Bigger Isn’t Always Better: Valor Tax Relief Founder Exposes the Truth Behind the Tax Resolution Industry
Karim Hanna shares lessons from 25 years in the business and why clients deserve more than empty promises and scripted sales tactics.
After 25 years in the tax resolution industry, Karim Hanna, founder of Valor Tax Relief, is sounding the alarm on what taxpayers need to know before hiring a firm to represent them against the IRS.
“I’ve seen it all—the good, the bad, and unfortunately, the ugly,” says Hanna. “And while I don’t claim to be the best, I’ve worked with some of the largest firms in the country. What I’ve seen from the inside should make every taxpayer think twice before signing up with a company just because they saw an ad on TV.”
Hanna explains that many large tax relief companies prioritize high-volume sales and aggressive advertising over real resolution. “Big firms spend millions on radio, TV, and billboard ads. But what clients don’t see is that this often leaves little room in the budget for seasoned attorneys or experienced resolution staff.”
Instead, clients are often handed off to minimum-wage case managers or newly licensed professionals, and after spending thousands, may receive resolutions they could have managed on their own—or worse, end up in a more compromised position.
“Let’s be honest,” says Hanna. “If you owe someone $10,000 but are driving a Porsche and living in a beach house, are they going to let you settle for $100? The IRS won’t either. And that’s the reality we need to prepare clients for.”
Central to IRS resolution is Form 433-A, a financial diagnostic tool used to assess a taxpayer’s collectability. But, as Hanna explains, “It doesn’t show the human side—death in the family, job loss, disasters—it just shows the numbers. That’s why you need an expert who knows how to read that data and build a smart, personalized strategy.”
At Valor Tax Relief, the focus is on transparency, realism, and strategic advocacy. “We don’t make promises we can’t keep. If you don’t qualify for an Offer in Compromise, we’ll tell you. What we will do is fight to find the solution that works, and we’ll never waste your time or money doing otherwise.”
“Our motto is simple,” Hanna concludes. “Under-promise. Over-deliver. Always tell the truth. That’s what clients deserve.”
