Tax Relief
Tax relief refers to any IRS program or policy designed to help qualified taxpayers manage, reduce, or settle their tax liability. JBD Tax Resolution specializes in finding the most effective solution for your tax challenges through a wide range of services.
JBD Tax Resolution’s trusted approach to tax relief delivers clients unmatched clarity, service, and results.
Step One: It starts with a complimentary consultation.
Step Two: Our Investigation Department performs a thorough review of your tax situation to develop the best possible solutions for your individual case.
Step Three: Our highly experienced team of tax attorneys, CPAs, and enrolled agents (EAs) will negotiate with the IRS on your behalf to secure the most favorable outcome. If you owe state taxes along with federal (IRS) tax issues, our team will manage those issues as well.
Each case is different and comes with its own set of challenges. While most tax relief cases are resolved in 2 to 12 months, we’ll be able to provide a more accurate estimate once we assess the complexity of your situation. The timeline will depend on your level of cooperation and the response time from the IRS or state authority. Rest assured, we’ll do everything we can to achieve the best outcome in the shortest time possible.

A tax settlement can significantly reduce the taxpayer’s overall liability, giving them a fresh start.

Tax Audit
Tax audit representation involves a tax professional representing you during or after an IRS or state audit. The professional will handle communications and meetings with the IRS on your behalf.
Audits may be triggered by factors such as unreported income, unclear expenses, repeated losses, or excessive deductions.
If you’re audited, provide the IRS with the requested information. Consulting with a tax professional can help you handle the situation effectively.
Yes. The main types are:
- Correspondence Audit – Handled through mail
- Office Audit – In-person meeting at an IRS office
- Field Audit – IRS agent visits your home or business
There’s no shortcut to escaping an audit once selected. However, working with an experienced tax professional can improve your outcome.
Once the IRS reviews your information, they’ll assess any taxes and penalties owed. You may have the option to appeal or negotiate a settlement.
If you can’t afford the bill, you may qualify for an installment agreement or hardship resolution. A tax professional can help you explore your options.
