 TITLE: How Does Tax Relief Work? CONTENT: What Is Tax Relief?\n-------------------\nTax relief really means setting up a payment plan or negotiating a settlement with the IRS—it's not about erasing your tax obligation. Rather, it's about making it easier to take care of the tax debt you owe.\nVictims of natural disasters, such as hurricanes and wildfires, are sometimes offered special tax relief as well. Disaster victims may qualify for deadline extensions and may be eligible to claim casualty losses on their federal income tax returns. You can learn more about special tax relief on the IRS' website.
