San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/02/2014 -- BestDebtCompanys.com (BDC) named Tax Defense Network their top-rated tax relief company based on a critical review process involving 11 industry-specific criteria.

Companies in the tax relief industry offer customers assistance in navigating the complicated world of dealing with the IRS. The services these companies provide vary almost as much as the financial situations of customers they assist, including help with an Offer in Compromise, tax appeals, abatements and more.

“As no two consumers have the same financial history, it’s so important that tax relief companies offer assistance for a broad range of situations and that they really understand how tax laws apply to each,” BDC site manager, John Toolson, said. “We try our best to aid consumers in finding companies, like the Tax Defense Network, who can really deliver on that.”

In order to best assist consumers in finding the perfect company to meet their needs, BDC assembled an 11-point rating process for the tax relief industry. Each of thirty-three companies reviewed on the site is evaluated against those criteria, including: price, time in business, the variety of services offered, whether the company has CPA’s and attorneys on staff, membership in professional associations, government certifications, their refund policy, and customer reviews.

Tax Defense Network (profile found here: http://bestdebtcompanys.com/taxrelief/tax-defense-network-review/) excelled in their review, receiving a 9.6 rating out of 10 possible points. Their success is due largely to their track record after 17 years in business. They offer a broad range of services to meet their customers’ needs, including assistance with: offers in compromise, installment agreements, tax liens, bank levies, payroll tax issues, and asset seizures. Their ability to deliver on these services is evidenced by their A+ Better Business Bureau rating and outstanding customer review score of 9.8 out of 10.

Tax Defense Network also excelled in criteria involving certifications and employee qualifications, which is important for companies working in highly regulated industries like tax relief assistance. They have both Attorneys and CPA’s on staff, government certification as an enrolled agent and membership in a number of professional tax-related associations.

“The team [at Tax Defense Network] was very efficient and truthful from the very beginning,” BDC site visitor, Ted V., said. “No miracles were promised but they correctly summed up my situation, my goals and their expectations prior to commitment. They were also very flexible on payment terms and did not require any substantial investment to begin work.”

The BDC staff takes consumer education very seriously and was impressed by Tax Defense Network’s expansive offering in educational materials. These are made available at no cost to any visitor of their site. In addition to online materials, they also offer free consultations, reports, and a chat feature.
