ToshTax, LLC

If you are going to use Mr. Grebenik’s services, I advise you to get a complete, written contract that details how your account will be handled before you pay even a retainer. In February 2026, I contacted Tosh Tax with my significant other for help resolving an IRS error that had resulted in the IRS miscalculating personal income taxes due, and incorrectly withholding several years of tax refunds. Tosh Grebenik listened to the issue and we agreed that he would contact the IRS as our representative, get transcripts for the past ten years, review the transcripts and advise us of the steps needed to resolve the issue. For that service, I paid Mr. Grebenik a $500 retainer. Subsequently, Mr. Grebenik did not contact us again, nor did he return repeated phone calls or emails. During that time, we watched his website grow. Finally, in early May 2026, as the IRS threatened further action, we phoned Mr. Grebenik from a cell number unfamiliar to him, and he answered the phone immediately. He actually said to us that he answered only because he did not recognize the number. We did not let him off the phone, but asked him to advise of what he had found in his review of the tax transcripts. It was apparent that he was getting the transcripts as we were talking, and reading them for the first time. In fact, the copy of the transcripts he received from the IRS that he emailed to us was dated that very day. His advice was to let the matter go, meaning, let the IRS take and keep almost $20,000 my friend did not owe, because to have Tosh Tax handle the issue would cost more than $20,000. And that may have been his best advice, however, his failure to timely act and his failure to return phone calls was totally unacceptable. In effect, I paid him $500 for the 15 minutes on the phone in May as he read the transcripts and tried to interpret them. In September, we were able to get a Tax Advocate from the IRS’s Tax Advocate Service. The Tax Advocate read the transcripts, immediately saw the IRS’s error, and my friend was issued a full refund with interest within 30 days. Based on our experience, I would not recommend ToshTax.
