Tax Relief Lawyers in Guilford

"Tax relief" in Guilford, Connecticut can refer to a wide range of subjects. However, it almost exclusively refers to lowering the tax liability, either of an individual, or a group of individuals.

When a politician or other government official uses the term "tax relief," they're mostly often talking about tax cuts, or some other actual or prospective government action which would reduce the tax liability of some individuals or corporations.

Increasingly, however, the general public is being inundated with advertisements on the Internet, the radio, and in print, from companies offering "tax relief" to consumers who owe back taxes in amounts that will be difficult or impossible to pay back. These companies claim to have some unique technique that can get Connecticut residents out of paying their taxes, or at least negotiate their final tax bill down to a smaller amount. Some of these companies are legitimate, but many of them are total frauds.

Tax Relief Scams in Guilford, Connecticut

Some con-artists in Guilford, Connecticut say that they have some unique technique that allows you to reduce the amount of taxes you're legally required to pay, or that they can erase any tax debt that you have incurred.

In the majority of cases, however, tax relief scammers in Guilford, Connecticut have no actual capacity to reduce your legal liability to pay your taxes. However, these scams also have numerous common factors which tend to be dead giveaways of their fraudulent nature, making them fairly easy to avoid if you are extremely vigilant.

One of the biggest warning signs that one should look for is an absolute promise that someone can eliminate your tax debt. This is simply not a promise that anyone can honestly make. While the IRS does have programs to assist people who are truly unable to pay their back taxes, through no fault of their own, they only apply in the most extreme cases, so the vast majority of taxpayers in Guilford, Connecticut don't qualify for them.

Furthermore, you should be wary of anyone promising tax relief, but demands payment immediately, before they actually do anything. Many scammers in Guilford will convince their victims to pay them upfront, and then simply take the money and run. They may even make additional, illegal, charges to your credit card or bank account.
