Reliable Tax Relief Attorneys Serving Utah
Utah uses a flat individual income tax (4.55% for 2024; reduced to 4.50% beginning in 2025 under recent legislation). The state’s sales & use tax is layered by locality, so totals vary by city/county. Seniors may qualify for property tax relief through programs like Circuit Breaker, abatement, and deferral administered with county assessors. Utah has also expanded Social Security relief via credits/exemptions for many retirees. We help Utah residents and businesses navigate IRS disputes, Utah State Tax Commission filings, refunds, and county-level property programs.
