Tax Relief Lawyers in Killeen

"Tax relief" is a term commonly used to discuss a few different concepts. It often refers to any action that would reduce the tax rates, either for everyone, or for certain groups of people in Killeen, Texas, or anywhere else.

When the term "tax relief" is used in the media, it's usually in the context of a politician, or someone running for elected office, promising that they'll reduce tax rates. Basically, "tax relief" is, in this context, another term for "tax cut."

However, when most people think of "tax relief," they are thinking of an individual, law firm, or corporation that claims to offer a way to get out of paying some or all of one's back taxes. They usually claim that they will have skilled lawyers negotiate with the IRS or Texas tax authorities, to reduce your tax liability. While some of these businesses are legitimate, there are also many scams in this area.

Tax Relief Scams in Killeen, Texas

Many scammers in Killeen, Texas claim that they can completely relieve you of your obligation to pay your taxes - for a fee, of course.

But buyer beware: these scammers in Killeen, Texas, and elsewhere, cannot possibly deliver on their promises, and they know it. Luckily, most tax relief scams have a few common factors that can give them away to vigilant consumers.

There is one warning sign that virtually guarantees that the tax relief company you're dealing with intends to defraud you: if they make an unequivocal guarantee that they can lower your tax bill. While there are some legal ways to try and reduce your tax obligation, including negotiating with the IRS, there is no guarantee that they will succeed. And although the IRS does have programs to assist people who are truly unable to pay for their taxes, they are only available to very small subset of the population, and most Killeen, Texas taxpayers aren't eligible to participate in them.

Another red flag to look for is a demand of a large up-front payment. Many tax relief scammers in Killeen will not even pretend to try and help you. Instead, they simply take the money and disappear, sometimes after making additional, and unauthorized, charges to your credit card or withdrawals from your bank account.
