Paid TDN almost 3 times the going rate just to be ignored. Keep switching me from one tax agent to another without any notification so you don't know who to contact and when you do try and contact anyone they pretend to listen, promise to call you back and then avoid you like the plaque! I've been patiently waiting for almost a year and still get the run around. They don't do what they promise and just want your hard earned money! Run far away from TDN!

This is my 3rd review. I'm one of those people that never write reviews but I'm so upset with the lack of service I feel a need to warn everyone I can about them. I started this process back in 2017 to help my wife settle some debt with the IRS, their sales team is amazing and know just what to say to get you to sign, but that's when it starts going downhill. Once you sign and pay they file a general package with the IRS - something you can do yourself that would take a few months for a reply but nothing special, they only save you the time it takes for the IRS to reply. Once it's filed they disappear, all the emails you get saying call this number or email us here leads to a general call center with staffers that say they are going to help or looking into the matter but you don't hear back for weeks. It's up to you to follow up with them and get them to get working on your case. They have offered to give me less then half of my money back if I go away. At this point, they have cost me 2x of what I have paid them since I'm now locked into a payment contract with the IRS so nothing can roll off at this point. If TDN reads this, I'm happy to speak with someone that can help me or will reply to my emails asking for help or what your team sold me to start which was a legal team that will fight for me until all options are exhausted. I paid thousands of dollars for something that I could have done myself at this point considering the amount of time I spend trying to get a hold of your team. Check your phone logs and emails -

I had to remove my review for this company because I was threatened with legal recourse... Because I did sign a contract when they did refund me a “small portion” of the thousand’s of dollars I spent with them. Do your research. That’s all

Complete crap. I told them my situation and the woman I spoke with put me on hold to speak with an "attorney". lol She tried to use scare tactics to get me to sign off on spending $6600 with them. I let her know that the state I used to live in was trying to charge me $6000 in back taxes when I only lived there for 1.5 years. I said it had to be a mistake and that it should go down, she said I was wrong and if anything it would go up. She tried to get me to apply for a loan right then. Long story short, my situation was unique, I went to a local CPA where I live who charged me $2200 in total to file all 7-years of my back taxes for Fed and State. I ended up owing for some years and getting refunds for others. In the end I received back $4100 in refunds after back taxes, fees, and penalties were settled. Not to mention the $6000 state back tax issue WAS a mistake on the states part and I ended up getting back $400 from them! I got all of this done for $4400 less than what the Tax Scam Network was going to charge me without even fully looking into my case and what it would take to rectify it. This place is a joke and with my experience and the high number of negative reviews I've seen online, I would never recommend them to anyone. They prey on people in bad situations and try to scare them even more into signing off on their ridiculously high prices. Anyone who has tax issues should research a local, reputable, CPA or actual tax attorney that they can speak with and then meet with in person. Not some random clown who calls them after an inquiry and is paid commission on the number of people they sell into spending more money than they should. Had I not been in sales since I was 23-years old I might have been duped by this place and if so I would have paid them what I paid my CPA plus the entire refund I received back. Do your research people, you can remedy your tax issues for much less than this clown show place will rob you of.

I too was fooled by the 5 Star ratings. In fact I specifically didn't use Optima Tax service because of the ratings on TDN site. In the end, my taxes were not reduced at all. They were $42K before I contacted TDN and now they are $42K + penalties and another $4.5K to TDN for refiling 5 years of taxes. I don't dispute that getting several years of tax filings corrected has value, but I promise that value is not $5,000. Save yourself the trouble and hire a definitive Tax Attorney, not some outsourcing middle man like TDN or Optima. H & R Block could have refiled those years for $150/per year. That's on me, I believed.

I was fooled by the five stars reviews and it was a deciding factor in hiring the company to help me deal with an IRS case, the IRS were demanding 59K from me due to filing errors done by my ex for multiple years while I was deployed overseas. one year late and thousands of dollars paid in advance to the company I owe more than 63K it is not a scam but its not a law office that will go to bat for you, basically it is an web company that assigns a local lawyer to "handle" your case but in reality all they do is go through the motion and fill out paperwork for you that you can do yourself and save yourself thousands of dollars. don't make the same mistake and hire real lawyers

I spoke with a Consultant whose name was Aja and I found her aggressive and rude. I am a customer calling for a consultation and she was chastising, insulting and lacking in any customer service skills. Please remember this is a service your a providing for a fee. It is not a free service. She says she is direct and honest; but, what she is/was very, very unprofessional. I will be sure to notify BBB and Consumer Affairs of my experience. Note: When I informed her that I felt as though I was being attacked and I was ending the call she replied with a "Fine".

Let me start by saying this...it's not about the IRS settlement. I'm not sure what the did or did not do, they never returned emails and when I called them, I only got voicemail, and they never called me back. They negotiated a payment plan that didn't lower the amount I owed the IRS just streatched out the years I would be paying them. I am paying TDN over $4000.00 for their service. Dealing with the IRS is stressful but no more stressful than dealing with TDN. I would shop around and be weary of TDN's sales pitch.
