EveryDayCPA CEO Says the Tax Resolution Industry is Like the Taxi Business?

While consumers might be more frightened by witches and ghosts this time of year, tax debt is a specter for many, that never stops haunting. But a solution from the Tax Resolution Help Center could be a Halloween treat for those facing the tax debt collector.

“Because of service cost mispricing, business model inefficiencies, and marketing challenges for service providers, people who have tax debt are in a tight spot,” says Kelly Coughlin, chief executive of EveryDayCPA. He describes the company’s new service, Tax Resolution Help Center, as the next Uber for the tax resolution industry. “Like the taxi business this industry has drivers who don’t know their way around the city, prey on unsophisticated visitors and overcharge for their services. We equip taxpayers to deal with tax debt themselves. And make a more informed decision if they decide they want professional help.”

EveryDayCPA focuses on business strategy, taxes, accounting and risk management. And while tax debt resolution isn’t among the top services requested by clients, it is among the chief areas of complaint and stress. About 15 percent of its clients have federal or state tax debts on their balance sheets, which prompted Coughlin to take a closer look.

Of the roughly 14 million Americans with over $83 billion in tax debt, only about 10 percent retain professional help, while another 20 percent try to handle the issue themselves – which means “a whopping 70 percent of taxpayers are doing nothing,” Coughlin says.

“Fear of the IRS is the theme tax resolution companies leverage to motivate consumers to deal with tax debt” says Coughlin. “We don’t like scaring taxpayers to do business with us…and clearly 70% of the market doesn’t like it either. The better model is to empower people to help themselves.”

Launching December 1, Tax Resolution Help Center is an innovative solution. A monthly fee of $19.95 includes members-only education with virtual open-office sessions, video and audio webinars, podcasts and articles all offered in a confidential, anonymous environment led by more than 50 “Affiliate Experts” — fully vetted, high-quality tax resolution professionals “who are honest, smart, compassionate with those with tax debt — and tough with tax collectors,” -Coughlin says. “Finding this combination of characteristics was harder than you’d think.”

One expert is Tyrone Taylor, Enrolled Agent, Taylor Tax and Financial Consulting, Nashville, TN. “The tax resolution business is a tough business to organically grow through referrals. Former clients aren’t exactly shouting on social media they loved how I kept them from losing their homes. And targeting households with tax liens is like attorneys targeting drivers after their DUI ticket becomes public record. It feels like ambulance chasing. This platform is more like a professional trade show where consumers come to me to learn how to resolve their own debt. And if they want it, we are here to help their specific case.”

And Sharon Morgan, Enrolled Agent, IRS Tax Pros, Inc., Longwood, FL, another affiliate expert said, “Tax debt can be a terrible strain on a family, individual or small business. Fear tactics don’t work for most consumers. If I can help reduce financial stress by empowering individuals to deal with these issues rather than run from them, then I’ve done my job. And that is personally rewarding for me. The financial reward will follow. This platform lets me do that.”

Resolving past tax debt benefits taxpayers, tax experts and the government. Tax Resolution Help Center provides an affordable and effective way for consumers to address their tax issues, save thousands of dollars, and get tax resolution help from top-notch tax resolution professionals.
