They even offer a free educational training course. I decided to call and set up a free consultation. Sergio called me back and I Spoke with him on the phone. He was super helpful and informative. You can tell he really knows the tax system. He is very honest and strait forward. No gimmicks or shady promises. If you have any tax debt and looking or help, you should really consider giving them a call. read more

We are a small to mid-size California contractor and during our initial years we encountered some financial challenges for our day to day operations. We unfortunately fell behind with our payroll taxes which eventually manifested to a visit from an agent. When asked "what happen" we stated that we either closed our doors or kept our daily operations moving forward. In the interim while awaiting a decision from the IRS the State seized our business bank account. As we searched for some legal advise and contacted various tax attorneys we did not receive any immediate responses. Stressed with the uncertainty of our day to day operations and how to proceed we contacted Semper Tax Relief and received an immediate response. After a consultation with "Sergio" Semper Tax Relief we felt an immediate relief with guidance from Sergio on how to proceed with our back taxes. On the second day after contacting Sergio's Team he was able to negotiate with the State to release our business bank account and arrange for a payment plan. Unfortunately we still had the IRS back taxes to resolve. Sergio's Team took the helm with our file and commenced the process with the assigned agent. The next obstacle became the COVID-19 pandemic in which with the shut-downs assigned agent was transferred to another then as the pandemic persisted our file was transferred once again. The situation only manifested to tax liens and personal penalties with compounding interest... With the tax liens and personal penalties only compounding and the slow-down with the federal offices the outcome was ballooning out of control. We could not obtain reasonable interest rates, and could not qualify for a loan. The future looked bleak as they also would not allow for a renewal of passports. With the effects of our liens and personal penalties left a challenging uncertainty on how to continue. The tax lien notices continued to arrive with no end in site we could only continue to rely on Sergio's Team to provide guidance for our file. After approximately +6 years with our tax liens Sergio's Team contacted us to inform us that all our tax liens and personal penalties have been resolved. Sergio represented our company from beginning to end, it was prolonged due to the pandemic however Semper Tax Relief has brought a long awaited end to our back taxes nightmare. We highly recommend Semper Tax Relief services to anyone seeking assistance. With Memorial Day Weekend Approaching we are proud to have been able to work with someone who has served our Country. Thank You! Sergio / Semper Tax Relief! read more

This company dragged their feet with my case (which caused a lot of additional interest and fees), then Incorrectly filled out the important forms which made me have to step in and do things myself. I would not recommend this company to anyone because not only did they take a huge payment from me, they cost me more money and stress by not resolving a single thing. There are better options elsewhere. read more

I would like to start by saying that my experience started well and pleasant at the beginning, but slowly started dwindling. The process took over two years with a very bad result at the end, which basically nothing changed, and I still had to pay a huge amount in taxes . It was constantly going back and forth. They would ask for the same documentation over and over again, which was delaying the entire process which the entire time they would blame on the IRS and at the end of the day I don't know who was telling the truth, but it was an overall good experience at the beginning, and a horrible experience towards the end. One more thing that I would like to add, is that Sergio asked me for a review, giving me the impression that the process was done, and everything was taken care of which the process was not done and was not taken care of but by him asking me for a review before the process is complete I think it's very unprofessional which is why if you see the review that I left a year ago was a five star because he seems to strategically know when to push his customers for a review Knowing that the process is not complete yet. read more

Great service and team. Loved working with them and I will again in the future! Thank you guys!!!! Saved me a ton of $ read more

Sergio and his team offer great service and Tax advise tailored to our unique tax situation. They have been extremely helpful through this process and we are very satisfied with our outcome so far. The IRS was taking well over $800 from my paycheck and almost immediately they reduced the amount substantially to only $80 per pay check. I would highly recommended them to anyone looking to address any tax problems they are facing. They will take care of you every step of the way. read more

Had a consultation with Sergio and he is very honest and helpful. A lot of people would not be honest and tell you that you did pretty much everything in the situation they would instead tell you it was all wrong and drive you quick to retain them. Sergio explained to me the next steps I should take and how to without pressuring me to make any decisions right now. He was very informative. I would definitely recommend you start with a consultation and see how they can help! read more

I file my 2018 taxes on time with my CPA and 2 years later I received a $12,558 bill from the IRS. Many tax relief companies are hard to trust, and when I found Semper Tax Relief, I contacted them. Marc answered and I emailed all my documents prior to review my case. They made all the contact easy with the client portal. I decided to move forward. I met with Sergio & Andrea who prepared all the appeals and settlement for me. Happy to say that I only paid out - little over $500 for my IRS tax debt. I highly recommend Semper Tax Relief, they are experts with IRS tax law and have a good team to have your back. I never had to make any contact with the IRS, as they did all the communication for me! read more

See all

Would like to update my review as for this week I've gotten so much resolution to what I've been trying to clear up for years with the IRS. Sergio has taken charge of my case and he's been doing the heavy lifting of a every stressful case of mine. At the end of the day it was a rocky start and dealing with the IRS is in general so difficult and time consuming Semper helped me accomplish what I couldn't on my own. I know have a plan for my case and the end is near read more

The worst tax company I've dealt with. I paid my invoice in full to Semper Tax Relief and after they received my payment it seems as though they stopped working on my file or they keep pushing it back. Over the course of 2 years, I have to continuously call, text, and send email asking for the details regarding my accounting/books on my taxes. I get tons of excuses, returned calls from incompetent employees or receptionist not knowing why I am trying to contact them. It would be nice if they read my text or emails and provided all the details that I requested for instead of returning my call and being clueless as to why I am trying to contact them. Due to their lack of response and not being able to meet deadlines, I will be paying tax penalties for this. read more

