
The Bottom Line
Despite the one strange complaint, lack of certain services and no refund guarantee, JG Tax Group receives a recommendation from us. Their affiliation with both the ASTPS and NAEA gives a higher level of accountability, and they provide a good number of service types in all 50 states.

User Score10 people found this review helpful!Don’t waste your time with these Scam artist. They called me, I didn’t call them. When you first get the call them you be talking to a fast-talking salesman. His only job is to promise you the world and to get your money. Days of conversations may pass before they seal the deal on you. I should have listened to the bad reviews I read. Once they get your $4,000 you will never hear from your new salesman friend again. As a matter of fact, you won’t hear from anyone else as they don’t call their clients. They prefer to work through only E-mail (shady right there) Their goal will be to kick the can as far down the road as possible. They will ask for a little information, then vanish for weeks or months, then come back with needing a little more information, once they get it they vanish again. After a year of this can kicking has gone on they will send you an E-mail that a year has lapsed and to continue with your case they will need an additional $1,000 or they will throw your case out not only wasting your money but your time that you could have been working with a truly reputable law firm. This won’t be the last you hear from me, you don’t take 4 grand from a man and expect things to be okay. Don’t make my mistake, avoid these people.Was this review helpful? YesRead More

User Score15 people found this review helpful!I hired JG Tax to deal with the IRS for back taxes from 2009 through 2014. After paying a large sum for this service,
— I did all the preparation of tax information, they plugged it in electronically and provided me with returns to file. Had I gone to HR Block I would have saved myself 5K.
— No settlement, adjustment, etc. was made.
— Even though the IRS considered the tax “Currently Non Taxable,” penalties and interest continue to accrue.
— They said they filed an abatement, which turns out to be a single page electronic form. The wording they used for the reason for the abatement was “We are requesting a first time abatement. FTA” Nothing about my being seriously ill and disabled.
— It would cost additional funds for them to fill out (electronic form) the Offer in Compromise that actually allows you to pay less then the actual tax amount.
— The gentleman I worked with was unhelpful and condescending.
For these reasons, I would not recommend going with JG Tax and would spend the necessary funds to go through an HR Block or other like tax preparation company before hiring someone to submit the abatement or Offer in Compromise. Else you are throwing away money needed to actually pay off the IRS.

- Takes your existing debt and try to settle with your creditors for a lower amount. If you pay off the settled amount, your debt will be considered paid in full.
- Negotiates with your creditors on your behalf.
- Fee based on a percentage of your total starting debt or a percentage of the debt they save you.
- Most settlement companies have you create a separate "escrow" account where you will make monthly contributions over a certain amount of time to contribute to your settlement. Once there is a substantial amount of funds to show your creditors, the settlement company will try to negotiate a lower amount of debt.
- Combines all your debts and creditors into one monthly payment.
- Allows you to pay one monthly payment to the consolidation company, instead of multiple payments to different creditors.
- You no longer owe your original creditors; instead you pay one monthly payment to your consolidation company.
- Consolidation companies can help negotiate lower interest rates on your debts and help lower your total debt payment in the long run. A lower interest rate will lower the amount you owe in the end.
- Allows you to consolidate all your different debts into one personal loan that can be paid off over time.
- Can offer borrowers a lower interest rate with a longer payback term (compared to high-interest credit cards or medical bills). This will lower the amount of money required to pay off the loan over time.
- Personal loan debt consolidation can be an effective way to raise your credit score quickly (within 3-6 months).
- Borrowers can receive funds from their loan within only a few days.
