TaxLifeboat is dedicated to helping people resolve their tax problems with the IRS. Some history will help you understand how this company came into being.

We set out to create an affordable website that contained the tax knowledge and tools that were once only available to the few and make it accessible to all. After a few years, we realized that we had exceeded our goal and assembled the most comprehensive knowledge base of tax resolution strategies, diagnostic tools, and implementation resources available to date.

In talking with tax professionals across the country, we learned that they wanted to use our tax defense methods with their clients. We, in turn, saw the value that highly skilled tax professionals could provide to our taxpayer clients. So we formed a network of independent advisers plus our own tax experts to help taxpayers select and implement the tax strategy of their choice.

The philosophy is sound, but what about the cost? Many professionals said that our price is too low because "that's where the market is." We politely disagreed. We understand the realities of our customers' lives. Our approach is, if we can help solve your tax problem and give you a fair deal, you'll spread the word. And, if we can't help, you can request a 100% money-back guarantee.

After initially serving only tax professionals, we now assist taxpayers by providing a complete, non-web based service where our tax experts 1) analyze their tax issues and overall situation, 2) fully explain their available options, 3) help them decide which strategy best fits their circumstances and goals, 4) create the necessary applications, cover letters, forms and other documents to implement their strategy, and 5) have tax experts communicate with them throughout the process so they know what's happening and are in control.

Our customers resolve their tax problem, stress goes down and they get on with their lives. Excellent tax professionals get new clients. Our communities and nation become more financially secure. Even the IRS is happy!
