It started out as a pretty big issue, if not resolved, but he walked me through it and made our case with the IRS and everything turned out as he said it would. Highly recommend his services to anyone needing this assistance in their taxes.Posted on Google Peidong QiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have worked with Jeff Rice with my case. Jeff is very professional and responsible. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Justin SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dealing with the IRS is inconsistent at best, and typically a very stressful endeavor. I was lucky to have Jeff recommended to me through very trusted sources, and thankfully so. Jeff was able to work directly on my behalf with the IRS and over deliver with fantastic outcome. If you're not sure if you need assistance, or already know you do, absolutely give Rice Tax Law a call. I'm extremely happy I did.Posted on Google Mike YakoubaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cant recommend Jeff Rice enough. He was compassionate, professional, super knowledgeable and obviously knew the law in and out. He really helped me out during a very difficult time and lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. With him being a former IRS Attorney and being on both sides of the Tax Collection process, you really shouldn't be going anywhere else other than Jeff. I will 100 percent be sending everyone I know to Jeff and if I ever need this type of service ever again he will be my first call. Thank you Jeff!Posted on Google Tracy SmaciarzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Jeff was awesome. I requested help with 1120s taxes 2015 -2018 from a business that is shut down in 2015. Jeff was willing to help me, and provided detailed costs associated and how the process would work. I would recommend Jeff in the future. Thank you, Jeff.Posted on Google EricTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jeff helped me through a very difficult and stressful time in dealing with the IRS. He did so with compassion and competence. He literally made my life an order of magnitude better.Posted on Google J GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jeff is amazing! We had unexpectedly received a handful of notices in the mail, giving us only a few days to make payment in full. We had no idea how to respond or what to do. We feel so fortunate to have found someone with Jeff’s level of expertise, where he has experience from both sides of tax collection. The fact that he is actually practicing here in Vancouver, WA is also reassuring. His caring demeanor in communicating the different options we have, in a way we can understand, is truly appreciated. After consulting with him, we also learned that we had more time than we had originally expected, and could actually gather our thoughts and make clearer plans moving forward on how to respond. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Mark VeterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This review is long overdue. My apologies to Jeff for the delay. Jeff handled a tax case for my late mother's estate where she hadn't filed for a few years as her health was declining. Jeff, as a former attorney for the IRS, was very knowledgeable and explained all of my options and what he could try and do for me/my mom's estate. Jeff is also very personable and took the time to make sure I really understood my options. Due to not having filed for a few years, my mom's estate had accumulated a substantial interest/penalty fee on one year of taxes in particular. With one call, Jeff was able to get all of the penalties and a portion of the interest waived. He saved the estate a substantial sum, and his fee was worth every penny. I cannot recommend Rice Tax Law enough. If you're looking for an exceptional tax attorney who knows how to navigate the complex myriad of tax laws out there, look no further. Jeff Rice and Rice Tax Law should be the only call you have to make. Thanks, Jeff!!!Posted on Google Amir EweisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an issue with a previous years filing and owed money and penalties. The IRS didn't communicate what was going on properly. When I contacted Jeff, he was able to walk me through anything, take over all communication with the IRS and lower what I owed significantly. He kept me updated every step of the way and made it that I only needed to do the minimum. I cannot recommend him enough.Posted on Google Bhupinder SinghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rice Tax Law provided exemplary service when I faced tax issues.

His transparent communication and commitment to keeping me informed instilled trust throughout the process. I highly recommend Jeff and Rice Tax Law. Their professionalism, expertise, and personalized approach make them stand out. Thank you, Jeff, for your exceptional service and support!
