We needed help with the state and the IRS. We searched online and called, and we are very happy we did. . They do all the legwork and all the calls, all we have to do is answer a few questions for them to get to work. Anytime something happens with the IRS I’ve always been able to call them or email them about it and they respond immediately.
I owed the IRS over $150,000 and never saw a way out. I finally decided to get my issue cleaned up and I am sooooo happy I found Defense Tax Group. Chris was a stud and helped me the entire time. Defense tax got over half of the money I owed removed and now I am in a small affordable payment plan. There is a process to get things fixed and it did not happen overnight BUT it did and I am grateful to everyone at Defense Tax.
the people at Defense Tax Group were helpful and informative and resolved my tax issue very fast and professionally.
Have you ever wondered what it was like to be clear of the IRS. Well , if you were like me and you were buried in debt to the IRS you probably could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thankfully I found Defense tax and they saved my life. I now have a job and a bank account two things I could not have when the IRS was after me. Defense got my life back and I owe them everything.
Quick and easy are words you would not think about with tax help. Well Defense Tax group was exactly that. They solved my state and IRS issues fast and were kind and caring the entire way. I feel like i have a entire set of new friends.
I was basically hiding for the last 5 years to avoid the IRS. It took one call, honestly one single call to change my life. They guys at Defense stopped all collections activities on me and got my life back in order. I could not have done it without them. Defense Tax Group is a godsend!
I was scammed by another firm. I was very reluctant to try a different company, but Defense Tax came through for me and saved me over $30,000 and I can't say enough about their service.
A Tremendous group of people that took care of me and my family. We owed a lot of money and now we are debt free and stress free. Every time we called they would take the time to answer our questions and really make us feel comfortable. Over the last few months I have referred them numerous people and all have had the exact same result. They have said they were the best as well.
Easy to work with and got the results i wanted .
Trying to navigate the tax landscape and all the companies out there claiming they are the best. After reading the reviews and speaking to Defense Tax Group I made the leap of faith and hired Defense Tax Group and they have been by my side. everyone I worked with showed a true willingness to assist me all the time. I wish I would have contacted Defense Tax Group sooner. Chris and his entire team were so helpful.
Hi Frank, John and Amber. You made my taxes easy for me. Thanks again for all your help. I'll contact you again next year for my 2017 returns. Best, Mike
Great experience. Very professional and easy to work with. Saved me over $57,000 and got the IRS to stop garnishing my paychecks.
Highly recommend Defense tax group.
I heard about Defense Tax Group one day while listening to my favorite music station out if Sacramento. I knew that I had a horrific IRS problem for a few years and I finally found the courage to do something about it. I dialed the # given over the radio hoping for a resolution to my agony. I was more than surprised to find out that not only did DTG have the answers to my questions but also the solution to my nightmare!
I cannot thank DTG enough for assisting me through the entire process and being my advocate while handling the IRS communications.
Thank you Chris Sulton, Diana Barillas, Amber, Dan, Hymie and so many others at Defense Tax Group for helping me get my life back on track.
Sincerely,
Georgianne
after a year of paying them $300 a month they came back and told me that I could pay $100 a week until the 35 original thousand dollars was paid offI would never recommend them people
I think you did an OK job of negotiating my settlement however you did a terrible job of keeping me up dated on what was going on. Often I would hear from the IRS what I needed to do and then hear from you 2-3 weeks later the same thing.
