I hired Tax Defense Network expecting…

I hired Tax Defense Network expecting professional IRS representation and tax resolution services. Instead, I encountered constant inconsistencies and unprofessional conduct. Key figures related to my case were repeatedly changed, creating confusion and frustration. When I questioned these discrepancies, the rep became defensive, hostile, and dismissive rather than providing clear answers. The tax rep shared her personal cell phone and email, claiming we were “friends,” but later said this was a mistake and refused to communicate transparently. I was also pressured to consider bankruptcy and find an attorney, which was never part of my agreement, and the unwarranted recommendation felt irresponsible and risky.

I was able to terminate my contract quickly and receive a refund following my breach of contract email I sent them, but afterward, I tried to notify leadership about what had happened, and no one ever responded.

I am sharing this review in good faith to describe my experience. Should the company respond, please know this is my accurate, documented account.

Based on this experience, I do not recommend this company.

Don't pay these people call the IRS yourself

First, they should tell the truth they were paying thousands of dollars when you file anything with the IRS? There's always a receipt and a receipt number. Never let them tell you they don't have one. That's how the IRS works. They do not get thousands of dollars to file an application. You can file the application yourself and get rejected yourself. They are literally taking people's money to file an application late and never follow through. When you check with Florida Jacksonville Florida's bettis Business bureaus you have to wait a year and a half to file class action lawsuit folks if you've been robbed by these people follow up when a class action lawsuit is filed, they have to give all the names of everyone else. Don't let them get away with this

Choose Another Tax Service

I signed on with TDN in Sept of 2023. My case is still open. To date, I have had 5-6 people take over my case and literally nothing has been done. Not one dollar of penalties has been removed and it seems the 4K I invested in this company have been a complete waste. They are very difficult to get in touch with and if you miss their call - they flag you as non-responsive or unable to contact...I can't remember how they worded it exactly. They even closed my case once due to this - even though I was emailing them often and returning their calls. The current lady assigned to my case is very rude and every time we talk it is like starting over on my tax story.

Jawanda Johson

I had an excellent experience with the initial consultation, especially with Agent Jawanda Johnson, she was professional, informative, and supportive throughout the process.

That said, I’ve come to understand that if you owe the IRS due to past tax mistakes, there is only so much a tax defense service can do. While the service may be on the pricier side, at the end of the day, if you are liable, those past errors still need to be addressed and paid for. Thank you, Jawanda Johnson.

Outstanding Company and employees

It was an absolute pleasure working with Tax Defense Network. The staff were completely professional and caring. They took my situation very seriously and amazed me with how fast they got to work, especially my Case Manager Ms. Katrina Curtis, She kept in constant contact with me and kept me informed of what my next steps were to take place. Her professionalism, knowledge and concern kept me at ease. She exemplifies the true meaning of exceptional and I appreciate her and your company very much. I also want to thank Ms. Janet Hammerquist, my tax preparer, who was also great, in the way she handled my paperwork and explained to me exactly what I had to do to complete the process. I am a lucky person indeed to have come across your company and the outstanding personnel you have working there. Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it!!

What began as a promising sales pitch…

What began as a promising sales pitch in the website's initial callback conversation with the company in FL has become an unacceptable communication endeavor with the outsourced "tax professional." She waited past the final hour to let us know THEY had the wrong first digit for the taxpayer ID. She insisted the FL office did not include the L11 form in our file, and she needed me to resend it to her. I did at 8:52 am on 05/21/2025. She previously had made the excuse that she was waiting for the IRS to approve the POAs they had sent in. She again said she was sending (calling) it in right then. If there was a problem with the POA forms, we should have been notified immediately, not the day before the deadline, (May 22, 2025). Once again, in her email to me on May 21, 2025, at 5:47 pm she insisted that she needed to confirm my husband's name and SS# so she could call the IRS with the POA information. The confirmation of name and SS#, the LT-*- form had been texted, called in, and emailed to her by both my husband and me multiple times. The SS# was given to the original representative from FL on a recorded conversation that my husband and I were both part of. The digits were clearly given and repeated back, then confirmed. I confronted the "tax professional" from Cedar Falls, VA regarding the frustration and she answered with "Stop this, or I will block you. I now deal with your husband only." They charged $6800 (so far). If it were up to me only, I would get the initial down payment of $680 back and cancel the subsequent monthly payments. She has become a real source of chaos by placing the blame everywhere but on herself and has tried to pull off the "You have to listen to me because I am trying to help you" effect. If my husband wants to keep her, I at least want her to get things done, not give updated excuses about why she is PAST THE DEADLINE for doing what we are being charged so heavily for.
