Defense Tax Partners offers a full complement of services related to tax debt relief. The firm employs tax attorneys, CPAs, and tax analysts to address the specific needs of individuals and businesses who find themselves in tax trouble. Depending on the issues a customer is facing, the company can help negotiate with the IRS on lowering overall debt, establishing favorable tax repayment plans, making offers in compromise, and having penalties reduced. Defense Tax Partners also helps customers get out from under wage garnishment, property levies, and other asset seizures. In certain circumstances, filing bankruptcy may be the best solution for a customer and the company also provides the services required to do so. Defense Tax Group fees start at $250. Additional fees are based on the actual amount of work the company has to put in to resolve your tax situation. Fees are not based on the amount of money you owe or the amount the company help you avoid paying. The company states that there is no minimum debt threshold customers must meet to work with them. They base their decision to work with you on whether it would be financially worthwhile for you to work with them. In other words, if they review your tax situation and see a simple solution to your problem that would not result in your being charged high fees, they might well take your case even if the amount you owe is quite small. But generally, the company works with customers who have amassed more than $10,000 in tax debt. The company is located in California and wisely suggests that customers who owe both state and federal taxes might be best served by a company located in the state where they owe. But Defense Tax Partners does serve a national customer base through a staff that is highly experienced in working with the Federal tax code.

Defense Tax Partners develops individualized plans for customers depending on the depth and breadth of their tax problems. When you owe money to the IRS, you may have both acute and long-term needs for relief. The pain of living with tax debt can take many forms.

Defense Tax Partners offers broad suite of services to help you address whatever problems you are experiencing, from stopping wage garnishments, bank account levies, and property seizures to negotiating an overall reduction of your tax debt or a repayment plan you can live with.

Defense Tax Partners Experience

Proven Experience - 4 / 5

Defense Tax Partners has been in business since 2013. However the tax attorneys, CPAs, and tax analysts who are employed by the company have much lengthier professional histories in the tax profession. Some employees have direct experience working for the IRS, which is an important feature to look for when searching for a tax relief service. It's always a good idea to look not just at a company's reputation, but also the skill sets of the individual employees assigned to manage your case.

I was at a loss as to what to do about my taxes. I owed about $50,000 to the IRS. Defense tax was able to get me a settlement with the IRS that I could afford. I never thought I would get out of this situation. They were professional through the process.

Had the need for a tax attorney and looked up online and luckily my search led me to Defense Tax Partners. I had a notice of a bank levy and I wanted to try and stop it. Defense was a very simple and smooth procedure where they contacted the IRS on my behalf and argued my case. They got the IRS to release my bank levy and return all the money they had taken form the account. I recommend Defense tax Partners.

Needed to file some back taxes. The IRS filed my returns for me without any deductions and they claimed I owed $44,567.09. I knew I did not because I had a lot of write off that I was not given credit for. Defense Tax Partners refiled all of my returns and I went from owing money to getting a refund of $4,678.87. Now if that is not a great results, I do not know what is. Call Defense Tax Partners if you need tax help.

When I found Defense Tax Partners my tax situation faded away and so did my stress. Everyone I dealt with at Defense knew what they were doing were helpful and took care of my best interest.

I hired one of the firms that advertises daily on every radio station and TV station and was very disappointed. I basically paid them $6,000 and they did nothing except let my debt grow, it almost doubled. I still needed help, so I rolled the dice with Defense, and they were great. Their fees were far less than the other firm and they got my tax issue cleared up in under two months. I went from owing the IRS money to being in a CNC where I don’t owe or pay back anything. Wish I found them before the last tax law firm. It’s a shame how one company can be so poor and the other one so great.

I was selling my house and found out I had a tax lien. I was surprised because I was never notified. The IRS wanted to take the money from the sale of my house to cover my tax debt, but I needed that money to buy a new house. My mortgage broker told me about Defense Tax Partners, so I called them and got to work quickly. Thy got the lien on my house removed and I was able to sell the house without having to pay the IRS back with all the proceeds. I was thrilled.

