Fresh Start Tax Relief Services

What Fresh Start Tax Relief Services does

Fresh Start Tax Relief Services is a women-owned, Pasadena, California-based professional services firm specializing in IRS and state tax resolution for individuals and small-to-medium businesses. The firm delivers a comprehensive suite of tax debt relief services — Offer in Compromise, IRS Penalty Abatement, Installment Agreements, tax lien and levy resolution, unfiled return preparation, payroll and trust fund penalty help, state tax debt relief, and IRS audit representation — performed by licensed tax agents who negotiate directly with the IRS on the client's behalf. The service delivery model is sales-led: prospective clients initiate via a toll-free number (800-250-8884) or a web inquiry form for a free consultation, after which a customized resolution plan is developed.

The firm operates nationwide from a single Pasadena headquarters (1720 E Washington Blvd. #230) with 1–10 employees and serves clients across at least 15 U.S. states including California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Colorado, Washington, Idaho, Arizona, Maryland, Arkansas, Nevada, New Jersey, and Georgia. There is no proprietary software or technology platform; the value proposition rests entirely on the professional expertise of the licensed agents, their direct knowledge of IRS procedures, and a documented track record of case outcomes (e.g., a testimonial citing a $35,000 tax debt settled for $500 via Offer in Compromise).

Fresh Start generates revenue through fee-based professional services priced on a quote basis that is not publicly disclosed, supplemented by a 20% referral discount for clients who refer new customers. The company was previously known as '911 Tax Relief' and rebranded alongside a website launch in 2021, also adopting the 'Tax Superwomen' team branding. Marketing is conducted through a blog, email newsletter, client testimonials, and third-party review platforms such as ConsumerAffairs. Revenue, case volume, and ownership structure beyond the women-owned designation are not publicly disclosed, and there is no evidence of institutional funding, patents, or AI/technology capabilities.
