Five Star Tax Resolution Review
Complex tax matters over $20,000, led by a long-practising tax attorney. Independent Five Star Tax Resolution review: 0/5 for tax relief.
By Michael Hewitt, Founder & Editor-in-Chief.
Our verdict
Five Star won't take tax debt under $20,000, a floor that rules out most individual taxpayers, and fees are set only after a consultation. Above that line, it's led by a tax attorney with more than 30 years in practice, which matters when a case may end in litigation. Ask for the fee in writing before you commit.
Skip it if you owe less than $20,000, or if your case is simple enough that you don't need a lawyer.

What we like
- Attorney-led, which matters where the case may end in litigation
- Does not pretend to serve small balances it would not take
Where it falls short
- The $20,000 floor rules out most individual taxpayers
- Fees are not published and are set after a consultation
- No CFPB complaint record under this name, which is an absence of evidence rather than a clean record
