PitBullTax review: form-heavy collection work, including state POAs
Short answer
PitBullTax is built for the practitioner who already knows how to work a collection case and wants the forms to fill themselves. Its resolution evaluation, integrated IRS forms, and state power-of-attorney forms are its strengths. The lack of a public price makes it hard to budget as a one-person shop.

How does PitBullTax work for a one-person practice?
PitBullTax lists IRS transcript delivery with daily alerts, case management and billing, integrated IRS forms with supporting schedules, a client portal with chat, a step-by-step workflow, and a resolution evaluation that flags whether a client is a likely candidate for an offer in compromise, installment agreement, or currently-not-collectible status.
A detail that matters for solo work: the vendor lists state power-of-attorney forms for California, Illinois, New Jersey, Colorado, Florida, Texas, North Carolina, and New York. If your book has state balance-due clients, that saves hunting down forms.
It also lists an AI companion for questions about the Internal Revenue Manual and for drafting letters. Treat those answers as research leads to verify against the IRM itself.
