New York Tax Relief Information

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.

No matter where you live in New York, BC Tax is here to make sure you understand your options when you have to pay back taxes or want to reduce your tax penalties.

How Much Tax Debt Do You Have?

What Is the EITC?

The EITC can help you reduce your tax burden. The EITC is a refundable federal tax credit that can minimize your tax liability and help you take advantage of a refund. Along with the federal relief credit, there is also a New York state earned income credit available. This credit can supplement the federal relief and is based on your adjusted gross income.

Who Qualifies for the EITC?

Here’s who can qualify for the EITC:

Individuals with a valid Social Security number for themselves and for any qualifying children before the tax return due date.
Individuals who earned income from a part-time or full-time job.
Individuals who didn’t claim a noncustodial parent earned income credit.
Individuals who qualified for the federal EITC and claimed it or could have claimed it.

Is the New York EITC Refundable?

How much of this credit is refundable depends on your residency status. The credit is:

Fully refundable to full-year residents
Partially refundable to part-year residents
Nonrefundable to nonresidents

Important Distinction: Tax Consultant vs. Attorney Representation

I want to clarify both the timeline and why this experience remains relevant today.

My issue with BC Tax occurred approximately five months ago. While that period has passed, the actions taken by the non-attorney tax consultant assigned to my case continue to surface in my current interactions, despite my account now being handled successfully and professionally by an attorney-led tax firm.

This is why the experience remains concerning.

When I made the decision to disengage from BC Tax due to the consultant’s conduct, she immediately contacted the taxing authority in a disparaging manner upon withdrawing her power of attorney. That action created a narrative and paper trail that has followed my case forward—long after I moved on and secured proper legal representation.

This highlights an important distinction consumers should understand:

BC Tax is a tax consulting firm, not a law firm.
The individuals handling cases are tax consultants, not licensed attorneys.

That distinction matters.

• Tax consultants are not held to the same ethical, legal, or professional standards as attorneys
• They do not operate under attorney licensing boards or legal codes of conduct
• Their actions can still materially affect a taxpayer’s case, even after the relationship ends

To be fair and accurate:
The owner, Mr. Barr, was kind, and Mr. Herr, whom I initially spoke with, was professional and helpful. Unfortunately, the consultant ultimately assigned to my case undermined that initial experience and created lasting complications.

I am now working with an attorney-led tax firm, where my matter is being handled with professionalism, discretion, and results—without volatility or retaliation.

I am sharing this review so others can make fully informed decisions. When dealing with serious tax matters, representation matters, and there is a meaningful difference between working with a tax consultant and working with licensed attorneys.

Amanda Lira and her team at BC Tax really performed very well for us. After struggling to recover a tax refund for more than two years, Amanda got it done in less than 6 months. Highly recommend Amanda!

I came to BC Tax after nearly two years of angst with my former CPA and his inability to work with the IRS and get my taxes done in a timely manner and an audit closed. I was hesitant to go with BC Tax as I had not heard of them, however, after speaking with Corrinda I decided to go with them. Corrinda was wonderful, responsive and worked with the IRS to remove a late filing penalty due to my former CPA's lack of timeliness. She and Margaret responded to my emails and answered all of my questions. I would definitely recommend them to anyone struggling to work with the IRS to get an audit completed. D. Walton
