Thank you so much !

Ms. Nicole Rosen worked with me step by step through the resolution process. She listened to me and advised me by always giving professional advice and options throughout each point of resolution. Nicole represented me during IRS communication and correspondence. Ultimately, she negotiated a feasi...ble plan to pay off remaining tax debt. I am grateful for Ms. Rosen and the entire staff at Watkins Tax.

DON’T

1. Take your money - just under $10,000 2. Promise they’ll help 3. Do nothing. 4. Ask for a refund. 5. Silence 6. Lesson learned.

Professional grifters

Hired this bunch for tax resolution and after two years of no calls, no emails, no resolution, etc., dropped them and hired an actual trax attorney that solved my problem with a simple letter to the IRS. DO NOT give these people any money, you will be in for a severe disappoinment if you do. Look a...t their reviews on anyplace other than their website and you will se the true ranking of these people. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Save yourself some cash.

Nightmare

OMG! This has bee a full-fledged nightmare! These people are the absolute worst! Husband and I both had lost our jobs due to the Covid mess. We had to use our savings and cash out our 401k’s just to make ends meet. Still unemployed we sought their services to help with our tax situations paying... them $4000 we really didn’t have. They assured us that they could most definitely help us with our tax bill of approximately 17k, especially due to our unemployment status at the time. Weeks went by, then month and now here we are 4 years later they have done nothing but make our nightmare worse! Their communication is horrendous! I cannot tell you how many people for the OKC office we have been through. They never call you back and/or takes days to return an email with absolutely no news and never any good news. The promises they made and never kept. We are sick to our stomach because we are now employed for almost 2 years now but making about 50% of what we were prior to losing our jobs. In the meantime, our penalties continue to grow and now we own close to 30k and were recently told that the IRS is not willing to negotiate our tax bill and that we must pay it plus the penalties. Why…. because we apparently now make too much? WTH!! This should have been fixed 2 ½ years ago! Where is our recourse???

Waste of Money

Took my money and did absolutely nothing for over 7 years. I called and called, and still nothing then sent me a letter saying they would not represent me anymore. A JOKE!

"I endorse this lawyer. Travis Watkins is, in my opinion, the finest tax attorney in the State of Oklahoma. I have witnessed this not only as a fellow attorney, but as a client of his law office. I retained Travis Watkins to handle a very serious IRS tax arrearage in 2015 after having a poor experience with a previously retained tax attorney. Travis and his team of attorneys worked tirelessly on my case and treated me with the utmost courtesy and respect from start to finish. In the end, Travis succeeded in securing for me an accepted Offer in Compromise that not only saved me over $200,000, but also saved my career and my family."
