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.

Still have questions?

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.

    We called TDN and explained our Tax situation thoroughly, from unfiled returns to a need to electronically file 2024 for college tuition aide purposes. The return was already filed but hadn't showed up on the IRS system. We were told that TDN had its own portal to file electronically, it did not. We were told that we could submit our unfiled, yet completed, tax returns and they would also file them through that same portal. We had a substantial tax debt that also needed to be addressed; it wasn't. We were later told they could only file the returns if they prepared them, which, of course would've cost a few thousand more than the original price quote. A month past yet they had still accomplished nothing, especially the filing the 2024 (already) completed return.

    I finally made an appointment without a local IRS office. Within one hour, we submitted all the unfiled returns and got the entire existing tax debt eliminated... at no cost. Tax Defense Network accomplished none of the tasks we originally requested and were assured they could. We are currently seeking a full return of our money from them but have only been offered 1/2 of what we paid to this point ($1,815). I've had a very difficult time contacting them by phone and through emails, sometimes taking days to be returned. Not only would I not recommend TDN, but I would actively discourage anyone from doing business with them.

      I owed taxes and got ahold of Tax Defense Network right away. I Googled, liked their name and called them. Most of the people I talked to were very nice. Some people are hard to get ahold of, but with the way the world is today, it's not surprising. I've been in sales forever and the lady that was in charge of my case was a little sharp, but she wasn't warm and fuzzy. When someone's in sales, they should be. People want to talk to somebody really nice. The men were great, but the lady could be warmer and fuzzier. Other than that, she did her job, even though she kept asking me for taxes that I've already done and sent her. I would go through so much stress worrying about it and of what's going to happen.

      Tax Defense Network placed me on a non-collectible 'cause I'm on disability. I had to give them power of attorney, then they told me I had to do it again. I said, "I already did it." It got frustrating. Besides that, I've got them half paid off, and I hope to pay them off this week. Hopefully, what they did doesn't just dissolve and whatever they did sticks. I want to be clear from the IRS coming and taking my couch and my bed. I still get anxiety over that. Tax Defense Network took a lot of money off. I don't know if I could have gotten it cheaper somewhere else, but it was not so bad I didn't do it. I don't know if I would refer them though.

      While I had another company, their communication was very poor. Tax Defense was good with their communication when I tried them. I didn't know what was going on and they helped me with the IRS taxes that I owe for a couple of years. The rep communicated well, which was what I was looking for. She informed me of some things, and dealing with her was great. But I filed for bankruptcy and my program has been stopped for now. So, no resolution has been made.

      I had a great experience with Tax Defense Network. They helped me with a little of everything, tax preparation, and helping me review past taxes that I didn't know I missed. The enrollment process was very easy. It was just a matter of going through a phone interview, understanding what the process was gonna be. They eliminated fears of getting a lien against personal accounts or personal assets. So, it was a great, very easy, and straightforward process.

      From 2018 forward, I had two years that was a mess of business and personal taxes, so we needed Tax Defense Network to go backwards as well to fix from 2015 forward. It was all straight. I had 38 people involved and they would ghost me for months because of turnover. I wouldn't get told that they were not working for them anymore, so I went back and did a tracking of who I communicated to and how and what we said and who was responsible for what. I got dropped too many times for several months at a time with no contact. I would have to call and get ahold of the highest ranking person that I possibly could, and I had to do that no less than five times to get put back on track.

      We had to start back from square one because they said, “I have everything.” And they'd say, “Here. It's done.” “No, you don't have everything. You didn't go back through.” I had a nightmare and I am not exaggerating by one person, because I had 38 people working on the case that I had to go through to get 5 years. That's not the excuse. They had everything that they required, and I would work diligently. I have my master's in business, so I know what they need when they ask for it. And they were given that and more in great detail with itemized spreadsheets and all the attachments included. They would get a table of contents, then they would get each attachment individually, and I would give them an itemized explanation of everything that they asked for. It's not like there was disorganization that it was difficult, made it difficult for them to complete. That wasn't it.

      We left Colorado in 2020, meaning there were no taxes to be done and our business was closed in 2020. I was never told that the 2020 taxes were yet to be done until Heather found out in 2024 or 2025 that Tax Defense isn't licensed to do Colorado. That cost me massive fees and late fees etc. because unfortunately, I relied on Tax Defense Network to communicate with everybody this is what I'm told. $8,000 is what the debt should have owed. It's now over $36,000 and they have sent me to collections. That's just from a lack of communication.

