Tax Relief Lawyers in Bethesda

The term "tax relief" can refer to various different things in Bethesda, Maryland. But, it is normally used to refer to some action that reduces the tax liability of an individual, corporation, or a certain category of individuals.

When you hear the term "tax relief" used by an elected official, or someone running for office, they're almost exclusively talking about tax cuts, which would presumably apply to the speaker's target audience. A tax cut is simply a reduction in the percentage of one's income (or whatever else is being taxed) that they have to pay in taxes.

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 typically claim that they will have brilliant lawyers negotiate with the IRS or Maryland 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 Bethesda, Maryland

Scammers in Bethesda, Maryland often claim that they can employ some exceptional method enabling you pay the IRS less than you truly owe, or even erase your tax debt.

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

One of the biggest signs of a scam is an explicit guarantee or promise that the company can deliver a certain result. This is simply not a promise that any tax relief professional can rationally make. Every case is different, and in many (if not most) cases, the taxpayer will not be suitable for any legal measures that can reduce their tax liability. An honest tax relief organization in Bethesda, Maryland will be very upfront about this fact.

And if a tax relief organization demands up-front payment, this should raise a big red flag for you. Many scammers in Bethesda, whether they're vowing tax relief, or anything else, will take your money, and then disappear, without even pretending to try to advise you. The worst of the worst will also take the money you agreed to pay them, and then make unlawful charges to your credit card, or withdrawals from your bank account.
