DO NOT EVER USE OR TRUST THIS COMPANY…read more I used Ed Contract of Taxes by Contract for several years. After every return, I was told the same thing: "If anything ever comes up with the IRS, I'll be here to help." That promise was the only reason I kept returning. In March 2025, I received a notice from the IRS stating I owed nearly $5,000 more -- on top of the $6,000 I was already making monthly payments on. I had only worked six months that year. There is absolutely no way I should owe $11,000. I tried to make sense of the notice using the IRS website and the letter itself, but nothing explained how the balance added up. So I reached out to Ed for the help I had been promised. At the beginning of my outreach, I received early-morning calls -- 6:03 AM on April 22 and 7:18 AM on April 11 -- even though I had clearly stated I was only available after 8 AM. It felt dismissive and evasive. After weeks of pushing, I finally got Ed on the phone on May 12 for a 29-minute call. During that call, he asked me to send the IRS letter AGAIN, even though I had already sent it. I did. On May 16, I received an email from Stacy confirming the documents were received and saying, "Ed is taking care of the issue and will get back to you soon." That was the last time I ever heard from anyone at this company -- and it is now late August. I've attempted to contact them 20 times total -- including emails on March 18, March 19, April 24, May 1 (twice), May 3, May 29, July 7, July 21, and July 30, and calls on March 24, April 10, April 11, April 22, April 24, May 1, May 7, May 12, and August 18. 10 of those attempts were after May 16, after I was explicitly promised help -- and I've been completely ignored ever since. When I spoke to Ed, I explained that the sudden $5,000 balance had put me into default on the IRS payment arrangement I had set up -- one that made sense for the original amount owed. I told him that I was being forced to increase my payment just to stay in good standing. He assured me he would resolve it. Instead, I've been completely abandoned. And now, I'm stuck with double the monthly IRS payment because the help I paid for never came. There has been no follow-up, no accountability, and no effort to make this right. I paid $500 for professional support and got nothing but silence. If you're considering using Ed Contract -- don't just walk away. Run. This has been one of the most unprofessional and infuriating experiences I've ever had.

Sadly, we didn't even have a chance to receive any service they provide…read more Landed an appointment with this place after I called around to many tax places in and around Murrieta and majority of them accommodated business owners. We were just looking for simple tax filing for military family with property in different states. When I spoke to Claudia, I shared exactly that information and she said she can accommodate then had setup an appointment for us with her, months ahead before tax deadline. I asked if she had a list of items she will need from us and she said we will receive a text. Fast forward to last week, I received a text to confirm my appointment with tax company, I confirm yes but didn't receive a list of things needed neither a secured link to drop required documents. Night before our appointment my husband put together what we normally drop in a link for previous tax companies, W2, bank statements, receipts for medical, military, donation statements/receipts, work related mileage and uniform care, etc, tax documents from previous year, and of course government identification. We expected to have everything with us when we arrive at our appointment since we were traveling 40 miles one-way to get taxes done. We finally arrived 15 minutes late because of traffic we jumped on the Fastrack not realizing the next exit was a couple miles past our exit...lesson learned. Called to let Claudia know we will be late and check if we should just head back home. The gentleman who answered the call said Claudia was in a meeting and proceeded to say that he is actually going to take care of us and we can still show up for our appointment...interesting we got passed up to someone else but heck that's what we get for arriving late perhaps. We arrive and was asked for our driver licenses, then was asked if we had our social security cards with us...that's a first! I told him we didn't know what you all needed from us so we just brought what we typically bring to tax appointments. And he says that they require a social security card and not to worry because we can just "email" photo images to him. In my line of work, I know that is unacceptable, in fact, all law enforcement affiliates would never recommend you send PII via non-secured email accounts. My husband chimed in and said we have never had to provide social security cards to any tax company and the guy interrupted my husband saying all tax companies do require a social security card by law... I couldn't help but wonder if he thinks we file our taxes outside of the United States because we have been filing taxes for over 30 years and this is the first time any tax company has ever asked for our social security cards. But heck, seems like he wants to be right and that is ok. We were in traffic too long to argue with a wall. Perhaps they are unaware that when U.S. citizens acquire a government ID that social security cards were already verified to obtain a government ID...who knows. Well, we weren't going to sit there and argue with the guy. And we already knew that we don't care to travel another 80 miles just to bring our social security cards because our passports and or Driver licenses didn't suffice. Neither would we ever send photo images or typed characters of our SS numbers via email. We already have to write our SS numbers on tax forms, if IRS cannot verify it with their super secret computers then it comes back to the tax-payer for proper verification. Simple as that and not worth the argument. We told him to have a good day and walked out. One star for allowing us to show up late. :shrug: No value in this visit and no service was rendered. Just a massive headache from the traffic to get there and the unnecessary banter over social security numbers.
