I dealt with defense tax back in…

I dealt with defense tax back in February 2024. I opened my case with Noah Riley. I’m actually looking for witnesses that wouldn’t mind sending me complaints. I hired this company to help me on an amendment with the IRS and like I’ve seen from other reviews yes constant turnover and I mean constant turnover. Nobody gets back to you in time. They actually had my IRS tax advocate case closed, because they failed to give proper information to the tax advocate with the IRS and I barely just found out about this because I received a notice from the Tax advocate that they closed out my case so here again back to square one . I paid them $3500 for nothing but what I have in favor is that I have multiple emails. This estranged woman by the name of Catherine a case manager will send me emails and with the most ignorant responses. If anyone has anything to share, No one should ever have to feel like they paid for something have a relief thinking somebody’s really gonna help them out and in the end it’s just a bunch of nonsense. False hope…

Terrible

Terrible. They basically stole my money and provided nothing in return. Constant turnover in their firm means that no one knows what is going on with your case. Eventually the subcontracted my tax court work to a company called Victory Tax Law - they were great. I had to pay again, but they handled everything and got me an amazing outcome. Do yourself a favor, stop considering Tax Defense Partners and call Victory Tax Law. You'll pay one time and they deliver great service.

Scammed someone who really needed help

On 6/18/2020 I contacted the company regarding a call received from the IRS. In 2019 when an employee committed all types of theft and fraud we found out about the taxes not being paid. I informed Eric T. about me trying to set up payments and getting the interest abated. They denied setting up payments and then months later I received a letter saying we defaulted on payments I contacted the IRS who stated we were paying and I told them we were not after going back and fourth with them Eric assured me that if I hired the company they would get the check fees dismissed and our payments would not be the $981 the IRS was asking for. I ended up hiring the company for $3,250 dollars. I had been reaching out to the company with no response and then on 7/30/2020 I received an email fromShelly M. stating that she would be handling the case. She stated that we had not paid our 2020 taxes which I know were paid and then I tried to contact the company for an update with no response on 8/17/2020 after sending a email she responded stating I had not paid 2nd quarter of 2020 after sending me information I provided her the amounts for 2nd quarter 2020 and asked if she had the right account. I sent her a photo of the payments and asked if I needed to send the bank statements with no response. Then I spoke with Eric who said Shelly was the owner and was on vacation so I had to wait until Monday to speak to her as she was requesting me to send documents that I thought come from the IRS. I called 8/24/2020 twice spoke with Eric who sent me to Shelly vm left a message and sent an with no response. On 8/25/2020 I received an email stating payments were reinstated in which I explained I never had payments to reinstate and that was the purpose of me hiring. I then called Shelly and explained why I hired them and the amount of $981 was to much as we are a small daycare facility and Eric stated that they would not be that much and the returned check fees would be taken off. Shelly said she need to call the IRS and would call me back, but instead of calling back or fixing her mistake sent an email telling me there was nothing that could be done unless I removed funds from my account or something else. In return I called with no answer requested the arbitration number owner number attorney number a call and refund of my money as they didn't do anything that was requested or asked nor what was in the contract.

Competent and IRS Tax Resolution in…

Competent and IRS Tax Resolution in Favor of the Tax PayerI highly recommend TDP as they are very competent, reliable, and assertive in dealing with the IRS for obtaining results that benefit the taxpayer. TDP is responsive, easy to work with, and in general, gets the job done in a professional manner. TDP did a great job in obtaining my full tax refund where I did not expect the results they achieved in the manner that they achieved those results. I have used their services that predates the existence of TDP when it was known as Tax Resolution Services. TDP is to be commended for their very professional work outcomes.

My name is Eric

My name is Eric . We had a rough stretch in our lives and ended up getting into a lot of debt with the IRS. I am retired military and since retirement I have worked as a government contractor that requires me to maintain a Top Secret Security clearance and any tax problems could jeopardize my status. I contacted and began working with Tax Defense in April of 2016 to help with my tax problems. From day one I received exceptional and professional help from you. As of today I am finally completely debt free to the IRS and it was much less than I thought it would cost me. I hope you can understand how important and big of a relief this is to me. I would like you to know that both Chanta Thomas and David Boyd are two of the most caring and professional individuals I have had the pleasure of working with. They went above and beyond to help and explain/handle my case and I truly appreciate it!!Again I cannot thank you enough and will recommend Tax Defense to anyone who needs your help.Thank youErci Tate

April Landers is a Life Saver!

April has been my case manager for over a year and has been there for me every step of the way. Owing money to the IRS is scary. She gave me peace of mind that it would be ok. She also just listened to me and made sure I was informed and understood the process. I can not say enough about how April has been a true life saver. I highly recommend Tax Defense Partbers and April Landers. Thank you!

Tax Defense Partners was there for me...

Tax Defense Partners was there for me when I needed them. At the time I was dealing with so many obstacles in my life and the IRS was one of them. Their team kept things professional and were compassionate and understanding of my situation. I believe they did everything in their power to help me and I’d like to thank them for that. Tax Defense Partners are in my opinion one of the best firms out there. Sure, you might be able to find a tax attorney who will charge you less but the results would be correspondent with the price you pay. If you are looking for a quality firm that brings you results that you will be satisfied with, then Tax Defense Partners are your best bet.

I am extremely satisfied with my experience with Tax Defense Partners and am thankful that I found out about them just in time to take care of my taxes. I needed to make sure that my taxes were filed correctly since I had issues with local tax attorneys in the past. TDP was over-achieving in every aspect and definitely knew what they were doing. I had trouble with the IRS and owed them a nice chunk of money but their team came to the rescue. They nearly erased my debt and saved me a great deal of money ... they dealt with the IRS on my behalf and I am beyond happy with the result. Thank you again for everything!

The IRS had put a lien on my house and I was really struggling to settle the debt due to so many complications in my life. I’m glad I found Tax Defense Partners because without them I would have never heard the end of it from the IRS. I went on their website which was very user friendly and immediately navigated to tax debt relief where I found the tax lien option. I contacted them through their website and got a response within the hour, scheduled a meeting with one of their team members in their Encino office and the rest is history. They settled my debt far better than I could have imagined and relieved me of the stress of dealing with the IRS. Very professional and extremely friendly. Communication is key and I believe they did a great job. The results speak for themselves! Thank you TDP!

Taking too long

I've been a client on the same case for over three years. I've had over 10 case workers involved with my case and I have been asked 5 times for the same tax return. I comply in a timely manner each time and I'm still at square one. After a brief time with my TSP case worker, they have either left the company, out in maternity leave, on vacation or some other excuse... what's it take to resolve a tax issue?

I have used TDP 3 times over the years

I have used TDP 3 times over the years. After getting used to the way their system works I was very relieved that they were working for me. Each time they provided the services that were expected and the outcome was exactly what I was led to believe. They took the daily pressure of the IRS off me anhelped

TDP was outstanding

TDP was outstanding. We received delinquent state and federal tax notices totaling nearly $200,000, secondary to “profit” on sale of a second home. We had invested a tremendous amount n making the vacation property livable, but had difficulty reconstructing the paper trail. With TDP’s assistance, we ended up owing a total of only $3,000.

TDP is doing great.

TDP is doing great.It has taken a while to resolve my problems, but the time required was not caused by TDP. The problem was my slowness in locating and providing the requested tax information to TDP.Thanks TDP.
