“Sometimes bad things happen to good people. From unexpected illness or a job status change from employed to self-employed, hardworking Americans get overwhelmed and intimidated by the tax filing process leaving them with tax debt,” said David Prokupek, CEO of Jackson Hewitt. “As a trusted leader in taxes, our promise to work hard for the hardest working includes helping those with tax debt regain control. The Tax Defense Network® shares our values, with a trustworthy reputation and an outstanding record of client satisfaction.”
Currently $114 Billion of Federal Taxes are owed by Americans. Over the last decade, the number of American taxpayers facing “delinquent” tax issues has grown steadily, reaching approximately 10 million, and with it, the need for workable solutions. Tax Defense Network® focuses on resolving all client discrepancies to completion. They offer services to individuals and businesses to remove tax liens, set up payment plans, and work with the IRS where appropriate to remove some or all of the accumulated penalties from the tax debt. Additionally, they ensure taxpayers are fully informed with realistic expectations and consistent pricing for each of its services.
“When taxpayers find themselves staring at a large tax bill, which could lead to wage garnishment, or seizure of assets, they can feel a range of emotions, with confusion and disbelief quickly turning into panic and uncertainty,” said Joe Valinho, President of Tax Defense Network®. “We’re here to help ease our clients’ minds, by explaining the situation and available options, and approaching each case with the IRS as if it’s our own to get the best resolution possible.”
Tax Defense Network® employs a team of knowledgeable professionals, consisting of licensed tax professionals, enrolled agents, certified public accountants, and an ex-IRS agent. Its team has consulted with more than 126,000 taxpayers, seeing over $3.3 billion dollars in tax debt since its inception in 1997.
“We know there are companies that unfortunately try to take advantage of these desperate situations,” said Prokupek. “Jackson Hewitt has built a strong reputation with our clients for more than 25 years. By partnering with Tax Defense Network®, we provide a trusted option for the services many Americans need to protect their assets and their future.”
