Question 1

How quickly can you stop IRS collection actions in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

We can typically halt IRS collection actions within 24-48 hours of being retained. Once we file the proper representation paperwork, the IRS must deal directly with us instead of contacting you. This immediate relief gives us time to analyze your situation and develop the best resolution strategy. No more surprise bank levies or wage garnishments while we work on your case. The key is acting quickly when you first receive IRS notices. The sooner we get involved, the more options we have to protect your assets and negotiate favorable terms.

Question 2

What tax resolution options are available for Hemlock Farms residents?

Accepted Answer

Pennsylvania residents have several resolution options depending on their financial situation. An Offer in Compromise allows you to settle for less than you owe if you qualify based on income and assets. Payment plans spread your debt over time with manageable monthly payments. We can often negotiate reduced penalties and interest as part of these arrangements. For residents facing financial hardship, Currently Not Collectible status temporarily stops collection while you get back on your feet. We also handle penalty abatements, innocent spouse relief, and audit representation.

Question 3

How do Pennsylvania state taxes affect my IRS resolution?

Accepted Answer

Pennsylvania's flat 3.07% income tax and local tax obligations can complicate federal tax resolution strategies. We coordinate with both federal and state authorities to ensure your resolution plan addresses all tax debts. State tax liens can be just as damaging as federal liens to your credit and assets. We work with Pennsylvania Department of Revenue to resolve state issues alongside your IRS problems. Many resolution strategies that work for federal taxes also apply to state taxes. Having one firm handle both saves you time and ensures consistent strategy across all your tax obligations.
