Advantage Tax Relief Inc

At the center of Advantage Tax Relief Inc. is our founder and owner, John Bruszewski. John is an elite tax controversy resolution specialist who brings an unmatched level of academic and financial expertise to the tax relief sector. He holds the highly prestigious designation of IRS Enrolled Agent (EA)—the highest credential awarded by the Department of the Treasury. Unlike standard accountants or tax preparers, Enrolled Agents are federally authorized tax practitioners who possess unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the Internal Revenue Service. John leverages this federal standing to serve as a powerful defensive shield and strategic advocate for individuals and businesses facing high-stakes tax crises.


John’s professional background is built on a formidable academic foundation. He earned his Bachelor’s degree from Marquette University and went on to complete his Master of Business Administration (MBA) at the respected Loyola University of Chicago. This advanced financial education allows John to approach complex tax problems through a macro-economic and strategic lens, solving sophisticated asset-protection issues that ordinary tax firms overlook. Since establishing Advantage Tax Relief Inc. in 1991, John has spent over three decades defending clients in Itasca, Illinois, the greater Chicagoland area, and across the nation against aggressive IRS collection actions.



Over Three Decades of Award-Winning Tax Controversy Resolution and Advocacy


Under John's expert guidance, Advantage Tax Relief Inc. has solidified its reputation as an industry leader in debt mitigation, audit defense, and tax problem solving. To ensure his clients receive the absolute highest caliber of defense strategy, John maintains active, high-level memberships in the country’s most authoritative tax defense organizations. He is a prominent member of both the American Society of Tax Problem Solvers (ASTPS) and the National Association of Tax Professionals (NATP). These exclusive networks keep John at the absolute cutting edge of emerging tax code modifications, IRS structural policies, and federal resolution programs.


John understands that tax problems cause intense personal stress, sleep deprivation, and financial anxiety. Because of this, he rejects generic, cookie-cutter "tax relief mills" in favor of customized, highly personalized tax relief solutions tailored to each client's unique financial situation. Whether he is negotiating an Offer in Compromise, securing currently-not-collectible status, removing tax liens, or stopping wage garnishments, John’s rigorous code-enforcement standards ensure maximum consumer protection. This uncompromising commitment to professional ethics and client satisfaction has earned Advantage Tax Relief Inc. a flawless Better Business Bureau (BBB) A+ Rating, an honor the firm has maintained through decades of transparent, honest local service.



A Dedicated Chicagoan with a Passion for Local Sports and Trails


When he steps away from advanced financial ledgers, audit room negotiations, and federal tax court proceedings, John is a deeply rooted member of the local community who believes in maintaining an active, balanced lifestyle. An avid cyclist, he can frequently be found out riding his bicycle along the expansive network of scenic Chicagoland bike trails, pursuing outdoor exploration with the same focus and endurance he brings to resolving a 10-year-old tax liability.


John is also a fiercely loyal and devoted Chicago sports fan. He consistently cheers on the Chicago Blackhawks and the Chicago Bears through every season, bringing the same high energy, competitive team spirit, and long-term loyalty to his home teams as he does to protecting the financial futures of his corporate and residential clients. This deep connection to the regional culture heavily dictates how he operates his business—treating every taxpayer who contacts his office with the neighborhood respect, upfront honesty, and genuine midwestern integrity they deserve.

It seems like natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, wild fires, and tornados are happening all the time and just about everywhere. Climate change also seems to be making these disasters more deadly and more destructive. Many people do step up to help survivors with needed financial donations. The only thing worse than the disasters themselves are the scammers that exploit these situations for financial gain at the expense of hard working and well-i ntentioned survivors and donors. Like yourself! Scams can take the form of fake charities and impostors posing as legitimate organizations or government agencies. Common scams typically entail vague appeals for donations without details, fake websites with names like real charities and caller ID tricks to appear legitimate. Several warnings signs of these scammers are: 1) pressure to give immediately, often preying on your emotions and not logic 2) a thank-you for a previous donation you don’t recall making 3) a request for payment by cash, gift card or wire transfer. The last are scammers’ favored payment methods because the money is easy to access, difficult to trace and almost impossible to cancel. A legitimate charity will welcome your donation whenever you choose to make it and by whatever means you choose. A great way to verify their legitimacy is to use the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search tool at https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/. Additionally, clients should always ask for a receipt and then check their bank or credit card statements to ensure the donation amount is accurate. If you think you were a victim of a suspected scam, you can and should report them to the Federal Trade Commission at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/.

First, working overtime does not mean you are getting an automatic increase in your take-home pay because it is not going to be taxed. That is not what is going to happen. The tax savings will be in the form of a tax deduction when you file your Federal tax return the following year. There will be no immediate impact. Second, it only applies for Federal income taxes. It does not include State, Social Security or Medicare taxes. Third, it also only applies to the overtime premium and within certain deduction and wage limits. You can only deduct the pay that exceeds your regular rate of pay. The 'half' portion of 'time-and-a-half' compensation. For example, say you make $20 per hour and work 5 hours of overtime that week at time-and-a-half. The deduction would the Federal tax on $50 of premium pay. ($20 divided by 2 times 5 hours) Finally, the maximum annual deduction is $12,500 for single filers and $25,000 for joint filers. The deduction phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $150,000 (or $300,000 for joint filers).
