We were contacted by IRS re monies they had on my husband's account but no tax form filed. He immediately contacted ex-wife and found that for the last four years they were married she filed as "single/head of household" and destroyed all his paperwork. We were able to prove beyond a shadow of doubt that he and his ex-wife were living together and raising a family during the four years in question. The problem kept getting bigger and we contacted J. K. Harris. They said what ex-wife had done was illegal and they would help us file papers for "Doubt to Liability". Their fee was $1800.00 - paid in full. From the beginning, every time we called JKH we had been assigned a different representative. I can't tell you how many times we had to sign papers for Power of Attorney because our case was passed on so many times. After two year, we finally get someone who will supposedly handle this case - "this is the most rock solid case I have ever presented to the IRS". Our hopes were up - and the IRS penalty and interest rates were going up daily. We heard nothing - when we called to find out what was going on, we were told that we had been put on a payment plan based on our financial information. WHAT??? We never gave JKH our financial information because you don't need that to file doubt to liability. We kept calling and finally were told - after we already had an answer from the IRS - that JKH had filed our papers one day late so the IRS closed the file and denied our request. In a very heated conversation with JKH, I demanded our money back because they had not completed the contract. Their response was that the contract was only that they file the Doubt to Liability forms - which they had done. The contract did not state that the forms had to be filed on time. Bottom line is that we are out the $1800.00, have tried many times to get assistance from the IRS, and are told something different each time we call. Giving a name and ID number for the IRS representatiave that you've talked to is futile...there is no way to get back to the the representative you spoke to. Bottom line is, we have been taken by JKH for $1800.00, lost hundreds of hours on the phone with JHK and IRS trying to resolve this problem, and we are still paying the IRS for a debt that is not ours.

The J K Harris Company advertises that they will work with the IRS to negotiate and settle any outstanding back taxes someone owes . This company took $4500 from me and did nothing. They would not even return my phone calls. They send me collection notices saying I still owe them $1500. It is the biggest scam in this country and no one is doing anything about it. The IRS knows about their scam. The Better Business Bureau nor our government does absolutely nothing to stop these thieves from stealing from thousands of people. It is a shame that this is allowed to continue. Children have been taken to jail for stealing a piece of candy. People have been shot for breaking into a house to steal a television. Why are the thieves at the J. K. Harris Company permitted to advertise in newspapers and television commercials so they can steal money from thousands of people without any repercussions????? Why can they not be stopped? More people need to do something. If the J. K. Harris Company has stolen from you, please submit a complaint to every place you can. If anyone would like to join together in a lawsuit against the J. K. Harris Company to be reimbursed the money taken from them, please notify me @ ([email protected]). Other people have made such efforts and have won. There are many attorneys that will take this case with no out of pocket expenses nor payment from the clients with the motive of receiving a portion of the money collected only after the lawsuit is won and payment received from the company being sued. (The attorney gets paid only if the case is won which amounts to 1/3 of all the money returned to us from J.K.Harris.) Do Not Do Nothing... DO SOMETHING! ([email protected])
