Think those TV tax ads make it sound too easy? Like they have a magic trick to getting caught up on back taxes? You are right to be skeptical.

Very few tax problems are fixed with “one-size-fits-all” services.

Getting old returns figured out and filing back taxes in order can be hard because you may not know where to start, what is required or how to get the right information. 

What you need is honest answers and straight-forward guidance from your first call.

“… incredibly responsive, helpful and honest about his recommendations moving forward!
Kelsey B – Woman Owned Business Contractor

“…very transparent and upfront about the process. If you have horrendous tax problems and need real solutions my suggestion would be have a talk with The Tax Defenders.” — Jeffery B – Naperville, IL

Many also need a personalized plan and experienced team to help with their back taxes issue. That is who we are and what we do.

Our founder, Joe Hanley, brings two life experiences to the spirit and operation of The Tax Defenders.

1: He had his own tax problem. While working at a homeless shelter and seven years before starting TTD, he made a withholding error. What was a small tax liability ballooned into owing the IRS just over $10,000. It took him four years of negotiating his back taxes to pay that off. It was a tough financial chapter but infuses our practice with a great deal of empathy for people fighting through tax problems.

2: Joe is a veteran of five years of service in the United States Marine Corps including combat in Desert Shield/Desert Storm. We get our no-hype, straight-talk as well as our sense of duty from the Marines.

All of this translates into a group that cares about your outcomes.
