TaxMasters Clients

On March 18, 2012, subsequent to a lawsuit by the Attorney General of the State of Texas, the company filed for bankruptcy. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court appointed a Trustee to wind down the company’s affairs.  Concerned about the well-being of the approximately 4,000 TaxMasters clients who might be left without representation in their tax matters, the Texas Attorney General’s Office and Trustee contacted the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) in late April 2012. If you are a client of TaxMasters and are facing tax problems, TAS may be able to help.
