+ What is tax relief?
Tax relief refers to any program that helps reduce the taxes people owe or develops a repayment plan they can afford. Tax relief is part of the IRS's stick and carrot approach to getting people to pay their taxes. The stick includes IRS audits, fines, liens and levies, garnishments, public auctions, and interest payments for taxpayers who pay late or don't file their tax returns. Tax relief is the carrot, which includes programs like installment agreements, offers in agreement, and currently not collectible (CNC), to mention a few.
