★★★★★

“I owed the IRS about $58,562 after a few years of self-employment where I didn’t keep up with my taxes. I started getting letters about levies and honestly didn’t know what to do. After speaking with the team at Defender Tax Relief, they explained the entire process and pulled my transcripts so we could see exactly where things stood. They walked me through my financials and determined I qualified for an Offer in Compromise. The process took some time, but they handled all the paperwork and communicated with the IRS on my behalf. In the end, my tax debt was settled for $6,200, and the IRS accepted the offer. I finally feel like I can breathe again.”

Money-Back Guarantee: We kill your IRS debt — or you pay nothing.

Every day you wait, the IRS adds more.

No commitment beyond this step. We call you within the hour.

Do I pay the $500 on top of the resolution fee?
No. The $500 credits in full toward your resolution. Think of it as a down payment — not an add-on. And if we complete the investigation and don't find a legitimate solution — you pay nothing. No negotiation, no forms to fill out.
Every other firm offers a free consultation. Why do you charge for yours?
Because a free consultation is a sales call. Every other firm charges you $2,500–$5,000 just to find out what you owe — then charges again for resolution. We do the actual work first, for $500, credited toward everything else. The guarantee is what makes it risk-free — not the price tag.
What if my situation turns out to be simple?
If the investigation reveals a path you can handle yourself — we tell you that, send you our free guide, and refund your $500. We won't charge you for work you don't need. That's the whole point of doing this right.

We Kill Your IRS Debt.
Or You Pay Nothing.

We've resolved over $18M in IRS debt. Our licensed EAs know what works, what doesn't, and exactly how to use it in your favor. If we complete your investigation and can't find a legitimate solution — you pay nothing. That's not a policy. That's a promise.

How the Refund Works
+
We complete your full investigation. If we cannot add more value than what you could do yourself, you get every dollar back — automatically. No questions asked.
Who This Is For
+
This is for anyone who owes the IRS and hasn't resolved it — self-employed, W-2, business owners, prior failed attempts. We work with balances of any size — self-employed, W-2, business owners, prior failed attempts. We confirm eligibility on your intake call before you pay a cent.
When We Move Forward Together
+
Your $500 investigation fee credits in full toward your resolution fee. You're not paying for a diagnosis and then separately for treatment. It's one engagement, one team, one outcome.

Common Questions

The Questions
Everyone Actually Asks.

I already tried to handle this myself. Can you still help?
Yes — and this is one of the most common situations we see. Self-represented resolutions fail most often because taxpayers don't know how the IRS scores financial disclosures or which programs they actually qualify for. A prior failed OIC or broken installment agreement doesn't close the door. In most cases we can restart the process and position it correctly the second time.
How long does this actually take?
It depends on what the IRS investigation reveals. Penalty abatements and installment agreements can be resolved in 2–6 weeks. Offers in Compromise typically take 9–18 months from submission to IRS acceptance — that's not us dragging our feet, that's the IRS's own processing timeline. We tell you the realistic range during your investigation and keep you updated every two weeks without you having to ask.
My situation is complicated — unfiled returns, multiple years, maybe a business. Can you handle it?
That's our core work. Multi-year compliance issues, business payroll tax debt, mixed personal and business liability, cases spanning multiple states — we've seen all of it. Complicated cases are actually where the investigation matters most, because the IRS will use every gap against you if you're not careful. We close those gaps before they become leverage.
