Our Legacy
50 years in the tax industry
Our family business was built on trust, quality, and hard work. It started with Bill Sharpe and grew into Total Income Tax — today the busiest tax office in Peoria, with 13 year-round employees and up to 20 during tax season. In 2016 we launched Total IRS Relief as a stand-alone firm focused on one thing: helping taxpayers crushed by IRS and Illinois tax problems. With over 50 years in the tax industry, our Enrolled Agents are federally licensed to represent taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states.
Our Promise
No empty promises.
We don't make empty promises or set unrealistic expectations of what we can accomplish with the IRS. We treat every client with the same respect our family business was built on. We are committed to working hard to get you the best resolution allowed by law — and we handle the entire process, lifting the burden of paperwork and IRS communication off your back.
Our Difference
Up front and honest.
Up front and honest. No bait-and-switch fees, no scary scripts, no offshore call center reading from a flowchart. You talk to the same Enrolled Agents who work your case — from your first call to the day the IRS closes your file.
Why We Do This
We're on your side.
If you work with us, we will fight for you and help you live a happy and peaceful life — regardless of your current tax debt situation. Remember: we're on your side.
