What is Tax Defense Network?

Founded in 2007, Tax Defense Network helps with a wide variety of tax debt issues, pending tax problems and the prevention of tax liabilities. Its team of EAs, CPAs and tax attorneys allows clients to get tax relief, no matter how severe their tax problem is. Its website is also full of helpful resources such as forms, calculators and downloadable tax guides.

How does Tax Defense Network work?

After your initial free consultation, the tax professional will conduct a thorough analysis of your tax situation. The company will not give you a price quote until it has reviewed your case thoroughly. Based on the analysis, the tax professional will develop a strategy for resolving your tax problems. This may involve negotiating with the IRS or state tax authorities on your behalf, preparing tax returns or filing appeals.

Tax Defense Network FAQ

Can I resolve tax issues without a resolution company?

Yes, you can deal with the IRS directly. However, dealing with the IRS can be complicated and time-consuming, and you might not get the outcome you're hoping for. Even if you are unsure if you should hire a tax professional or do-it-yourself, a free consultation can be helpful.

How long does the tax resolution process take?

The process can vary depending on how complicated your tax situation is and how fast you get your paperwork in order. A few Tax Defense Network customer reviews said that the process took them between three and six months. The company says it takes on average from six to 12 months and its team can give a more definite timeline after your initial consultation.

Can Tax Defense Network guarantee results?

No, the Tax Defense Network does not guarantee that you will reduce your tax bill with the IRS. Additionally, it does not offer any refunds or money-back offers if you’re dissatisfied.

Does Tax Defense Network offer payment plans?

Yes. Tax Defense Network says most clients are eligible for affordable payment plans starting at $99.

Is Tax Defense Network legit?

Tax Defense Network is a legitimate company that holds many certifications, including from the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA), the American Society of Tax Problem Solvers (ASTPS) and the National Association of Tax Professionals (NATP). The company says that it has helped over tens of thousands of clients with over $9 billion of tax liabilities.

    They just helped me resolve a tax bill that would have been impossible to pay. The reduced the cost to about 20% of the original amount. They were friendly and fast. They originally said it could take a few months and had it resolved in a few weeks! Incredible work!

      My experience with Tax Defense Network was short lived, but positive. After reviewing my case, the knowledgeable consultant advised that I was in the best position already on my long-term payment plan and that anything Tax Defense Network could do would not be economical for me. I appreciated the honesty and non-pushy sales strategy...something that is hard to come by nowadays.

      I spoke to someone that sounded competent. I thought things would be ok. Then, they passed me off to people who immediately tried to steal my identity and control my finances without even pretending to care or understand my situation and without ever saying a single word to me. I can't describe how disgusting they are. Don't even consider talking to any people ever associated with this company.

      Tax Defense is a joke, they steal money from you and don't even try to do their job, they are liars, and when you call them about a issue or information they avoid you. They are a 1 million percent ripoff, I would not trust this company with a dead snake.

      They charged us at least $3000 just to get my husband into non collectible status with the IRS because we are poor and his sister used his name, he owed the irs $15000 with interest from 2021, only finding out he owes for 2021 the end of 2022. However the irs still seized our collective refund money; $2000 last year, $10'900+ this year. Tax Defense didn't stop that, nor did they try to also negotiate us onto a payment plan with the irs. They just half way did anything: putting us in non collectible status. It's ridiculous. Do that yourself. Do not pay these thieves.

      Response from Tax Defense Network

      Hello, Rachael. As discussed in communications with our team, owing a balance to the IRS places a taxpayer's refund at risk. While establishing a resolution, such as currently not collectible can prevent aggressive IRS action against you, your bank account, or wages, it does not eliminate the debt. So, future refunds can be offset to pay down the existing balance.

      If your husband would like to discuss his service experience with our team, he may contact us at tdncares@taxdefensenetwork.com.

      I signed up with the Tax Defense Network with high hopes and promises of a fast resolution to get my back taxes completed. That was six months ago. I’ve paid over $2200 and nothing has been done. I reached out multiple times and no one calls me back. 6 weeks in I finally got my account manager to send me over the paperwork to fill out. I sent it back in two days with a question regarding them accessing my QuickBooks to get all the financials. The account rep told me he is not a bookkeeper and he proceeded to ghost me. I called and explained I don’t need a bookkeeper. All of my stuff is input, the manager assigned me a new account rep and gave me free bookkeeping. I wanted to make this work.

      The account rep called me immediately, sent me the paperwork. I filled it out and sent it back. Two weeks later I reached out again, verified they received my information for the next three weeks. I would get a one-word response email not answering my questions and then she wanted to schedule a call for three weeks after that. They strung me along for six months, not doing anything at all to help my situation which was dire because my son will be going to college in the fall and I need to fill out the FASFA. I finally got my account closed three weeks after I asked for it to be closed. They’re trying not to issue me a refund. I have all of the interactions with everyone documented showing that nothing’s been done and they’re still trying to keep my money.
