What Clients Are Saying...

Nicholas Hartney, EA | What Clients Are Saying


I failed to file tax returns to the IRS for over 10 years.  Finally, this problem caught up with me and the IRS levied my bank accounts, leaving me with absolutely zero amounts in my checking and saving accounts.  More, they garnished my retirement pay by an amount that would have only left me about $300 per month from the $3,000 I usually receive.
Naturally, I was in a panic.  I had seen all the commercials on TV for tax resolution companies, but each one failed scrutiny via Google searches about complaints against them.  I didn't know what to do so I tried Googling for local tax resolution companies and found Nick Hartney's website, https://www.genesistaxconsultants.com .  
I checked his company out on the Internet and couldn't find a single complaint ... I gave him a call.  
Here are the facts I've learned:
1.  You see TV commercial after TV commercial from companies promising to handle your IRS problems for "pennies on the dollar" and each is BS ... that is, unless you are in certain circumstances that only apply to a very few ... that's how they try to get away with making the "pennies on the dollar" claims
2. Nevertheless, most of the "TV commercial companies" eventually wind up being busted by the Federal Trade Commission and/or their local state attorney generals office ... such as Roni Deutch, American Tax Relief, Tax Masters and just about any other tax resolution company you see advertised on TV!
3. You're going to have to file your back tax returns and you're going to have to pay the IRS, including penalties, interest and fees ... the only questions are how can you get the back returns filed quickly and then negotiate with the IRS for how much you'll have to pay each month to enable the IRS to release bank levies, garnishments and withhold action to take your home -- that's where a tax resolution expert can help and Nick is an expert in this field
No "pie in the sky" promises; no unrealistic expectations, Nick tells you the facts and then goes to work to get your returns filed and then negotiate the best deal possible with the IRS to enable you to pay the lowest amount each month possible (that amount will be high ... but not as high as it would be if you tried this on your own!).
Nick is an honest player in a sea of dishonest big TV advertised companies.  He saved my financial life.  Plain and simple.

I had to get my expat taxes done for the first time and was certainly concerned about the entire process. Nicholas was quick, and transparent in his approach. His communication level, knowledge and work ethic are outstanding. I look forward to working with him next year.

Keys to Unlock a Successful Offer in Compromise © by Nicholas Hartney, EA © of Genesis Tax Consultants, LLC© *Updated Article 2018 Here Contact me: Nicholas Hartney Licensed to Represent Taxpayers Before the IRS  T he Offer in Compromise is an agreement between a taxpayer and the IRS that settles the taxpayer’s liability for some amount which is less than the full amount due. The IRS has the authority to settle or compromise federal tax liabilities by accepting less than full payment under certain circumstances. The taxpayer makes an Offer in Compromise on Form 656.

2010 IRS Nationwide Tax Forum San Diego Review

The 2010 IRS Nationwide Tax Forum was nicely set up and had some great presentation speakers.   Some of the highlights discussed from the forum: There were almost one million federal tax liens filed in 2009. The National Taxpayer Advocate's Office discovered that federal tax liens drop your credit score 100 points as soon as they are filed.  The investigation also found that the three major reporting credit agencies, Experian, Equifax, and Transunion, do not remove tax liens for years, if at all, even after the tax has been paid.  The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows the agencies to keep the lien on your credit report for up to 7 years after payment in full.  Regardless of this Act for some reason the investigation found that Equifax keeps liens on your report for up to 15 years, Experian keeps the liens on your report for 10 years, and TransUnion indefinently!  Federal Tax Lien filings went up 475% over the past 10 years. Bankruptcy on back taxes are di...

Preparing IRS Form 1045 Tentative Carryback Application or Carryback Claim Net Operation Loss (NOL)

Preparing Form 1045 to apply a tentative carry-back loss is ridiculously complicated for most people.  Even seasoned tax prepares have difficulties preparing this form.  If after you filed an amendment to your tax return (Form 1040X) and the IRS sends you a notice requesting that you now file Form 1045 you should consider calling someone for help!  I filed one of these forms back in June for a client of mine and just received notice that it was approved, lowering the taxpayer's liability down from $8492 to $2900. You may want to contact me on this . If you wanted to try to tackle the 1045 yourself here are the instructions: Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service 2010 Instructions for Form 1045 Application for Tentative Refund Section references are to the Internal Definitions connection with gambling, the racing Revenue Code unless otherwise noted. of animals, or the on-site viewing of Eligible loss.
