Solvable is a for-profit company that helps customers resolve their tax problems, but a free service for consumers. Partners cannot pay us to guarantee favorable editorial reviews or ratings. We do not publish favorable (or unfavorable) editorial reviews or assessments at the direction of an advertiser or partner. We always work to put consumers first and do our best to provide value in meaningful ways, but our reviews are subjective.
Solvable is compensated by some of the companies seen on our website. Most often, Solvable receives fees when one of our readers clicks, fills out a form, applies for, or receives a financial product from one of our partners. We also earn fees for capturing consumer stories and writing about them, displaying advertising, having our partners sponsor certain parts of the site, and writing content that may be relevant to our partner and their audience. This compensation may impact where products appear on this site, including article pages, comparison listings, the order in which they appear or if they will even appear on a given page, and our matching recommendations. Solvable has not written about, reviewed, or rated all financial products available to consumers.
In addition, we may be compensated in the following ways:
We do recommend that you shop around and compare services and costs with other companies while performing your own due diligence, especially since people’s experiences with companies can change over time.
The offers that you are matched up with are from companies or attorneys/law firms that we may receive compensation from. Based on our initial review of such companies or individuals, we feel comfortable introducing them to our readers. We won’t recommend something just because we’re offered payment to endorse or promote it. However, we do recommend that you shop around and compare services and costs with other companies while performing you own due diligence, especially since people’s experiences with companies can change over time.
We are not attorneys and we don’t provide legal advice. As always, we encourage you to do your homework and check out individuals and companies before you hire them. If you are already working with an attorney, we urge you to ask them your questions. After all, they will be familiar with your situation and the laws in your state.
We hope that you find Solvable helpful in your efforts to get a fresh start.

Potential savings may vary based on the interest rates, balances and remaining repayment term of the loans you are seeking to refinance. Your overall repayment amount may be higher than the loans you are refinancing even if your monthly payments are lower. Variable rate options will fluctuate over the term of your loan with changes in the LIBOR (or other index utilized by the lender) rate, and will vary based on applicable terms and presence of a cosigner. Fixed interest rates may be based on applicable terms and presence of a co-signer. Additional terms and conditions, and rates are subject to change at any time without notice and may not be available in all states or for all types of current student loans.

The Lender you select is required to provide you with an Application Disclosure and an Approval Disclosure within the application process before you accept the terms and conditions of your loan. solvable is not a lender or creditor, it does not offer, extend or alter credit terms. Only participating lenders can perform the full application and deliver the required disclosures, please ask your lender about rates, terms, fees, and potential discounts that may be available for each product.
Solvable is not a creditor as it does not offer, extend or alter credit; rather it is an online market lead generator that allows consumers to shop and compare rates, terms and costs associated with financial products such as mortgages, auto loans, personal loans, student loans, etc. solvable does not originate or fund any product it markets; rather it has a network of lenders or Partners/affiliates. You may choose to speak with one or more of these lenders or Partners/affiliates to determine what your actual terms and savings may be. Only a lender can provide you with a formal application for credit, your inquiry form here is merely an expression of interest and/or intent to obtain credit or assistance. You must discuss your actual credit situation and fill out the lender’s required documents prior to obtaining an extension of credit. Network lenders may not have the best or the lowest rates so you are encouraged to continue to shop and compare additional lenders, credit unions, local financial institutions, etc. to ensure you are truly getting your best deal for your situation.
You should contact your tax professional or other financial advisor to determine if you can actually realize savings by refinancing when it can extend the life of your current loan. You should ask the lender about all terms, rates, fees and costs associated with each product and if you will realize a net tangible benefit from the same. All initial estimated savings is done by trying to calculate what your rate may be; however, solvable does not have that information and cannot guarantee potential savings or that lenders will approve you for such product that would warrant those savings. Rates are not guaranteed and change daily. Lenders/Brokers/Dealers/Partners that perform the actual underwriting will have to determine if you meet their underwriting criteria which is unknown to solvable at the time of matching/offer/quote delivery. All amounts are estimates and examples only and do not represent an actual offer.
The Good
Free Consultation & 100% Price Protection Policy
It’s typically a good idea to seek a free consultation before agreeing to work with any tax debt resolution service. Tax Group Center offers a free, no obligation consultation. But the company goes one step further to provide a 100% price protection policy, which means you won’t be charged more than the initial quote. Tax Group Center will not take in our case unless they believe they can negotiate with the IRS to reach a tax resolution that will satisfy you, as their customer.
Highly Experienced Attorneys, CPAs and Enrolled Agents with 30+ Years Experience
While some back taxes assistance agencies employ people who are not tax experts, TCG has a team of tax attorneys, CPAs, IRS Enrolled Agents and CTEC Certified Tax Consultants onboard to help you solve your back tax issues. The company has been in business for 12 years, with 30+ years of experience assisting consumers and businesses with back taxes and related financial services.

The company offers small business bookkeeping, tax preparation for businesses, individuals, and 1099 contractors, and a number of other services to help you file on time and reduce your tax liability.
If you have complicated returns that may include self-employment income and taxes, loan modifications, “income” from debt forgiveness, or major life changes such as a marriage, divorce or birth of a child, it’s a good idea to have a tax accountant help you file your taxes. This can help you file on time, avoid IRS audits, and minimize your tax bill or maximize your refund, since tax accountants understand the many deductions you might be eligible to receive.
Provides Services in All 50 States
Unlike many tax companies, TGC is licensed to serve taxpayers in all 50 states and can assist with federal, state, and local taxes.
Simple Three-Step Process
TGC has a simple, three-step process to help taxpayers find the back tax assistance they deserve quickly. The process uses the “3 S System,” focusing on Service, Solution, and Success. First, the company’s experienced tax attorneys, consultants, and CPAs will review your case during a free consultation. If they don’t believe they can help you achieve a resolution that will fit your budget, they will decline to work with you as a client. TGC wants their customers to see success. If they do feel a resolution is likely, they will propose a solution based on the variety of IRS programs available to help taxpayers in financial trouble. The TGC tax specialists will fill out the appropriate paperwork and negotiate with the IRS on your behalf. Finally, you will adhere to the terms of the IRS agreement. Once a settlement or payment agreement is made, your account will be considered in good standing. To avoid default, you must make all your tax payments as agreed upon and continue to file tax returns on time.
Variety of Services to Help Taxpayers Reduce Debt and Stop Collections
TGC uses all the solutions available to help taxpayers reduce or eliminate their back taxes and stop collections actions. Some of the solutions include penalty abatement, IRS Offers-in-Compromise, innocent spouse relief, currently not collectible (CNC) status, and partial pay installment agreements.
Stop Liens, Levies and Wage Garnishments
Facing wage garnishment due to unpaid tax bills can be a scary prospect. If the IRS is garnishing your wages, you may be unable to make other important payments, such as your rent, mortgage, or car loan, which can create an even deeper financial hole.
TGC can help you stop liens, levies and wage garnishments through a variety of tactics. The TGC team may even be able to keep a federal tax line off the public records so it won’t tarnish your credit rating or cause problems if you apply for loans or employment in the future.
