Tax Defense Network Partners with the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association to Give Relief to Drivers

JACKSONVILLE, FL, July 18, 2012 (Press-News.org) Tax Defense Network is proud to announce its recent partnership with the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA), an international trade organization representing independent owner-operators and professional drivers since 1973.

Tax Defense Network is experienced in the tax problems and accounting challenges that owner-operators are often confronted with. The company assists over 150 owner-operators with over $1 million dollars in trucking tax debt per month. Tax Defense Network employs tax consultants with CDL training, former transportation professionals, and former operators to assist truck drivers who need help with back taxes.

"A larger part of our owner-operator clientele has not filed returns in several years, leading the IRS to file a Substitute for Return. The IRS and state agencies will then tax our owner-operators at the highest possible rate with no allowance for the appropriate credits, deductions, or dependents. This creates quite a substantial amount of tax debt, which [many of our] professional s cannot afford right now," Vanessa Borges, Director of the firm's Tax Preparation Department, stated.

Tax Defense Network's in-house legal department, Foxhound, specializes in preparing and filing past year returns, an additional perk the drivers receive for becoming a Tax Defense Network client. The company also employs Tax Attorneys, ex-IRS agents, and Enrolled Agents who have all completed a special training program focusing on the trucking industry and the tax-related challenges that come with being an owner-operator.

Tax Defense Network is offering a $500 discount to owner-operators as part of their partnership with OOIDA.

"The transportation industry is vital to the country's economy, and the drivers go through so much to get the job done. It's time someone gave them some real tax and legal guidance so they can keep their rig on the road," stated Trudi Benko, Client Care Manager of Tax Defense Network.

Tax Defense Network is a national tax debt relief firm, assisting thousands of taxpayers monthly, seeing over $3.3 billion dollars worth of tax debt since its inception. Tax Defense Network's high standard of ethics has helped it maintain an "A" rating with the Better Business Bureau. Tax Defense Network advises all taxpayers to act quickly if they owe IRS back taxes.
