I just wanted to give a shoutout to Tax Defense Network for giving me such peace of mind during a stressful time. I can't recommend them enough! Kristina was amazing - super knowledgeable, proactive, and really went to bat for me. The service was totally worth the money, with great communication and efficiency. I'm so thankful for all their help.

Paid for services over 3 years ago. Guess what, IRS still adding interest with new letters. Tax Defense Network says should have received letter by now, which haven't. Tax Defense Network incompetent.The representative doesn't respond to my concerns. All I get, is you qualify, no letters, emails, no nothing, except IRS collections letters. Furthermore, the interest, since hiring tax defense network has increased. Their incompetence frustrating, pay them first, then let your tax debt grow. I trusted them, even agreed to qualified event. Still, nothing from them, except growing tax debt by IRS. Recent response to this by Tax Defense Network, read it, shows incompetence, cause never notified of action in 2023. Never notified of any action until now. If tax Defense Network has any proof of notifying me of case, prove it, will gladly apologize. Now, notified again should receive a letter, been hearing this for years. All I asked was keep me informed, but, this year after year not knowing, even when express concerns, an told reach out to you, and I let months go by, no nothing. Do apologize for claiming Tax Defense Network a fraud, that shouldn't have said. Got angry just keep dealing with this . Not sorry finally got everyone attention.

Our team takes the satisfaction of our clients very seriously and is disappointed to see you are dissatisfied with your experience.

If you have unresolved tax issues, I highly recommend that you contact Tax Relief Network for help. I was fortunate enough have Kristina Plisik assigned to my case and her hard work, clear explanations and patience with me allowed me resolve everything. I highly recommend Tax Relief Network to anyone with unresolved tax issues.

Thank you for being a Tax Defense Network customer. We're happy to have earned your recommendation!
I owe more money than when I started! I owed $7,100 in taxes. Now I owe $500 more for interest on my taxes AND I am making payments for the $2,500 service fee! I DO NOT recommend using Tax Defense Network. The people are nice and professional, but they did not help to lower my bill and now I owe more.

Becky, there seems to be some confusion about the interest applied to your tax balances, a matter our team would be happy to speak with you about.
While we aim to provide beneficial outcomes for our clients, we are disappointed to hear that the resolution we've provided has not felt beneficial to your tax concerns. We aim to reduce our client's liabilities, when applicable, but it's important to note that not every client qualifies for these reductions.
We are disappointed to hear this has impacted your perception of our services but are open to discussing this further if you would like to do so. Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] for further assistance.

We're thrilled to hear you are satisfied with the outcome of your services! Thank you for taking a moment to rate your experience with our Tax Defense Network team.
Working with Rudy Cortes has been a genuinely standout experience. From our very first conversation, he took a complicated, high‑stress tax situation and broke it down into a clear, step‑by‑step plan that was easy to follow, all while demonstrating deep knowledge of the process. His steady demeanor, professionalism, and sharp attention to detail immediately made me feel comfortable and confident in his guidance.
Throughout the entire engagement, Rudy remained attentive and accessible, answering questions quickly, anticipating the next steps, and making sure I never felt in the dark about what was going on. I never felt rushed or like just another file on a desk; it was obvious he was personally invested in achieving the best possible result for me. The outcome went far beyond what I expected and lifted a major weight off my shoulders.
If you are looking for a tax expert who is highly skilled, genuinely trustworthy, and sincerely focused on his clients, you could not do better than Rudy Cortes. He sets a very high bar for what a tax professional should be, and I am truly grateful for the work he did on my behalf. I will gladly and enthusiastically recommend Rudy to anyone who needs serious, top‑tier help with their taxes.

Tax Defense Network helped me to get through a difficult financial period of my life where I had gotten sideways with the federal government with taxes. My only complaint is the app that is used for communication with me is clanky and doesn’t notify me. The people were helpful and kind

We are thrilled to hear of your positive experience with our Tax Defense Network team. Thank you for your business and this incredible review!
After multiple unsuccessful attempts at resolution with the IRS, I turned to Celynda at the Tax Defense Network. This was the best decision I have made in my search for a resolution to my tax issues. Celynda was exceptionally professional, always kept me up to date on my case, easy to discuss issues with, and overall, the best person I have dealt with in this entire ordeal. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone seeking to resolve their tax issue.

Heather Irizarry did an outstanding job once she was assigned to my case. Before Heather i was ready to walk away from your company as I don't appreciate people talking over me and arguing with me about information I know is correct. Heather took the time to get up to speed very quickly and listened and asked great follow-up questions to ensure she understood. She asked if I would share documentation I had which I did. Heather took this information and reviewed it asking questions again to ensure she knew what I was explaining and what the documentation stood for. Heather asked great questions and never once talked over me or ignored what I was saying. Heather 100% redeemed your company in the way she handled herself and talking to me. She'd went above and beyond making sure I was kept in the loop at all steps and all communications. Would even check in to let me know there was no new information if it had been days without an update. That means a lot to someone like me. The whole process was painful and should have and could have been handled better!!!! As I stated Heather made the experience 1000% better by being a champion for me instead of an enemy. Thank You Heather for being a true advocate and listening!!!

Tax Defense Network did a phenomenal job for me! The assigned tax professional to my case was exceptional - always professional, very responsive and quick to complete things efficiently. I am extremely happy with the work they did for men- I’ve already referred them to a friend!
Connie Richardson deserves high marks for her work on this.
