Coming out of the gate they are attentive compassionate and reassuring they are working for you. As soon as you get financed to pay their fees you rarely hear from them. After sending in my documentation over a year ago I have no idea what I’m still paying for or what they negotiated.
I never received any type of statement via the mail that said this is what the irs says you owe and this is what we negotiated. No clear explanation of how they were able to reduce my tax debt. I don’t even know if they reduced my debt based on lack of any information. Instead I got an email that says the irs answered and lifted penalties for 2023 but haven’t answered for 2013 and 2017 but we negotiated a payment plan of $266 a month. No one asked if that amount was doable so I’m set up to fail on paying each month. And what is the payment plan for 2023 or all 3 years? Nothing is clear.
When I called today I was told we closed yoor account in November so you’ll have to log into the irs website to see what you owe. How is it possible they haven’t answered 2 years of my taxes and you’ve closed my case.
I paid $3000 on a finance plan for years 2013 and 2017 to help find out what I owe and why and how to resolve it. Then paid an additional $350 for the to do my 2023 easy form taxes and negotiate the penalties. Seems they only did the 2023 so I wasted $3000.

If I could warn any one person who…
If I could warn any one person who reads this, it's worth my time to give a review that should be a Negative -5, not even 1 star. Do not do business with these people. I have not spoken to one competent individual. I cannot even get a Contact email for the professionals allegedly named on my power of attorney. This is not a legal firm, it's a money billing fraud. The company is called Tax Network USA in Encino CA and I heard about them thru the podcast Candace Owens. She will get my feedback too.

Slow and sporadic communication.
I will preface with the fact that we had been blindsided by some change in withholding we did do or were unaware of some change with the IRS itself from 2022 to 2023 and had $10,000 less withheld from one year to the next. We were blindsided with owing SO MUCH MONEY!!!! and then again for 2024. We first contacted them in Dec2024 and were given an agent who took 3-4weeks to respond, every single time. When our taxes were finally filed around May, we were told they were rejected. It turns out they were filed under the wrong social security number. We were passed to a different agent. 2-3 months passed with weeks between coordinated phone calls. When taxes were refiled, the amount we owed increased by $5,000. We were passed through (or at least contacted by or told to contact) maybe six different agents. When we had money available to pay what we owed in full, we were advised not to, and that they would set up a payment plan. Fast forward a few more months. Any changes made or questions answered have come from long calls with the IRS agents themselves, I truly don’t know what the $4,000 paid toward TNUSA has accomplished, as what we owed somehow went up $5000. Penalties and interest stacking up due to months between communications. They field out 2023 and 2024 under different names as the primary. This has caused so much more stress on top of an already horribly stressful situation. I would have been better off using that to pay the IRS instead of TNUSA.

No results except threat of levy from the IRS
We have been paying for these services for a year with absolutely no results. We have been asked repeatedly to send the same documents over and over. Now we are facing possible property levy with absolutely no relief of action on this company's part. We heard about this org on the Rick and Bubbah radio show and will be writing Rick Burgess to share our honest reviews as well. VERY disappointed.

Please DO NOT use this company
Horrible service at Tax Scam Network USA, don't use. They'll tell you what you want to hear and that they'll help and get your debt to $0 or greatly reduced. They ignore you, transfer your case to 5-10 different case managers and delay delay to get more money. It's a cash grab scheme and nothing else. The customer service is horrendous and they miss appointments and then lie about the reasons. I wasn't even allowed to speak or go through my taxes with my tax preparer before submitting which was extremely concerning and confusing. They use your distress to make money. Then threaten to leave your case once it's close to completion to try and extort you for more money instead of completing the job you paid for. Please learn from my horrible mistake and don't use Tax Scam Network USA

WE WASTED $2,100 ON THIS SCAM OUTFIT
This company asked us for a $2,100 payment in advance, in July 2024, to negotiate with the IRS on our behalf. As of this date (December 1, 2025) they haven't even managed to provide a transcript showing how much we owe and for what. IRS has resumed collection activity. TNUSA stalled and played us along for a year and a half; they're no longer even responding to our emails. It appears that this company is a scam.

Be smart
Ok , my wife has issue with IRS because they have failed to return our emails, phone calls and faxes in the last 6 months. The shutdown isn’t the reason as government is inefficient.. We have legal court documents stating we are not responsible for the tax year in question so Tax Network USA said it was a no brainer and asked us for 3000 dollars to take care of but they never did. As with the IRS our emails , phone calls have for most part been ignored. Also we have requested an itemized bill since we would like refund on balance or full amount. Anyway , please take time to review the others out there who reviewed much better.