      I had one person in the final hours who was the only person who stuck with me to finish it out, and her name was Heather. She is the only reason that my accounts are complete. She is the only one that I will give an absolute positive 5 stars because she told me the same thing that everybody else had said prior. “I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going to drop you.” She did not drop me and did not go anywhere. We finished it. We should have had it done in 2019 and it took until just a few months ago. We kept having to add years and add years, so 2019 to 2025. It was a nightmare, a lot of lost sleep, so I cannot give Tax Defense positive stars.

      Hello, Mary. Our records indicate that our team has worked with you since 2018 on a variety of services, many of which were tax preparations. As filing compliance is needed to establish your chosen resolution, any delays in completing returns will ultimately push back our completion dates as well. This, of course, fails to include the additional time that any added services may take.

      We are disappointed to hear of your dissatisfaction with your service experience but are happy to hear that we were able to turn things around during your final contract with us.

      Your feedback is important to us and will certainly be reviewed internally to determine how we can improve our processes in the future.

      I received a letter from the IRS that I had a couple years of returns that had not been filed, so they were trying to put liens and levies on me. I hired Tax Defense Network to help resolve the issue since they had good reviews. I got on the phone with them then they asked me for a credit card number, which I gave them. After that, I didn't hear from anybody for a long time and I had to reach out to them to ask what were they doing. In the meantime, I continued to receive letters from the IRS. I finally got assigned to an agent and her name was Jane. She was handling my case, but she really didn't do anything. Ultimately, the IRS ended up putting a lien on my bank account and they took all of the funds I had in my bank at the time.

      During this time, I was going through a brief period of unemployment, so I didn't have any money at all. And it was because Jane was not doing what she was supposed to be doing. She said she was faxing a power of attorney and these different things to the IRS to let them know they were handling it, but the revenue officer at the IRS was telling me that they got nothing. So, even though Tax Defense Network told me not to talk to the IRS saying that it was better for them to handle all communications with the IRS, I had to speak directly with the revenue officer, and I was able to get him to release some of my funds back to me. But it was something I shouldn't have had to do if I was hiring Tax Defense Network to do all this for me.

      So those positive reviews about them were not accurate because aside from my horrible experience, I later discovered that they had a lot of really bad reviews as well. Right now, I still have Tax Defense Network because I was already entangled with them with all of my stuff. I also asked them to file my taxes for last year, which I did with them and I continued paying them. Everything's okay with that, but I'm still dealing with the IRS. Other than that, my agent, Jane, eventually got fired because she wasn't helping her customers and the next person I worked with was Mabertine. So far, I haven't heard from the IRS in a while, so I don't know what she's doing.

      But one of the things that they promised me before I signed up with them was that they would be able to negotiate a lower amount than what I owe. Then after I signed up with them, they kept telling me they couldn't do anything to reduce that amount and that I was going to have to pay the same amount to the IRS. I regret ever finding Tax Defense Network and I would tell my friends to stay away from them. They made everything worse for me. It seems like there are a lot of similar companies that are doing the same sort of thing and you'd be better off if you just do everything on your own.

      The IRS was about an inch away from coming in on me. My girlfriend did the research and sent me Tax Defense Network's number. Enrollment required a lot of paperwork, a lot of stuff I couldn't do because I was in a big truck driving around, then when I was home, everybody was closed. The rep, Dimitri, was very nice and professional, and she's been working hard. I sent her a bunch of stuff again and I get an email or a text from Dimitri. While I would appreciate a faster response, she's busy with a lot going on. I should have less money owed, but Tax Defense Network is only doing by law what they can. I'm still ineligible to pay status and then a three-and-a-half-year process, and it's been fun. I'm happy so far. I recommended someone and he's currently in the process of getting hooked up with them.

      At the time I got Tax Defense Network, I thought they were better qualified. But I'm not the happy camper they think I am. They had me in a deferment plan. The debt is over two years old and they claimed that it's almost to the point where they can't collect on it. This time around, they should have been able to get me a tax forgiveness, but they keep saying I'm not qualified for it.

      Tax Defense Network has been a very good experience. Everyone that I've worked with was incredibly helpful. They answered my questions right away and apologized if they didn't get back to me on the same day. I was a little uneasy working with someone far away. But I'm not working with just one person. I'm working with a bunch of people and doing the bookkeeping as well. They have a really good salesman named Ryan that talked me off the ledge and I feel a lot better about making the decision to do that.

      I'm more at the beginning of the process. We finished reviewing what my tax person had done and they found it to be correct and explained why. But it really took a lot of time for me to talk to another accountant who does wine taxes for people in the wine industry and she's the one that explained to me about filing accrual instead of cash. I brought that back to Ryan, who worked really hard on getting all of my questions answered.

      I'm now at the stage of waiting to talk to somebody about that amendment and about moving forward. There is also a lady that I need to send my statements to and I haven't had a chance to do that yet.

