The tax defense group helped me out with a situation with the IRS and the Franchise Tax Board. I was very satisfied with the outcome. I also have continued to use them for all my tax needs up to the present, including filing my tax returns. I recommend their services to anyone with confidence. They are professional, trustworthy and efficient.

Worth the wait for the outcome

It was many months of negotiating with the State Taxes but well worth the wait for the final settlement. Thank you so much for the great news ! You, Diana Rodriguez made my day and holidays. It's was a pleasure working with you and your team.

Until next time, take care of yourself and your team !

Having your bank account show a zero balance…

Getting any notification from the IRS that you are not compliant and they have seized the money in your bank account is terrifying! TDG was able to work with the IRS to return the money within 24 hours and helped me get compliant.

Tax Defense Group Very Recomendable

Made a very bad decision going to a lady to do my brothers taxes. They did fraud stole his social and sold it to several people in other states where they were using and working with his social. They messed it all up when they did his taxes he ended up owing 28,000 to the IRS. Thanks to the Tax Defense Group Matt and Dahlia was on top of things making sure we received and replied to the emails. Made sure we provided all the information that was needed. My brother only ended up paying 100.00 which was such a relief and took a load off our back . Very recommendable if you are in debt with the IRS, Thank you Tax Defense Group

Very good experience!

I never write reviews. I am for this company though! I was looking for a company to handle my tax debt. It was extensive in amount and years to be examined. I narrowed down my search to five companies. One of them was Tax Defense Group. After calling I found one it that it was a family run business and I spoke with Matt. I do believe he said his uncle started this business. I immediately could tell that Matt was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I was a little hesitant to choose any company as i didn't want to get ripped off. There are so many companies offering tax resolution.
I began to gravitate to choosing Tax Defense group and Matt offered me something that would require some trust on my part. He said if you give us $500 dollars to start the investigation process, we will refund you no questions asked if you decide to not go with us. I had to trust him as this was not in writing . I’m not easily fooled. My gut was telling me that it’s all ok so I went with his offer. No sooner than I paid him $500 my father called me and said his neighbor had a son who does tax resolution and he is a tax lawyer and that he would pay all my expenses to get this resolved. Of course I had to take that deal. I didn’t want to string Matt along so I immediately called him. He had already started the process and as promised and wanted to send me his full tax evaluation before we parted ways. I didn’t mention a thing about the $500. I waited for him to complete the evaluation and a couple weeks later he sent it to me. I spoke with him about whet he found and it was in line with what my father’s friend’s lawyer had told me. I told him thank you and again didn’t mention the $500. A day or two later I woke up to a deposit that was made in my bank account for $500.

Now even though I didn’t use tax defense group I can tell you this. They did exactly what they promised to do and quite frankly, I’m certain some companies would have not cared and keep my money. Furthermore, Matt was very empathetic and personable with me. I could tell he was raised by people who care about him and like to treat people in business and otherwise with respect.

I will be needing tax help in the future and I will be calling this office again! Thanks everyone!

I think my case was the longest one…

I think my case was the longest one that the tax defense group ever had but it was so worth it because in the end we got the result I wanted , which freed me from a huge tax debt from when I was getting divorced (in 2012!!) the amount owed is now ZERO!!! I can’t speak highly enough of Dalila and everyone else I spoke to or worked on my case. Highly recommended and I am so grateful to them!!! A++++

I have been working with The Tax…

I have been working with The Tax Drfense Group since 2019. Matt Sitler is the best, he is always responsive to my questions. I put my trust and faith in them and they exceeded my expectations. The service was quick and easy and they made me feel at ease with my tax situation.

$10000+

As a single father of 3 young boys my life is crazy. I want to thank Matt Sitler and Martha Diaz for their patience with me. They helped me resolve years of unfilled taxes and got me the maximum amount returned.

Stress Relief

I appreciated the work done. It was a very stressful experience that was made less so with the company’s help.
The company was able to get a resolution to my situation with a significantly reduced payback. I was supported throughout the experience with the company through their knowledgeable and patient people.

Great experience

I was in need of some help with my taxes this year. After meeting with Matt one afternoon he quickly got me set up and answered all my questions. It felt as if I’ve know him for years. Next day I receive an email from Marta. Who then helped me with the rest of the filing process. Because of them everything went very smooth and easy, No stress or hassle. 10/10 would recommend. I have them saved in my phone and will be back next year

Excellent Customer Service

I was in a bind when my tax preparer suddenly retired so I called The Tax Defense Group. From my first call with Matt to my meeting with Martha, everyone at the company was so professional and my return was done the same day. I highly recommend them!

Exceeded My Expectations! Call Them!

I needed help with both the IRS and state for back taxes. I remembered a commercial about Tax Defense Group and immediately called. They went to work right away for me, fought for every single dollar, and negotiated the an outcome I only dream about.
To say they went above and beyond is an understatement. I know they spent HOURS on hold with the IRS and state. To this day I use them every year to do my taxes and I am VERY PLEASED! THANK YOU is not enough! You cannot go wrong calling them!

My wife and I found ourselves owing…

My wife and I found ourselves owing back taxes. We reached out to Scott for some guidance with our problem. Matt became our case manager. Matt and his team were instrumental in working with us, the IRS, setting up a payment plan and getting us back on track. I'm not sure where we would be today with out their help. If you need help with taxes these are the people to go to!
