Veteran Owned Tax Firm. Focused on IRS and State Controversy.
Since 2002, The Tax Defenders has been a premier name in tax solutions. Whether you are an individual, or a business owner, our experienced and dedicated team at The Tax Defenders is ready to diligently secure solutions on your behalf.
A Company Founded From A Personal Tax Issue
While working at a homeless shelter and seven years before starting TTD, Joe (the owner) made a withholding error. What was a small liability debt ballooned into owing the IRS just over $10,000. It took him four years 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.
The company was formed in 2002 as it became clearer to Joe about how difficult it was for people to solve their issue with the IRS. Two decades later, he is still deeply involved in helping clients resolve their issue with the IRS.
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.
