165 Services History

 

165 Services began literally by accident. In the discovery phase of a Ponzi Scheme court case in 2001, the perpetrator of the investment scheme learned that the CPA for one of the victims had deducted his clients Ponzi Losses as a Casualty Deduction; specifically, as a Section 165 Casualty Theft Deduction. Through this discovery the 165 Services industry was born.

 

Developed originally as a compliment to another organization, which assisted tax payers in locating attorney's who would arbitrate brokerage firm investment losses and abuses; only to discover that many of these rogue brokerages were uncollectable or simply defunct. A Section 165 (c)(2) Casualty Theft Deduction arose as the only potential for recovery for many of these injured tax payers to recover, through tax benefits, from the abuses of others.

 

165 Services located in Tampa, Florida had taken a universally overlooked, misunderstood, esoteric section of the IRS Tax Code; existing since 1954; into the mainstream world of tax law assistance. Grasping the modifications applied to this tax code section through various Tax Reform Acts, 165 Services established itself as a position of authority by assisting hundreds of fraud victims to date with filing claims for benefit; delivering millions of dollars in tax benefits, primarily refunds, for victims of investment fraud.

 

To this day, 165 Services continues to reach out to thousands of investment fraud victims every year, notifying these tax payers that all is not lost and help is still available through a Section 165 Casualty Theft Deduction.

After a confidential, pre-qualification interview, hundreds of victims each year accept our offer to file a claim for benefit through our proven, all-inclusive, contingency based service.

 

Earning your trust and cooperation is a value that drives us; allowing 165 Services to continue our long tradition of assisting investment fraud victims obtain the maximum tax benefits they are entitled to by law.
