I needed help resolving past tax problems and Kristina P. took care of my problems from beginning to end. I felt overwhelmed by my past unresolved tax issues but Kristina worked hard to resolve every problem and was careful to explain every part of the situation to me. After years of worry, this was a huge relief to me and I could not have had a better person assigned to my case than Kristina. Thank you for all your help!

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.

Nataly M. and the team at Community tax did a great job for us and in a timely fashion. We owed 20K+ in back taxes. We checked online reviews of this company which were very positive and decided to use their services. We were not disappointed! The plan was laid out to us clearly and emailed questions and requests were responded to quickly. We are so relieved to have our tax situation resolved! Thank you so much!!

Froud Taxes filling - Taxes Scam - IRS taxes Fraud Worst Experience ever. I paid them to do my taxes (there is not even a problem, it is just filling) and they promise tons of time during phone call amazing assistance. I am asking for weeks for assistance to make sure what I am sending is the correct thing, the ignore my questions and only reply the same protocol message of "we need this papers" They got me with an Instagram advertising, I swear for god if I don't get my refund I'll pay the same money to post a Instagram video of saying how bad this company is
The Final Word
Company Experience and Expertise (Winner: Tax Defense Network)
Tax Defense Network has been in business a few years longer than Community Tax. TDN also employs tax analysts and accredited tax advisors, in addition to the standard lineup of CPAs, enrolled agents, and tax attorneys. These additional experts are advantageous, especially for clients with particular tax problems.
On its website, Tax Defense Network also offers one of the most helpful FAQ sections we've seen for a tax relief company. We recommend using this helpful resource if you are in the research phase of finding the right tax relief option for you or your business.
User Experience (Winner: Community Tax)
User experience includes things such as ease of website use, quality of service provided by the company, and overall likelihood of customers to recommend the company after using it.
While we generally find Tax Defense Network’s website easier to navigate and more informational, Community Tax ranks higher for quality of service and overall likelihood of customers to recommend it, which is why it is the winner of this category.
Small Business Help (Winner: Tax Defense Network)
Tax Defense Network has a large section of its website and services dedicated to providing help to small businesses with any tax-related matters. While Community Tax may offer these services as well, it is not as clear on its website about the specific help it can offer small businesses, which is why TDN wins this category for us.
State Availability (Winner: Community Tax)
Community Tax is available in all 50 states (though we don’t know how many physical locations it offers), while Tax Defense Network operates physical locations in around 30 states.
Cost (Winner: Tie)
As mentioned previously, TDN and Community Tax end up charging very similar amounts for their services, though their pricing structures vary a bit. The cost of debt relief services can be difficult to predict, and we recommend consulting with a professional from the company you are considering to get the most accurate estimate of how much you will pay for your tax relief help.
Tax Defense Network or Community Tax: Which Is Better?
These two companies are both ranked highly on our site for a reason. Customers have generally very positive experiences with both companies and have reasons they would recommend either company’s services.
Overall, we are slightly more impressed with Tax Defense Network. With over 2,500 customer reviews and a four-star rating, TDN is a clear leader in the tax relief field. It has a user-friendly website and a helpful FAQ section. Tax Defense Network also offers services specifically helpful to small businesses with tax issues or needs.
Community Tax is also a top-rated company and is available across the country to help you find tax relief. Ultimately, while we generally recommend TDN, we also suggest scheduling a free consultation with both of these top companies and use the information you glean from those consultations to help you make the best decision for your individual tax situation.
