How Collected Information is Used

The non-personally identifiable information that TaxReliefCenter.org collects is used for marketing and sales efforts to better target advertisements and other content in an effort to create a more personally relevant experience. The information is also used to predict responses to advertisements, and to help determine which ads perform best and which content is most appropriate for different individuals.

In addition, that information may be combined with information collected from other sources to assist with targeting ads to your preferences and behaviors, and for other TaxReliefCenter.org sales and marketing efforts.

Sharing Information with Third Parties

All personally identifiable information you provide is maintained in confidence by TaxReliefCenter.org. There are instances, however, in which your personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information is shared with third parties, as described below.

Your non-personally identifiable data may be shared with third-party partners of TaxReliefCenter.org on an anonymous basis. When you request information from TaxReliefCenter.org or one or more of our clients, we may transfer that information within TaxReliefCenter.org or route your information to our client(s), across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world, so that they may provide the information on their product or service that you requested.

Various 3rd party providers (including search engines) collect information about persons using those services, including visits to the TaxReliefCenter.org site. That does not include private or other identifying information supplied by those persons in the course of using this site. Similarly, such 3rd party providers share with us corresponding information generated by visits to other web sites and internet-based online services. You may opt out of such data collection and/or sharing feature of those 3rd party providers via the account preferences settings of each one (for example: Google via its "My Activity" feature).

In such situations, we will provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of such sharing. Please be aware that TaxReliefCenter.org is very careful in selecting companies with whom it does business.

In addition to the above situations where your information may be shared with others, there is also the possibility that TaxReliefCenter.org, or part(s) of the company, may one day be purchased by, or merged with, another company.

To the extent that you do provide us with personally identifiable information, TaxReliefCenter.org wishes to maintain the accuracy of this information. Where we collect personally identifiable information from you on the Web, our goal is to provide a means of contacting TaxReliefCenter.org should you need to update or correct that information.

California-Specific Matters (updated as of March 15, 2021)

Our webpages allow you to authorize us to collect such personal information and to disclose it to another party so that we can provide you the service(s) you request. We may receive a referral fee for doing so, which might be construed as “selling” your information even if only for the specific purpose that you have otherwise authorized.

Moreover, you may be entitled under the CCPA to request that we delete personal information you have provided to us when visiting one of our webpages.

To exercise any of the rights under the CCPA described here, please use the links above. Alternatively, you may send an email message to us.

We've served over 2.4 million people all across America in need of relief from IRS back taxes.

How It Works – 4 Simple Steps – The Free Tax Resolution Consultation
Individuals or businesses in need of IRS relief from back taxes call or submit a request online to receive a free consultation from tax resolution experts.
Tax relief specialists take the time to listen, understand your current situation and goals (including any immediate relief you may need to stop or prevent a wage garnishment, tax lien, or bank levy.)
Based on your unique circumstances, tax resolution experts apply existing tax relief code to provide your best options to get immediate relief and reach the lowest possible resolution with the IRS.
You may choose to resolve IRS back taxes on your own, or utilize the expertise of tax specialists who will negotiate the best possible IRS resolution or resolution on your behalf. There are no upfront retainer fees.
Common Questions About Tax Relief

Q: Why would the IRS agree to resolve back taxes for less?

A: There are a variety of reasons why the IRS agrees to work with taxpayers and resolve for less. Often individuals or families are experiencing financial hardship, whether through loss of a job or income, illness, extenuating business or marital circumstances, or a number of other reasons. In addition, there may be "doubt as to collectability", "doubt as to liability", "innocent spouse" or a variety of other tax relief options or tax appeal provisions under the current tax code. In addition, the IRS may lower your tax liability because they feel you simply don't have the financial ability to pay the full amount owed within the statutory time period.

Q: How Can the IRS Fresh Start Initiative Provide Relief for Taxpayers?

A. The IRS Fresh Start program is an effort on the part of the IRS to make it easier for financially distressed taxpayers to resolve back taxes as quickly as possible. Through a free tax relief consultation, taxpayers can find out if the leniency offered via Fresh Start can provide relief for IRS penalties, IRS liens, and also offer more streamlined processes for Installment Agreement and Offers in Compromise.

Q: What should you do if you've received a collection letter/notice from IRS?

A: Do not ignore IRS letters or enforcement notices. They may be auto-generated but, if ignored, they will lead to a wage garnishment, tax lien, bank account levy or other asset seizure or enforcement action. Stay in contact with the IRS and consider the advantages of a free tax relief consultation - speaking to tax relief specialists who can apprise you fully of your tax relief rights and options under the law and, at your request, negotiate directly with the IRS, to bring your case to a favorable resolution.

Q. How does a free tax relief consultation work?

A. As an individual or business, when you contact the IRS directly, you will likely be communicating with a frontline IRS collector whose task it is to collect on the total amount of tax liability assessed. Through a free tax relief consultation, you will have the opportunity to get a free and fair assessment from a tax relief specialist who can review with you all the circumstances surrounding the amount you owe the IRS, or the IRS claims you owe. In addition, the tax resolution specialist can also take the time to listen to you, understand what you are going through, and review the options available to reach the best possible resolution with the IRS.

Q. What are some of the most common reasons why taxpayers may qualify for relief?

Many people owe the IRS back taxes for a variety of reasons, in many cases due to unforeseen circumstances beyond their control - including personal or financial hardship, business hardship, medical issues and more. In addition, taxpayers may not have been able to file back taxes for one or more years, or feel they have been unfairly assessed. There also may be taxpayers who fall into the "currently not collectable" status because they simply cannot afford to pay the tax assessed. In many cases, taxpayers may qualify for relief via the IRS Fresh Start initiative.

Q: If I've fallen behind on my taxes and have the ability to pay the original amount but cannot afford to pay all the penalties and interest added on, can I pay the original amount?

A: Yes, you may qualify for a "Penalty Abatement" to remove penalties and interest. The IRS may waive penalties and interest for a variety of reasons including medical reasons, poor accounting advice, ignorance of the tax laws that apply, ex-spouse circumstances, the need to care and provide for a loved one, and more.

Q: Who can most benefit from tax relief assistance?

A: Typically, individuals and businesses who owe the IRS back taxes ranging from $10,000 to $250,000 or more can realize the greatest benefit from tax relief services. Tax relief specialists and attorneys have a depth of knowledge and expertise and understand how to apply current tax relief code to reach the best possible tax resolution on behalf of taxpayers - including those who have not filed returns for one or multiple years for a variety of reasons. In addition, tax relief can help individuals or businesses in need of immediate relief to stop or prevent a wage garnishment, tax lien, or bank account levy.

Q: What are the benefits of a free tax relief consultation?

A: For individuals and businesses who owe back taxes to the IRS and have an urgent need to stop or prevent IRS enforcement action and resolve IRS back taxes for substantially less than the full amount owed, a free tax relief consultation will provide an overview of the taxpayer's legal tax relief rights and options to resolve taxes and resolve for less. All tax relief consultations come with no obligation and there is no charge to get an honest assessment of your current situation and the realistic IRS resolution options available to you.
