About ScamTaxHelp
Powered by Shurek Accounting & Tax — Licensed CPAs
Who we are
Shurek Accounting & Tax is a licensed CPA firm specializing in complex tax situations — including scam victim theft loss deductions under IRC §165. We built ScamTaxHelp.com because too many victims of fraud were leaving money on the table, unaware that federal tax law may allow them to deduct their losses.
Why we built this
We kept seeing scam victims who had no idea they could deduct their losses. Most had been told by other CPAs that the TCJA eliminated theft loss deductions — which is only partially true. Investment-related fraud losses remain fully deductible under §165(c)(2). We created this resource to make that information — and our help — accessible to anyone who needs it.
🔒 Our commitment to confidentiality
We understand that being victimized by a scam can feel embarrassing or shameful — even though it absolutely should not. That is why every inquiry, every consultation, and every document you share with us is held in the strictest confidence under CPA-client confidentiality. We are ethically and legally bound never to disclose your information to anyone. You will never be judged here.
Our expertise
IRC §165(c)(2) allows deductions for losses from profit-motivated transactions. Investment fraud, crypto scams, Ponzi schemes, romance scams, and many other fraud types qualify under this provision. The law is clear — and we know how to apply it to maximize your deduction while building an IRS-defensible position.