      My anxiety was all over the place and Tax Network helped me out. I needed help because I owe the IRS a lump sum of money. The IRS had sent me a letter talking about levying stuff, wage, garnishment, and I can't do those. So, that's why I was reaching out.

      When I reached out to Tax Network, I spoke to a guy named Harold, who was very informational and understanding. He explained the process and answered my questions. He was very consistent with the time that he told me he would reach out. And he told me that if I had any more questions, even though he's gonna be dealing with someone else, to feel free to reach back out to him. I felt that that was very nice of him.

The second person that I was dealing with was Jawanda, and she was amazing, too. They knew exactly what they were talking about. They handed all of the information to me, told me exactly what to expect, what I needed to know and the whole nine yards. They worked with me and let me make payments. So, that was awesome. Tax Defense did their job and it relaxed my train of thought. I got the paperwork from Tax Defense to go home and everything was worked out, but the IRS turned my debt over to a collection agency. So I have to pay the collection agency now.

      It’s been almost two years and still nothing has been officially filed with the IRS. Every call I receive from this company is nerve-racking. I provide every piece of information that is required. Even after combing through with a fine-tooth comb. Six months past then now we have to resubmit everything because it has expired. I feel as if the run around is calculated. I waited so long to write a review in fear of retaliation. Because they have ALL of my personal information. After thousands of dollars, hundreds of phone calls, hundreds of emails. Still nothing has been found. I’m ready to sue for my money back now. Stress-free my ***!!! Now, a whole new tax year is about to start and I guarantee they will need more information. I wish there was an option for no stars!!! What a Joke of a company!!!

      I was referred to Tax Defense Network and I had a few hiccups at the beginning. The language barrier with the person that I was originally working with was awful. It sounded like she was just reading off a script and really didn't have time for me. Tax Defense Network needs to be very careful. I understand that everybody's entitled to have a job, but if there's a language barrier, that needs to be addressed, especially if somebody's just reading from a script. I was making some important decisions and I needed to be able to understand exactly what I was signing up for.

      I requested to be assigned a different person and the language was great. But again, it was like they didn't have time for me. The rep that I was assigned to was okay with answering questions, but her supervisor, Jessica, was much better. She had a little more of a customer service feel when I asked questions rather than pushing me aside and giving me a general statement. "We really don't know how to answer this. But here's what we can tell you." It wasn't fluid.

      Also, when it came down to the final arrangement with the IRS, the amount that Tax Defense Network first told me was incorrect. I was almost gonna be paying close to twice as far as what I'm paying now. That part of it was a little dicey for me. My experience was stressful, especially when the wrong dollar amount was disclosed. The IRS even sent me documents for the wrong dollar amount. I had to get a little pushy and say, "That's not what I agreed to. I'm not signing off on this. You guys need to fix this." I was able to back it up because I had the email from the supervisor, then they said, "We're making the adjustment. We have to reach out to the IRS." It was another almost two months before it all got resolved. Now that it's resolved, I'm feeling some relief.

      The first person that I worked with at Tax Network, Demetria, was non-responsive. It was months. I had a deadline to meet for my daughter's FAFSA application. It was just poor communication. Then also initially, I had financed half of the amount I would pay for Tax Network’s services and then would pay the other half. I mailed in a check. But they stopped my services for weeks because of nonpayment. But it wasn't supposed to be that way. There were a lot of delays. I've also worked with Heather and I just didn't feel like she was very friendly. I was also supposed to get a refund at one point because I was paying for services and I was not getting services.

      I had several different individuals that helped me at Tax Defense. Everyone was very helpful. I did have a situation where there was a breakdown in communication and I was dropped as a client. But after an explanation of what took place, I was quickly brought back on, and as a consequence, my case was able to continue. So that situation was reconciled. From there, I've had nothing but a great experience and my case dragged on for years.

      Tax Defense was very forthright and truthful with me in terms of letting me know that my tax bill wasn't gonna go away, but it could be negotiated to something that could work out and I could handle. They didn't sugarcoat anything. They didn't have any false propaganda. I really appreciate Tax Defense for that because most of these companies will tell you and even have these false testimonials about people having these tax bills that went away.

      I like the person that did my taxes. He was good. I liked all the questions that he answered. The process was a little bit too long to get all the information together when I provided them all the information they needed. There was a follow-up that I had after my taxes were filed because the numbers didn't correlate from what the IRS had versus what we submitted. But even if it was a year late, the fee should not have been so high. I followed up on that but never heard back from anybody.

      Tax Defense Network was the most convenient and easiest one to get ahold of for my IRS and state taxes. I enrolled over the phone, and they emailed me the paperwork I needed, then I faxed or emailed them back. The specialist I was assigned was amazing. She helped me every step of the way, answered any questions I had and it was really easy to get ahold of her. The only thing she can improve upon is keeping up with her callback dates. When she would make a date to call me back, she didn't always call me back.

