What is a tax relief signing?
Just got emailed to do one and I can't find anything in the search. Only want to offer $50 to sign.

I've only signed one
It was a loan on future tax return, about 30 pages. Similar to a small refi or heloc.

My bad, I looked it up in my records.
It was a loan towards property taxes. Package size was 29 pages. http://www.taxease.com/

Check your state laws. Your state may have a vehicle for reducing property taxes on declining property values, or a provision for reducing property taxes on senior citizens once they reach a certain age and perhaps the documents needs to be notarized. It may be a one or two page document.
I am not familiar with any such signing. Here in CA, property tax reductions can be done online and don't require a notary.

It is for those who owe Uncle Sam lots of money in back taxes. You have seen the ads: We will get your taxes owed reduced to pennies on the dollar. Attorneys are willing to do them for those who owe over $10,000.
I've done several lately - 9 pages, faxed or scanned back. Don't need to send paperwork back or if so, by snail mail. The intro page to client says it will take 12 mins to fill out paperwork. I time mine - 9 min, 10 mins, 14 because I talked too much. You can negotiate more - I have been successful when they are further away or conditions warrant it.

I've done one of these, quick and easy. It's like debt settlement. Someone owes Uncle Sam back taxes that they can't pay. They hire a firm to negotiate the taxes down.
The one I had was a while back, I don't think there were any notarizations to do. Just read them a prepaired statement and have them sign the contract.

Interesting...and wondering
Do you have to 'represent' yourself and sign something saying you are 'an agent of the co'?

I had to state that I was a field agent for the company.

Re: Interesting...and wondering
I just stated I was doing this on behalf of .... Nothing I was asked to do, but just as I always do in regular confirmation call. I read nothing except the opening page where it said:
Hi Mr. so & so - this should take 12 mins. for fill out....Then I added that if we talk it will take longer.
They laugh, I watch the time.....lol
