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.

Since we founded our firm in 2002, our mission has been to assist our clients with tax preparation and tax debt resolution. Trust us to help you attain the most favorable outcome for your situation.

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.

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