      It was an easygoing process and I was happy to have Tax Defense Network's help through the whole thing. They already got everything solved for me and all I'm doing is paying what I gotta pay. They saved me from going to jail and it saved me quite a bit of money as well. I still owe quite a bit to the IRS, but it's not nearly as much as it would have been if Tax Defense Network didn't negotiate. They were awesome.

      I would not recommend working with Tax Defense Network. Communication was terrible from the start — they rarely answered my questions and often came across as rude or dismissive. What the salesperson promised and what I actually received were two completely different things. Nicole and Jennifer, the tax consultants assigned to my case, were unhelpful and hard to reach. They did not provide clear updates or follow through on what they said they would do. In the end, I feel like I just threw my money away. There was no real progress made on my case and no value for what I paid. If you’re considering using this company, be very cautious and make sure you get everything in writing before agreeing to anything.

      I wanted to get my debt under control. Tax Defense does it step by step, like finding out the total debt that I was trying to eliminate and then they set up a program. The first couple of people that I had talked to had very little communication, and then they set me up with someone else. Initially, everything started off great. But then they progressively became complacent, and then it got worse and worse. They helped me out quite a bit, but some of the main things that I was focusing on, they kind of left me out. And now I’m at this point where I just have to try to rectify the situation. But overall, it was good. I have pretty much completed it.

      I signed up for Tax Defense Network’s personal debt relief program. My IRS bills were getting out of hand so I had to do something about it. I talked to three people. I gave them my name and all my information and told them what my problem was. They called me back a couple days later and said, “Okay. We got your bill.” They lowered my bill a little bit so I was happy with that. But I wish they would have been more upfront about how much the bill was, because I was paying them pretty much what they knocked down off the bill for the IRS. It came out even. I found some money and paid my whole bill off.

      I strongly advise against using Tax Defense Network. I paid nearly $10,000 for tax resolution services, and their handling of my case was negligent, unethical, and harmful, resulting in an additional $142,000 in IRS liability. They assigned personnel with clear conflicts of interest, including someone who resigning to go work for the IRS while working on my case. This is a serious ethical violation that directly impacted the management of my account. My IRS matter was not resolved, only postponed, and their mismanagement of the State of Oregon portion of my case led to garnishments and additional financial harm.

      Communication was disorganized and unprofessional. I repeatedly had to redo paperwork, and my concerns were ignored or mishandled for months. Their actions constitute misrepresentation and breach of contract, as the services promised were not delivered, and my financial position worsened under their management. The lack of accountability, oversight, and client care caused extreme financial, personal, and mental harm. Tax Defense Network’s failures are not minor errors, they are systemic and directly harmful to clients. I do not recommend this company under any circumstances.

      I was having problems with delayed tax returns but my experience with Tax Defense Network has been good. It’s been working for me so far, but it’s still too soon to tell on the last bit that I need to wrap up.

      The specialists at Tax Defense Network are good, but from the last experience, I was placed with several different representatives, which was annoying. But it seems to always lead to a better person. It’s just unfortunate with the turnover. It’s hard to tell whether that’s the person that I worked with or whether that’s Tax Defense Network’s.

      My current specialist followed up better than any of the other reps have. She stayed on top of things. It’s just that every time she followed up with me, I have no new information for her, so she quit bugging me. She answered my questions, though, and if she couldn’t answer them, she would figure out who to ask.

      I had six years of unpaid taxes. When I spoke with Tax Defense Network on the phone, they said they could help me find information and get documents. They said they would get in touch with me. It sounded reasonable at the time. Thinking I was gonna get a lot of help from them, I moved forward.

      The only thing they did is filled out my tax forms, sent them to me to sign, and told me to mail them in, which didn’t help with the situation at all. They just got the transcripts from the IRS. I still spent nine months myself trying to track down data and information and I had to complete it all myself. When it came time to negotiate with the IRS, all Tax Defense said was it was a small enough amount and I need to negotiate it myself. They could’ve done what they said they would do, help me find the documents, write letters on my behalf, and negotiate. They never told me that the $4,000 or the $3,800 I paid was for having the tax preparation person do the taxes only. They told me that if they were going to negotiate on my behalf, they would have to charge me more.

      The only good thing is they had always been kind to me when I talked to them on the phone. The lady who filled out the taxes seemed knowledgeable, and it didn’t appear to me that she missed anything. They could have gotten more information that might have improved my tax situation a little. But I paid nearly $4,000, an awful lot of money, for not very much help. Now I’m still having hardship making those tax payments.
