Questions people ask first
Is TaxCairn free?
Yes. TaxCairn is always free for you. We are a free information and matching service — participating tax professionals pay us a flat fee, never a share of your fees or of any money you save.
Are you a law firm?
No. We are not a law firm and we do not give legal or tax advice. We give plain-language information and connect you, at no cost, with a licensed tax attorney or tax-resolution professional.
Do I have to give my SSN or immigration status?
No. To get matched we only need a way to reach you and a few words about your situation. We never collect your SSN, ITIN, tax returns, or immigration documents. Filing and resolving taxes is separate from immigration status.
Can you promise the IRS will reduce what I owe?
No, and you should be careful of anyone who does. Outcomes depend on your specific situation. A good tax attorney will explain realistic options before promising anything.
