(And Why You Deserve the Real Deal When the IRS Comes Knocking)
At least 1 in 9 Americans are facing tax problems. Surprised? Don’t be.
When you realize the U.S. Tax Code and IRS regulations span over 74,000 pages—and they’re constantly changing—it’s no wonder so many folks end up lost in the paperwork jungle. No one should have to navigate that alone.
That’s where we come in.
Whether you’re an individual or a small business, if you’re having problems with the IRS or the state, we can help solve them once and for all. We’ll represent you, advocate for you, and handle the hard stuff, so you can move on with your life.
Taxes are complicated. Choosing a tax professional doesn’t have to be.
Let’s bust 5 myths that might be holding you back from getting the help you deserve plus, the truths you need to know.
❌ MYTH #1: “All tax professionals have basically the same training.”
✅ THE TRUTH: Not even close.
An Enrolled Agent (EA) like me has undergone intensive training, passed a 3-part IRS exam, and is required to complete continuing education every year. As a Certified Tax Resolution Specialist, I’ve taken 12 additional specialized courses specifically focused on dealing with the IRS. Compare that to many accountants or attorneys who may not have any direct IRS resolution experience. You wouldn’t hire a podiatrist for heart surgery—so why hire just any tax pro for a tax crisis?
❌ MYTH #2: “National tax resolution firms are better than local ones.”
✅ THE TRUTH: Local pros have the advantage.
Big-box firms may have flashy ads and massive call centers, but they lack one major thing: local insight. At Burgess Tax Relief, we understand the Rockwall economy, the local IRS office’s procedures, and the specific issues affecting our community. You’re not a number in our system you’re a neighbor we’re going to fight for.
❌ MYTH #3: “If a tax pro guarantees results, they must be better.”
✅ THE TRUTH: No legitimate professional guarantees results.
Let’s keep it real: The IRS decides the outcome, not us. But what a seasoned pro can do is put together the strongest case possible, backed by experience, strategy, and a deep understanding of IRS procedures. Anyone offering “guaranteed results” is selling a dream and possibly a scam.
MYTH #4: “All attorneys and accountants know how to deal with the IRS.”
✅ THE TRUTH: Most don’t.
Sure, some attorneys dabble in tax work, and some CPAs handle filings. But very few specialize in IRS representation. I’ve dedicated my career to navigating the IRS maze. If you’ve got tax problems, you want someone who lives and breathes this stuff not someone brushing off their IRS manual once a year.
❌ MYTH #5: “Only the wealthy need help with tax resolution.”
✅ THE TRUTH: Tax problems don’t discriminate.
We work with everyday people—teachers, truck drivers, nurses, small business owners, gig workers—who’ve fallen behind, gotten overwhelmed, or just need a fresh start. Tax issues are stressful, but you don’t have to be rich to get real help. You just need someone who’s ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work. That’s us.
⭐ BONUS TRUTH: Quality Matters.
We proudly stand by our 100% Quality Guarantee—not because we can promise outcomes, but because we guarantee effort, integrity, and the highest standard of service. When you work with Burgess Tax Relief, you’re getting more than a tax pro—you’re getting an ally.
