BestMoney Features Tax Hardship Center in Its Coverage of the Best Tax Relief Companies, With Particular Attention to Back Taxes Work

EmitenTrust.com The feature follows recent recognition from Forbes Advisor and two consecutive years on the Inc. 5000, a run few firms in the tax resolution industry can match.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tax Hardship Center, a tax relief company serving individuals and businesses in all 50 states, is featured by BestMoney.com in its reviews of the best tax relief companies, with particular attention to the firm's work helping taxpayers resolve back taxes. The feature arrives on the heels of recognition from Forbes Advisor, which includes the firm in its own coverage of the best tax relief companies, and back-to-back appearances on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies in 2022 and 2023.

BestMoney evaluates tax relief services on pricing transparency, customer satisfaction, and breadth of services, comparing providers side by side for consumers researching their options. Its attention to Tax Hardship Center's back taxes work reflects where much of the firm's caseload sits. Unfiled returns and unpaid balances are the most common reasons taxpayers reach out, often after years of letting the problem build.

"Back taxes rarely start as a crisis. They start as one missed return, then a penalty letter that goes in a drawer, and three years later the IRS is talking about garnishment," said Ari Azim, Founder and CEO of Tax Hardship Center. "By the time someone calls us, the worst part is the unknown. How much do I owe, what can the IRS actually do, what are my options? So the first thing we do is find out. We pull the transcripts, we get the real numbers, and then we walk the client through every program they may qualify for. Most people are surprised the IRS has as many resolution paths as it does".

What Reviewers Keep Pointing To

Three things come up consistently across the independent coverage of the Tax Hardship Center. Cases are handled by licensed professionals, IRS-certified Enrolled Agents, CPAs, and tax attorneys. The process is transparent, beginning with a free case evaluation and a formal investigation phase in which the firm contacts the IRS directly before recommending any course of action. And the firm stands behind the work, with a money-back guarantee and an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.

Resolving Back Taxes, Step by Step

For taxpayers with unfiled returns or unpaid balances, the firm's process follows a consistent path. It begins with transcript retrieval, establishing exactly what the IRS has on file and what is owed. Missing returns are prepared and filed to bring the taxpayer into compliance, a prerequisite for nearly every IRS resolution program. From there, the firm assesses eligibility across installment agreements, Offers in Compromise, Currently Not Collectible status, and penalty abatement, and represents the client before the IRS through resolution.

Tax Hardship Center has resolved more than $500 million in American tax debt since opening its doors.