Tax Network USA is a terrible company.
Tax Network USA handed my case, specifically my sensitive tax information, to a subcontractor without my prior knowledge and informed consent. This action may violate federal law, and certainly violated professional standard and the service agreement signed after initial consult, a blatant breach of contract.
They were negligent, incompetent, or both as service agreement was signed on February 20,2025, they had all of my documents by March 13, 2025 confirmed by case manager, did nothing for almost 7 months, failed to file for a tax extension for my 2024 returns, and finally completed work on October 9, 2025 after they handed my case to the unauthorized subcontractor. This has resulted in thousands of dollars in penalties and interest as the 2024 returns were filed well past the April 15th deadline.
They have refused to answer any of my valid questions regarding these very serious concerns. This company has caused massive financial harm, and recklessly exposed my personal information without authorization.
Be very aware, read all reviews, do not fall prey to their false advertising as I did. I was lured into contacting them through their advertising campaign, they are a Tax Resolution Company, all communication by phone beginning with the initial consult, welcome letter, all phone appointments leading up to the final communication from them on 3/13/25 were tax resolution/settlement and relief based, I have all documentation and they have the recorded phone calls. I had to sign a POA for them to negotiate with the IRS on my behalf. I was told verbally, in all correspondence, and explicitly in the service agreement to have NO contact with the IRS myself, if I did that would be a breach of contract on my part. I was told to be patient, no news is good news. Thus as the 7 months went by I was misled into the belief that TNUSA was actively working my case, directly with the IRS. On October 10th, after emails and phone calls precipitated by me, I became fully aware of the egregious, possibly unlawful, and completely negligent manner my case was handled. I attempted for several weeks to give TNUSA the opportunity to discuss my concerns and reach a satisfactory agreement that addressed what had occurred with my case. I was treated with disrespect, rudeness, and TNUSA was unable to answer my valid questions. Thus I have had no recourse except to write reviews such as this one to warn the public about the company, I have filed formal complaints with the BBB, the Attorney General of California, the IRS, I will file an ethics complaint with the AICPA and will pursue civil litigation.
Update: They are not a member of the AICPA so I will file formal complaint with the California Board of Accountancy.
***Response to reply by Tax Network USA***
I will address each lie specifically.
1) My tax returns were prepared by a 3rd Party/Subcontractor. Never was any other entity besides TNUSA having access to my personal, private information discussed, verbally or in writing.
The service contract was "entered by and between Chantal Combs "client" and Tax Network USA "TNUSA", collectively referred to as the Parties". The section of the Service Agreement states as follows: "TNUSA will disclose the names of third-party contractors and obtain the informed consent of the client prior to subcontracting any professionals". If you have evidence that I was notified and gave my consent prior to the tranfer of my most sensitive and private information to any other company, produce it. If you have evidence that this issue was explained to me in detail during our correspondence, produce it. Now or in a court of law.
2) I was NEVER given notice of an extension being filed on my behalf. If it exists, produce it. I have attempted multiple times by email and phone to obtain answers to the very serious questions included in my complaint with NO response from TNUSA. The last communication from them was an extremely rude email and very brief phone call with the director of the QA department on 10/15/25. He could answer none of my questions, then hung up on me. I actually called this evening after seeing the lies in the response and the support person, upon reaching out to QA, hung up on me.
3) Your team completed none of the promised work. I have a multitude of written communications that involves many services explicitly detailed in bullet points and never delivered. Letters were signed "your resolution team". Call recordings that will be produced in a court of law will also be evidence of services discussed and promised. "Tax Prep only" taking TNUSA 7 months to complete is not a winning argument for you. Buyers beware.
Response from Tax Network USANov 7, 2025
As outlined in the service agreement that you reviewed and signed, the scope of services provided was tax preparation only. Our team completed all work as agreed upon and communicated this clearly throughout the process. Tax resolution or IRS negotiation services were not included in your engagement.
Your tax returns were prepared by Tax Network USA, not by an outside company. The name and address you referenced on your tax returns are those of our licensed tax preparation software, not a third-party service provider. This was explained to you in detail during our correspondence.
Additionally, an extension was properly filed on your behalf, and we provided you with proof of that filing.
We understand that tax matters can be stressful, and our goal is always to provide clear, accurate, and professional service within the terms of our engagement.
