Tax Relief Lawyers in Irondequoit

"Tax relief" is a term used to describe a few different concepts in Irondequoit, New York. It sometimes refers to actions that lower the tax rate that some taxpayers are obligated to pay.

When you hear the term "tax relief" used by an elected official, or someone running for office, they're almost always 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.

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 secret technique that can get New York 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 Irondequoit, New York

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

In most cases, however, these people have absolutely no legal means to actually help their "clients" ("victims" is the more accurate term), and will simply take your money and disappear. Thankfully, these scams in Irondequoit, New York usually have a few elements that are dead giveaways, which you should always be on the look out for if you're considering hiring someone offering "tax relief."

Probably the strongest indication that a tax relief organization is a scam is a guarantee that they can deliver a certain result. If anyone makes an unequivocal promise that they can eliminate your tax debt, they are lying to you, plain and simple. This is because it is impossible to honestly make such a promise. The fact is, most people are not eligible for any IRS programs that let some taxpayers reduce their tax liability. This goes for most people in Irondequoit, New York, as well.

Another red flag to look for is a demand of a large up-front payment. Many tax relief scammers in Irondequoit 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.

How Can a Tax Relief Attorney in Irondequoit, New York Help?

If you find that you are unable to pay your taxes, through no fault of your own, you may be tempted to answer an advertisement for a "tax relief" company. Before that, you should speak with an Irondequoit, New York tax lawyer.

A good Irondequoit, New York tax attorney can give you honest, unbiased legal advice that will be useful in handling any problem you have with your taxes. Of course, as you probably know, honest advice is, more often than not, the opposite of what one wants to hear, even if it is more useful than whatever puffery you'll hear from a scammer. Plus, in the extremely unlikely event that your tax attorney defrauds you, it will be much easier to seek legal action against a licensed attorney than against some scammer who probably doesn't use his or her real name.
