Steve Clark · client of 12 years

"I thought I owed the IRS like $300,000. I had an accountant previously that had died on me, and he filed a return one year and said I had made a lot more money than I really had … I ended up paying them very little. And 12 years later, I don't owe them any money."

Hello, my name is Steve Clark. My friend Bernice Hassan has been my CPA for, I would think, like 12 years now. And when I first met her, I was in dire straits.

I owed the IRS — I thought I owed them like $300,000. I had an accountant previously that had died on me, and he filed a return one year and said I had made a lot more money than I really had, and it was over $300,000. And the reality was I probably made $50,000 or $70,000 a year, and the IRS had come after me for that. And I got behind with them, and the next thing you know, I owed them for like five or six years. And I hired another person, and that didn't work out at all — he just took my money.

So I got with Bernice, and we went back to the year where my accountant had died, and we got it all straight with the IRS. I ended up paying them very little. And 12 years later, I don't owe them any money. I got a $12,000 tax refund this year from them.

And she's been great. I have a business with over five, six million dollars a year and over 15 employees on the average. And it's a lot of bookkeeping, a lot of paperwork, and she has a great staff. Nila and Kennedy — they've done great for me in the last couple of years.

And I can only say great things about her. She definitely knows how to negotiate with the IRS. She knows what she's doing. She knows all the ins and outs — just simple things like trying to call them on the phone. If you ever try to do that, it's not easy. She knows how to get right through to them and get right down and take care of business.

Anyway, thank you, Bernice, for all your help over the years. And to any potential customers, I hope this helps them. Thank you.

A $90,000 balance, settled at $50 a month

"She and her team found I owed over $90,000, and they were able to get the late payment fees and all that stuff off of me, and also get me set up on a $50-a-month payment plan … we will have saved over $84,000."

I want to give a shout-out to Bernice and her team about the good job she's done for us. When I hired Bernice, I'd gone through a seminar that she had and realized I was way over my head with my taxes.

She and her team found I owed over $90,000, and they were able to get the late payment fees and all that stuff off of me, and also get me set up on a $50-a-month payment plan. Which means that by the time we get through with this payment plan, we will have saved over $84,000 — by paying only $50 a month toward our plan.

Bernice, thank you for protecting our passport and protecting us as far as liens or anything else goes. I do appreciate your hard work and your team. Thank you.

A $106,678 balance, and no bankruptcy

"I was drowning in IRS tax debt … They developed a plan with the IRS that accepted an installment plan with a potential write-off of $76,295."
Read the full transcript (3:18)

Good morning. I wanted to come on and talk about what Bernice Hassan and her team did for me these last few months. I was drowning in IRS tax debt, and they practically saved me, and I wanted to tell anyone who's in the situation that I'm in, or worse, to please reach out to them, because they did a phenomenal job in decreasing my tax debt.

My account was put on a collection hold — I owed the IRS $106,678. Collection was put on hold with a notice of intent to levy. They developed a plan with the IRS that accepted an installment plan with a potential write-off of $76,295. So in about two, three years I'll be completely debt-free. I couldn't have done that without them.

I was working with another attorney before I reached out to Bernice and her team, who wanted me to file for bankruptcy, which totally would have ruined my credit and so on and so forth. But I saw her advertisement on social media and I reached out to her, and she just went in like a bulldozer and got to working with the IRS, and she connected me with Miss Nyla, who was truly, truly a dream come true.

They diligently stayed on the case with the IRS, working with them — I mean, speaking with them every day for hours at a time, until they were able to reach an agreement for something that I can afford financially. They were always accessible. They always return my calls. They always text me. They always keep me informed and up to date on the progress of my case.

So I am a very pleased client. Even after everything was settled, they still reach out to me to make sure everything's okay, and that if I have any questions or any concerns, to contact them. So I just want everyone to know: please give them a chance. You will not be disappointed. They will work for you. They will fight for you. I am a very pleased client of theirs, and I cannot say enough about what they've done for me. I can go to sleep at night without any worries, knowing that I am going to be debt-free in a couple of years. Thank you for listening.

Official IRS Notices. Real Client Cases.

These are official IRS installment agreement notices from actual client cases. For privacy and security, client names, taxpayer identification numbers, and addresses have been redacted. The figures, dates, payment terms, and tax years shown are presented as issued by the IRS.

A monthly payment is what the IRS agreed to collect, not the balance forgiven. Where an agreement runs its full term, part of the debt can expire unpaid under the collection statute — that is a potential outcome, not a completed one, and it depends on the agreement being kept and circumstances not changing. Results depend on individual circumstances, including income, assets and filing history. Prior outcomes do not guarantee similar results in your case. Full disclosures.
