Tell Us Your Tax Story So We Can Help
Think those TV tax ads make IRS programs sound too easy? You are right to be skeptical.
Very few tax problems are fixed with “one-size-fits-all” services.
You may be dealing with stopping current enforcement, filing old returns, finalizing a settlement or defending an audit.
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 execute that plan. 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 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 tax resolution company that cares about your outcomes.
