About Tax Resolution Help Center
Tax Resolution Help Center (TRHC) is a trade name (or DBA) of EveryDayCPA, Inc.
Kelly Coughlin, CPA, CEO, of EveryDayCPA, Inc., created the TRHC trade name to provide a for-profit service partner option to non-profit members of Tax Resolution Help Center Company, a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity.
1. Why create a for-profit service partner for a non-profit company?
Kelly created the non-profit Tax Resolution Help Center Company non-profit (TRHC-NP) solution to help taxpayers suffering from stress that often accompanies overdue tax balances. Fewer than 20% of taxpayers elect to deal with their tax liabilities themselves, with only 10% electing to hire a professional; leaving 70% that do nothing. This results in financial and emotional stress on both the businesses and families that frequently results in dysfunction and abuse; worry and fear.
TRHC-NP's activities include a commitment to encourage taxpayers to: 1) deal with their tax liabilities; 2) empower and inform them to resolve it themselves; and 3) make an informed decision to select a professional to assist them at a reasonable and fair price. Kelly, as CEO of EverydayCPA, Inc., created TRHC to meet that non-profit service commitment.
2. Why is there a need for TRHC?
Approximately 25 million people owe the IRS over $83 billion in back taxes. Between January 1, 2017 and June 30, 2019 alone, nearly one million federal and state tax liens were filed against taxpayers in all 50 states, representing claims on nearly $129 billion in taxpayer assets. TRHC-NP was created to teach people how they can reduce, remove and resolve their tax balances themselves using the TriTax Do-It-Yourself (DIY) method.
TRHC knows that while knowledge is power, not everyone is a DIY'er. To help those TRHC-NP members wanting expert assistance, TRHC created TriTax Do-It-Together (DIT) and TriTax Do-It-All (DIA) direct service options. TRHC contracts with tax resolution professionals (Tax Experts) to provide these direct service options.
3. Who are TRHC Tax Experts?
TRHC holds superior customer-focused service as a core value. Therefore, before a tax resolution expert is permitted to provide TriTax DIT or DIA services to a TRHC-NP member as a TRHC Tax Expert, they must first demonstrate their commitment to superior customer-focused service. All TRHC Tax Experts provide pro bono educational services to TRHC-NP members by teaching the TriTax Do-It-Yourself (DIY) method.
