California

If you live in California, you may be able to reduce what you owe to the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB), which is a part of the California Government Operations Agency. The FTB is responsible for administering the Homeowner and Renter Assistance program and collecting personal and business income taxes in California. They also collect child support liability, tax penalties and vehicle registration delinquencies.

Florida

Like all states, Florida requires residents to pay certain taxes. While these individuals don’t owe personal income tax, the State of Florida does collect sales, use, intangible and corporate income taxes. Also, individual counties in this state receive much of their funding through property taxes, which vary by county and the property’s value. In some cases, however, you may be able to benefit from tax exemptions that reduce how much you owe.

New York

There are ways you can reduce your tax liability or receive a refund in New York — one way is through the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). This New York tax relief program can make paying for your taxes easier if you earn a low- to moderate-income and meet other eligibility requirements.

Texas

While there is no individual income tax in Texas, there are other types of taxes, like property tax, that can quickly start to add up.

Luckily, there are ways for residents and business owners to reduce their tax liabilities. Here at BC Tax, we have a team of professionals ready to work with you and help you determine which relief programs you qualify for.

Illinois

Residing in Illinois brings the privilege of a rich history and diverse culture. It also comes with responsibilities, one of which is tax compliance. The State of Illinois is mindful of local taxpayers’ challenges — hence, it proudly offered one-time individual income and property tax rebates under the Illinois Family Relief Plan in 2022.

Ohio

Paying federal and state taxes is an annual obligation for most Ohio residents. Fortunately, the state offers several programs that can alleviate the tax burden. Even so, situations like job losses, underestimating amounts owed, divorce and other unexpected life circumstances can cause taxpayers to fall behind.

North Carolina

Situated in the southeastern portion of the United States, North Carolina offers everything from stunning mountain peaks to serene beaches, making it the perfect place to call home. Living and working in North Carolina, just like any other state, comes with some tax-paying responsibilities.  At BC Tax, our team of professionals is here to help you navigate North Carolina’s tax relief programs and determine which ones you may qualify for.

Georgia

Residents of the Peach State are required to pay state taxes for individual and corporate income. However, there are some laws that assist taxpayers, like the Georgia State Income Tax Cut of 2022, along with other tax refunds.

We hired BC Tax to help us resolve a tax debt, and nothing was actually resolved. The first major issue happened when we allowed their partner, Cornerstone, to file our taxes. They filed our federal return but failed to file our state return, and we didn’t find out until the state mailed us letters warning that a lien was about to be placed on us. When we asked about this, it was acknowledged that the state return had not been filed and were told we would need to pay an additional fee for them to do so. After expressing my frustration because filing taxes typically includes both federal and state returns, and that we should have been informed that state filing wasn’t being included. Cornerstone eventually waived the fee and filed the state return. BC Tax then began placing protection orders on our accounts. Despite BCTAX having power of attorney for a long period, nothing was ever resolved. No payment arrangement was ever set with the IRS, and no options were discussed. The only action they consistently took was placing us on protection holds to prevent levies and garnishments. Whenever we asked about progress, the answer was always that they were “waiting to see what our state payments would be, before working on an agreement with the IRS” even though the state taxes weren’t completed until a year after we hired them. We were repeatedly asked to submit account and income information for the IRS, yet no resolution ever followed. The way our contract ended was also extremely unprofessional. We were sent a single email—no call, no explanation of next steps—just a phone number for the state hardship department. I had to ask what our IRS status was, and we still never received a clear answer. The only guidance given was that the IRS “will request income verification every so often.” Throughout the process, their tax associate often seemed irritated by my follow‑up questions, and would always reference us as “you folks” in nearly every conversation. However, once asked not to reference us that way she did stop. Now that our contract has ended, we still have an unresolved IRS balance, no payment arrangement, no clear direction on next steps, and only spreadsheets showing that all they did was request levy protection. We were even told in a conversation where their tax associate and I were both frustrated with one another that they were “working for free,” despite us paying the amount they requested when hired. Apparently their price only covered the initial investigation work, not continued assistance?? “ (I'm still unclear what was meant by that because they continued to work with us and we were never told we owed them money or received any bill). We may not have been their easiest clients because of all the questions and clarification needed but at the end of the day they didn’t hire us, we hired them to help resolve a tax debt. Instead, we are now left searching for actual tax attorneys to finish what BC Tax never truly started. I gave them two stars only because they did place protection orders to protect us from garnishments beyond that, they accomplished nothing other than a temporary fix during the years they were hired and we have the same problem we originally hired them for.
Amanda was invaluable in helping us build a strong defense during a recent audit. Her expertise and dedication made all the difference, and she helped us achieve a very favorable outcome. We’re incredibly grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her!

I was in serious arrears regarding my tax liability to the IRS, owing close to $500,00 in back taxes. Nicole Teshima represented me, and handled my case with compassion and determination. The end result was a payment plan I have been able to keep up, over $100,000 in penalties and interest removed, and hundreds of thousands saved.
