We are always taking a look at our competitors and always surprised how awful some of the companies are. The industry of “Tax Relief” is plagued by many high-pressure boiler room sales companies that really have no interest in getting you the best result and are more interested in just taking your money. After further review, we believe 911 Tax Relief to be one of the more unreliable companies.
First, see this review from a former employee:
Based on this review the company was formerly named Pinnacle Tax and Authority Tax Services. This is generally a bad sign when the companies keep changing names. It usually means people left terrible reviews and they have to start over again. This is very similar to Tax Defense Partners changing its name from Tax Resolution Services.
The second indicator this is not a good company is the low Yelp rating found here:

When you look at the owner’s responses, he keeps “relying on the contract” which usually means it was a bad contract, to begin with. Many tax relief firms try to package and sell you one service, then if that does not work out they try to sell you another. Most legitimate law firms like Tax Resolution Professionals resolve your case until it’s done, whatever the best result may be.
Pigeonholing you into one service on the contract is a bad sign. If you get a tax relief contract and it says it only covers Offer in Compromise or only covers a payment plan is a bad sign. The cases are complex and until you go over everything in extreme detail you cannot figure out the service you need.
Another bad sign is the owner is not an attorney. In the complaint, the owner is listed as Vardan Sarkisov. A search of the California Bar website shows no attorney by that name.
Overall, 911 Tax Relief would be a service that is not recommended.

I talked to 911 tax relief and it was super high pressure sales for sure. best to avoid lol
I think the company might be owned by this guy named Raffi and not the guy you mentioned. Either way 911 tax relief did just seem like the other guy said, super high pressure sales
Great article i always thought they were super shady and i live in California aswell. Thanks for the heads up
i agree, totally shady and just trying to sell but the guy had no data
their yelp reviews suck, you can tell its a crap company
Valuable analysis , I learned a lot from the facts , Does someone know where my business can locate a template IRS 433-A copy to fill out ???
For business, you would fill out IRS Form 433-B OIC.
911 tax relief sucks its a boiler room
911 Tax Relief sucks, they are the model of a crap tax relief company. I called them and you just get this guy on the phone that sounds like a used car salesman.
911 TA,X SERVICE WILL BE THERE UNTIL YOU PAY THE $1700 DOLLARS
After seeing their other reviews I’ll be avoiding 911 tax relief
