Even so, situations like job losses, underestimating amounts owed, divorce and other unexpected life circumstances can cause taxpayers to fall behind.

Examples of Ohio Tax Reduction Programs

These programs can help many Ohio property owners reduce their tax burden:

  • Homestead: Available to qualifying senior citizens, surviving spouses of public service officers killed in the line of duty, and individuals with a permanent disability, this program can provide a partial property tax reduction.
  • Current agricultural use value: Owners of qualifying commercial farmland may be eligible for a tax break.
  • Damaged property: Certain structurally damaged properties can receive a reduction in their taxable value.
  • Owner occupancy: Property owners who live on their property can qualify for the Ohio Owner Occupancy Credit, which enables them to receive a tax credit for their primary residence.
  • Tax exemption: Ohio property owned or leased by a government entity or state-recognized charitable organization could qualify for tax-exempt status.

What Happens If You Can’t Pay Your Taxes in Ohio?

If you’ve fallen behind on your taxes, the IRS or Ohio Department of Taxation can pursue several forced collection tactics:

  • Bank levies: The taxing authority can take money from your bank account up to the amount required to satisfy your tax debt.
  • Wage garnishments: This method involves taking a portion of your wages each pay period until your liability is paid in full.
  • Liens: A tax lien gives the taxing authority the legal right to claim your property or assets to pay your tax debt.

How Does BC Tax Help With Tax Relief?

The BC Tax team includes CPAs, enrolled agents and tax professionals who understand the tax laws and how they impact Ohio residents like you. We’ll carefully assess your situation and determine the most practical and cost-effective solution.

We’ll remove the burden from your shoulders by contacting the IRS or Ohio Department of Taxation, which will delay any planned enforced collection activities. In a typical scenario, we’ll file for an abatement (reduction or elimination) of the penalty portion of your tax liability. We’ll then work with the taxing authority to set up an affordable installment agreement that enables you to pay your debt over time.

Many of our clients qualify for an offer in compromise — an agreement that settles your tax debt for less than the full amount you owe.

I had a WONDERFUL experience with Megan at BC Tax and highly recommend her and her firm!! From the start Megan was always SUPER responsive to my calls and messages and worked hard to keep me updated!! She was very professional and incredibly detailed and thorough and clear and patient in explaining all aspects of my case to me from the beginning to end on an ongoing basis as it evolved! Megan and BC Tax clearly demonstrated LOTS of knowledge and expertise in all tax matters and extensive experience in dealing with the IRS and thereby was an AMAZING advocate on my behalf! Megan and BC Tax works with high standards of honesty and integrity. Her work resulted in removal of most all of the tax liabilities which were were wrongfully posted on my account including the removal of massive penalties accruing over many years. More importantly I felt Megan took my case seriously and genuinely cared about me and about resolving my tax matter and I felt I could trust her and her firm to help me. I was correct and I am profoundly grateful!!! THANK YOU!!!

A friend mentioned BC Tax to me when I was dealing with IRS notices that kept piling up. From the first call, they broke everything down into language I could follow. What stood out most was how quickly they responded whenever I had a question. It made the whole process less stressful.
