What Tax Defense Network does

Tax Defense Network, LLC is a U.S. tax resolution firm headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, founded in 2007. The company negotiates and resolves federal and state tax debt for individuals and small businesses, covering IRS programs such as Offers in Compromise, installment agreements, the Fresh Start Initiative, Innocent Spouse Relief, penalty abatement, Currently Not Collectible status, audit representation, and unfiled-return catch-up. It also offers related tax preparation, bookkeeping, and payroll services for small businesses, plus tax compliance support for cryptocurrency-related transactions. The firm's stated track record includes resolving $18 billion+ in tax debt across "tens of thousands" of clients since inception, with services delivered across all 50 states.

The business is built on licensed tax professionals — CPAs, enrolled agents, and tax attorneys with 250 years of combined experience — rather than proprietary technology; the underlying platform is conventional case-management, content marketing assets (tax guides, calculators, IRS notices library, blog), and a toll-free inside-sales intake funnel. Marketing combines SEO-oriented educational content, social media presence across Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, X, YouTube, and Threads, and a free qualification consultation that converts prospects into paid engagements. The company operates as Tax Defense Network, MoneySolver (DBA), and TaxSafe, and has a partnership with CreditSolver to offer credit-repair services to overlapping client needs.

Revenue is generated through professional-services fees customized per case complexity, with financing available starting at $99 per month. The company is a privately held LLC with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or M&A history. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined after the free consultation; the firm emphasizes A+ BBB accreditation and a #1 ranking on BestCompany.com as trust signals to convert distressed-taxpayer leads.
