UPDATE - ISSUE RESOLVED - 13TH JAN 2026
UPDATE 13th January 2026
Alleviate have contacted me and we are resolving the matter and I'm happy that they charged just for the initial consultation. Good customer service.
*********************
basically you tell them your tax situation which they call “discovery” then the get their “experts” claimed they were tax attorneys to call you within 7 days. Derrick Gibson called me straight away and appeared to have all my transcripts and that he had spoken to the irs about my back taxes and that I would probably qualify for fresh start . It was going to cost me $18k for what appeared to be $80k in back taxes. He said due to the severity it would be good to get their team working on it straight away and what could I pay I told them I already paid some money to the irs and all I could do was $500. He said no problem these take 8-12 months and we would do a payment plan and to expect the documents come through. Nothing came through neither anything on the discovery so I still didn’t know what I really actually owed. Then on 25th December I get a simple text demanding $18k in full. Their website says you do not have to agree to go to the second stage and I never signed anything asking them to go for the second part. Derrick Gibson charged my card $500 anyway and said I can’t get it back because I decided against using them. I’ve had to let my bank know and I should be able to get my refund tha way. These people prey on desperate people who owe a lot of money and afraid of the IRS. I got more done in 30 mins with an HR BLOCK master adviser than I did from alleviate and they haven’t charged me yet! I only need to pay $350 for itemized filing and they will also be able to help me with the back taxes and getting on the fresh start program. They are not charging $18k and tell you the truth and upfront. Alleviate focus on your fear and desperation to get your month they take your card number and start charging at will.

This company is a complete scam
This company is a complete scam, I paid them 6,000usd for them to help me with my back taxes, they didn't do anything for 2 years, they would always ask me for additional documents every 6 months and i never saw any results, I demanded a refund and of course they came out with millions excuses trying to explain why they didn't do anything during 2 years, then offered me to reopen my case but i needed to pay an extra fee for them to get the case reopened. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY

Great experience
Great experience. I was skeptical at first about having to put a lot of money down but then was relieved that my Husband and I didn't have to put a large sum of money down. Our tax specialist was some one I could trust.
Tax Relief
Alma M. has been great is assisting me with taking the very difficult first step. She is patient, understanding and very knowledgeable. I am excited for this journey of recovery and I am looking forward to better days. Thank you
Alleviate Tax Services
I recently completed an engagement with Alleviate Tax Services, who completed my 2024 1040 and interceeded successfully with the IRS to establish an installment plan. Gabriella Martines was my case manager and handled everything professionally, honestly and completely. I couldn't be happier with the results, thanks to Ms. Martinez and her team at Alleviate.

Olivia was very helpful
Olivia was very kind, knowledgeable, and compassionate. I switched from another tax relief company due to their ineffectiveness. Once the consult with Olivia was over I felt very confident that she and Alleviate Tax Relief could help me with my IRS issues. Look forward to working with them
