Florida Tax Relief Information

Home | State Tax Relief Information | Florida Tax Relief Information

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.

If you need assistance understanding Florida tax information or identifying exemptions you may qualify for, contact our helpful tax consultants at BC Tax today. We offer tax help for individuals and small businesses in Florida and nationwide. Learn more about Florida tax exemptions you may qualify for below.

Homestead Exemption, Save Our Homes Assessment Limitation and Portability Transfer

Florida’s Homestead Exemption dictates that if someone permanently resides in a property they own, they may qualify to receive an exemption that would diminish its taxable value by up to $50,000. This exemption makes the home eligible for the Save Our Homes assessment limitation, where a homeowner can transfer a fraction or all of the difference to a new Florida homestead.

Property owners or first responders who are senior citizens, widows or widowers, veterans, or active duty military service members or have disabilities might qualify for additional property tax exemptions or benefits. Likewise, buildings with particular uses, like charter school facilities, religious buildings or hospitals, may be eligible for property tax exemptions or benefits.

Fallen Heroes of Family Tax Relief Act

If you’re a surviving spouse of a first responder who died in the line of duty, you could be eligible for a homestead property exemption.

Hurricane Ian Relief

Individuals or businesses affected by Hurricane Ian may qualify for tax relief if they reside or conduct business within the covered disaster area. Individuals or the family members of individuals who visited the covered disaster area and were killed or harmed might qualify for Hurricane Ian tax relief.

Additionally, relief workers who assisted in Hurricane Ian relief efforts and are recognized by a government or philanthropic organization may be eligible for Florida tax exemptions.

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.

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.
