Tax relief software FAQ
The category questions we hear most, answered without a sales pitch.
What is tax relief software?
Tax relief software helps taxpayers see IRS account information, understand what happened, build a response, or monitor later changes.
What is tax resolution software?
Tax resolution software is professional software for IRS collection cases that can retrieve or analyze transcripts, organize case facts, calculate collection options, prepare forms, manage client work, and preserve evidence of what a firm did.
What’s the difference?
Tax relief software is built for taxpayers; tax resolution software is built for the professionals who represent them. Some products, like Brevitax, offer both.
Is this the same as TurboTax?
No. Tax preparation software prepares and files returns. Tax relief software deals with an existing balance, notice, or collection problem.
Is there a free option?
Yes. The IRS Online Account, Direct Pay, and the Offer in Compromise Pre-Qualifier are free government tools. Paid software adds explanation, history, planning, or monitoring.
Can software stop a levy?
No software can press a button and stop an IRS levy. A collection hold may need to be requested by phone, and urgent enforcement issues may require a qualified representative.
