The IRS is actually pretty good to work with. As long as they see that you are putting in some effort they'll do the same. There is a lot of stigma against them but in my experiences it isn't warranted. If Optima is telling you not to work with them I'd want a good reason and a solid alternative path forward in writing.
My gut feeling is Optima is a waste of time and money. If anything find a tax accountant (not an online service) that specializes in trucking. But either way don't feel that you need to hide from the IRS when they reach out.
