Mike and Megan are amazing! They were able to help out a very close family friend and reduce his IRS debt by about 20k with an offer in compromise. Mike and Megan are very professional and were always available to answer any questions we had. They were very detailed and very patient and always made sure our friend understood each step throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend the Highland Tax Group.

Early in 2019, I received a notice that our 2017 tax return was not correct and was being selected for an exam. The IRS proposed an assessment of $8,000 in tax and $2,000 in penalty. Knowing the IRS was wrong I challenged the IRS but got nowhere on my own. So I decided we needed representation and found Highland Tax Group, Inc. After nearly 7 months of back and forth, Mike J. Wallen, EA with Highland Tax Group, Inc. reached a settlement of zero dollars owed. Bottom line, hire a professional if you want to get the attention of the IRS, and moreover, get your case resolved.

I met first met Mike Wallen a couple of years ago at a business networking group. Besides, being a personable and great guy, I could tell right away he was well-versed in tax resolution issues. Then, I hired Mike to help fix an IRS debacle from 2016. If anyone has tried to do this on their own, they know what a tangled web of bureaucracy the IRS is. Mike resolved in a few short communications what I had been trying to resolve with the IRS for 18 months. He also kept me updated in writing and by phone the entire time. He is a true professional. recommend Mike and his team to anyone who comes across an IRS or other tax resolution issue.

I have nothing but the highest of praise for Mike Wallen at Highland Tax Group. I came to Mike at a most difficult time with an IRS tax situation that was overwhelming and seemed hopeless. Mike took immediate action to assist me. He was kind, understanding, non-judgmental, patient, persistent and thorough. Mike has taken care to surround himself with like-minded support staff, as well as through an Offer In Compromise, Mike was able to negotiate a remarkable deal for me with the IRS. He restored my peace of mind and helped me get my head out of the sand. Thank you, Mike and Megan!

Highland Tax Group is a group of professionals who take the high road and know their business. They, like all Pros, know the ins and more importantly know the outs of your dilemmas. Entrepreneurs move into self-employment to separate ourselves from the rest in our profession. We do this because we know our jobs and our abilities, and have proven that by way of our service to our customers. However, sometimes we so caught up in our commitment to our customers with the quality of what we do, OUR JOBS, we fall short in our obligations, “to the business” thinking we can handle it all. We then push aside our obligations, and, THEN LIFE HAPPENS, and it’s difficult to get caught up afterward. In my circumstance, I fell short to tragedies… 3 floods, 1 fire, and losing my 28-year-old only son to an automobile accident. If not for Highland Tax Group and their expertise, asking the right questions and helping me to get the information organized in a way for them to help me, I would have surely lost everything to the IRS. Highland Tax Group, Inc. asked the right questions and hold you responsible and accountable for your own sake…. my father once told me if you’re in a position where you need a prizefighter, hire the best, and don’t tie their hands behind their backs, let them do their job. Mike Wallen with Highland Tax Group, Inc. was referred to me by my accountant, Troy Coon who for many years gained my trust and had my back, saw me in trouble, and couldn’t have given me better advice, than to talk with Mike.  I couldn’t have received better advice. It’s a process that will at times seem impossible… but have faith in Mike and Megan they are truly the pros that I will never again be without! I know we rate our engagement with people and business with stars, but there are not enough Stars I can give to the debt I owe these people. They truly care and will with your help (accountability), make the biggest difference in your dilemma.  In short, Mike and Megan helped me to be forgiven for 57,000 dollars of tax debt! 1. It didn’t start out that way, I truly only owed a fraction of that, but with interest and penalties and not knowing what to do….just like you…I needed to do something.2. It became a mountain that I couldn’t climb.3. Hire the professionals and put that mountain behind you!!! With their help, you can climb it!!4. Thank you Mike..  and thank you, Megan, for helping me get my life back.5.  A short note, what we like to think we have is “integrity”, it’s something we think we have but our follow through is the most overlooked part of integrity’s definition. This group of professionals has integrity in abundance. Thank you again Highland Tax Group!