A big shout out to Sergio and his team at Semper Tax Relief! After years of dealing with the IRS and the unknowns, I'm glad I found this company! Sergio and his team were able to review past taxes filed and resolve issues found done by H&R Block on top of ones I've done trough Turbo Tax. Sergio took on the IRS to help take care of what was owed, $37k plus, and get it down to the hundreds. I'm a big procrastinate on getting thing done and turned in, however Sergio and his team stayed on top of me to make sure things got completed. Thank you Simper Tax Relief read more

When I meet with Sergio everything seem good than nothing happened I didn't hear from them for months than I decided to take my business elsewhere one of his colleagues was very rude and call me a liar for remembering the quote I got from Sergio and told me in a threatening manner that he might just take he's sweet time sending the information that I paid for. Not a good experience. read more

I had high hopes when I hired Semper Tax to help me with my tax issues. Since hiring them my situation has worsened and I now owe more than double. After hiring them, I did not hear from them for over a month, and I had to constantly call them to ask them about next steps. There has never been a plan in place to help resolve my tax issue. All the communication with the IRS has been handled by me. There have been times I have not heard from them for months and I am always the one that must prompt them and usually, several times or more before I get a response. They had great reviews, so I thought I was hiring a star performer but that has not turned out to be the case. Being from a military family, I was thinking they would be partial to helping me solve this problem. Unfortunately, I've had to let them go and find another firm to help me get this situation sorted out as it is no longer something I have the luxury of time to wait on. read more

I reached out to Semper Tax because they had great reviews. I employed their service to help clean up past tax returns I didn't file. The charge of their service was 5K. They did work with me and allowed me to make payments. I was running into financial situations towards the end and when I explained that to them they simply advised that I pay or they would terminate service and the gentleman I spoke with was not customer friendly. I eventually got a loan to finish paying Semper Tax for their service. I had a debt owed to the IRS and I asked Semper Tax about programs that would help with the debt. I was advised that they would explore options for me. Over the next year and a half I heard nothing from them. I filed two tax returns in that time. I would have liked to know my IRS debt relief options to possibly see two tax returns but I ended up with nothing. My two recent tax returns wiped out my debt to the IRS. If I had known that this was going to be my outcome I would have saved money filing the taxes myself since I had worked for a tax company and taken tax classes. I thought by employing a professional Tax company that they would have sought out any options for me for Tax debt relief. read more

I worked with Jayson , Patrick and Sergio for my tax return . To begin with Patrick was professional and few minutes into my case immediately put me to Sergio. Sergio talked with me for few minutes and came up with a quick plan of action. He thought through the process quickly and calmly and that gave me confidence . Finally Jayson worked on my case diligently and identified mistakes and was able to reverse the fines which was levied because of a genuine mistake in my part. They have an excellent online portal and most of the task was done quickly with minimal follow ups . Even when IRS was delaying the response Jayson followed up with them on a frequent basis and kept the ball rolling . These guys are on top of things. I was able to completely relax having entrusted my case to them . They are a great team . Highly recommended !!! read more

I had a tricky situation where the IRS claimed I earned double what I reported. Although I sent the IRS the proper documents and explanation to verify my earnings, I kept getting letters rejecting my explanation. I felt like the IRS threw my paperwork into the trash can. So I reached out to Sergio and his team at Semper Tax Relief, and they were on it! I provided them with all my documents, and they met with the IRS on my behalf. Ultimately, they resolved my situation with the tax court, and ended up owing no additional taxes. The whole process of working with Sergio, Jayson, and his team was great. They followed up and provided regular updates, and clearly explained the next steps. I am grateful to Jayson and Sergio for their guidance throughout the whole process and the speedy resolution of my case. read more

We had an extremely difficult time trying to get through to the IRS. We finally agreed we needed professional help. Through peoples reviews we were able to find Semper Tax. My issue: Sons 1st job, he didnt report full income on a temp job he had for a couple months. We didn't get a W2 so we forgot all about it. Uncle Sam didn't! They later came back and charged us all this money, we promptly sent them a check! No one wants UNCLE SAM on their backs! Stressful!!! IRS claimed they never received it and it got "lost" , my bank had proof they cashed it.. it took Semper Tax MONTHS to find that check and allocate it to my account, remove all the interest and penalties being added! Today we received the best news! Zero balance due, along with a transcript from the IRS.Thanks so much to Sergio and Mark! Great job! Would recommend! read more

After researching several CPAs and other tax debt resolution firms, finding Sergio was a stroke of luck. For starters, Sergio spent a great deal of time explaining and sharing his expertise in handling complicated matters. This was extremely valuable due to our the fact that our former Cpa was both dismissive, and would take up to two weeks to return a call or a text. Sergio's patience and generosity with time does not end after you contract with him; he always take the time to bring you up to speed on what is going on or next steps that you need to take to help him move forward. He does not drop the ball on anything. Although we are still in process of finalizing a resolution I can honestly say my expectations have been exceeded. I am extremely pleased and confident that we will reach a successful outcome. While tax complications are horrible Sergio& his team do an amazing job of alleviating the frustration/fear-and are well worth the cost. read more