We got hit with an audit by the IRS. They said that we owed an additional $13,000 due to some deductions they were not allowing and then they added penalties and interest as well. They had a total of $3,500 in extra fees. Defense Tax Partners tax attorneys took our case on and took care of us. They got the penalties erased and the debt lowered within a few months it was all settled and cleared up. I hope no one needs their services like we did, but if you end up needing a tax attorney these are the people to call.

I filed my taxes every year and the last few years the IRS did not send my returns that combined for over $16,000. I kept calling and getting nowhere and it was really frustrating. Chris at Defense tax Partners got on the phone with the IRS and got them to agree to release my refunds and I had the money in my bank in about 3 weeks. They moved quick and were worth it.

Known the Defense Tax Partners tax attorneys for years. They have helped me and my business partners over the years and always do a good job. I highly recommend them for doing all of our tax needs. They do our payroll, tax returns and any other issues that could arise.

My entire office uses Defense Tax Partners for their tax needs and we are all very glad to work with them. They are knowledgeable, extremely empathetic and understanding. My personal experience was fantastic and working with Chris and Martin is always a pleasure. Thankfully, I only use them for tax returns, but they do all of the tax resolution stuff as well.

We owed $66,000 to the state and IRS. I had a wage garnishment in place and then a bank levy. We truly felt the walls closing in on us. We decided we needed help getting out of our mess. We hired one company that charged us for an investigation and then never even got back to us. We then found Defense Tax Partners and they showed us what a tax attorney should be like. They fought for us with the state and the IRS and resolved all of our issues. All in all we saved over $50,000 by hiring Defense.

Was overseas visiting my family and found out my passport was suspended due to my back tax issue. I thought I was going to have move back home to Dublin. Thankfully, I found the Defense Tax Partners firm and we went right to work and totally help me get back to the states. I did not know you can get a passport suspended and I was worried about my citizenship. These guys are so good at what they do I am telling anyone who needs tax help to use their services.

Hired Chris and his team of amazing tax attorneys to help me with some business tax issues and have been please with the results. This is the third year in a row I have used their services and the quality of their work is what I needed. Their creative way of figuring out state and federal business taxes that allows me to grow my business is pretty great. The team of tax preparers and accountants I worked with have all been very easy to work with.

Working 40 hours a week and getting your paycheck garnished is the worst. I was so sick and tired of getting close to 30% of my check taken from me I finally hired a tax attorney to help me. These guys stopped my wage garnishment in less than a week and solved the constant nagging tax issue. I am debt free with the IRS thanks to Defense Tax Partners.

Been avoiding dealing with my taxes for years. I was 6 years behind in filing and getting crazy letters from the IRS. Searched online and called a few places and hired Defense Tax Partners and I am happy I did. My taxes were a mess and they got me all fixed up. We had to do all the missing tax years and they helped me with the bookkeeping to recreate the past. Then they got me in an instalment agreement that I could actually afford. AND, after all that they got my penalties erased and saved me a bundle of cash. Thank you Defense !

My wages got garnished and I was having a real hard time paying all of my bills. The IRS was taking close to half of my check. My grandfather had used Defense Tax Partners before and said I should call them. Once I made the initial call, I realized I was dealing with a team of pros. My tax attorney got the garnishment released in a few days then put me in a program where I don have to pay the IRS back and the debt will expire. Talk about a change of events with one phone call.

We got a bank levy put on our bank account and had no money left for the market or even to pay our mortgage. My husband and I were at a loss as to what to do. We called defense Tax Partners and let them know our circumstances. They were so understanding and helpful. They allowed us to put a small deposit down so we could hi them and would be paid once they got our money back. They got the bank levy stop and out money returned to us in a week. We are very very very very happy with this company.

An easy group of people to work with. They assessed my tax issue, gave me a gave plan, and did exactly what they said they were going to do. The tax attorneys at Defense Tax Partners are a real pleasure to work with.

I lost my license because I owed the IRS over 70K and could no longer work. Being a truck driver the one thing you need is a license. I found Defense Tax Partners online and hired them right on the spot. They told me it could take a week or two to get my license back, it took 2 days. I was mind blown and thrilled. They are worth every penny because they get the results you need.
