Question 1

How much do tax preparers charge in Apolacon?

Accepted Answer

Professional tax preparation fees depend on what needs to be done and how complex your situation is. Simple individual returns cost less than business returns or cases involving back taxes and IRS problems.

We provide clear pricing after reviewing your specific situation. For tax resolution work, we credit 100% of any consultation fee toward the services if you move forward. No surprise bills or hidden charges later.

The real cost is what happens when tax problems aren't handled properly. Penalties, interest, and collection actions end up costing far more than professional preparation from the start.

Question 2

Can you stop IRS wage garnishments and bank levies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can often stop collection actions quickly while working on the underlying tax debt. The key is acting fast and knowing the right procedures to follow with the IRS.

Wage garnishments and bank levies don't happen overnight. The IRS sends multiple notices before taking collection action. But once they start, you need someone who knows how to work within their system to get relief.

We evaluate your financial situation and determine whether an installment agreement, offer in compromise, or other resolution makes sense. Then we handle the paperwork and negotiations to stop the collection actions.

Question 3

What if I haven't filed business tax returns for years?

Accepted Answer

Unfiled business returns are more common than you think, especially when small business owners get overwhelmed by Pennsylvania's multiple tax requirements. The important thing is getting compliant before penalties and interest make everything worse.

We start by gathering documentation for each missing year and determining what forms need to be filed. Pennsylvania businesses often need to file corporate income tax, sales tax, and employment tax returns with different deadlines and requirements.

Getting back into compliance usually involves negotiating penalty reductions while filing the missing returns. The IRS and Pennsylvania Department of Revenue are more willing to work with businesses that are trying to get current.

Question 4

Do you handle Pennsylvania Department of Revenue problems?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we deal with all Pennsylvania state tax issues including income tax, sales tax, and business tax problems. State authorities can be just as aggressive as the IRS when it comes to collection actions and penalties.

Pennsylvania has different rules, deadlines, and procedures than federal requirements. Many tax preparers only handle federal issues and leave you to figure out state problems alone, which often makes things worse.

We resolve state and federal issues together because they impact each other. Pennsylvania's corporate income tax rate changes, sales tax nexus rules, and local tax requirements all affect your overall compliance strategy.

Question 5

How long does tax problem resolution take?

Accepted Answer

Simple issues like filing missing returns typically take a few weeks. Complex cases involving negotiations with the IRS or Pennsylvania Department of Revenue usually take several months to fully resolve.

The timeline depends on what needs to be done and how quickly tax authorities respond to our submissions. We can often stop collection actions immediately while working on permanent solutions.

What matters is getting started with professionals who know the process. Tax problems get more expensive and complicated the longer you wait. Early intervention almost always leads to better outcomes.

Question 6

Why hire tax preparers instead of doing it myself?

Accepted Answer

DIY tax software works for simple situations, but it can't handle complex problems or represent you when things go wrong. If you're dealing with business taxes, IRS issues, or Pennsylvania compliance problems, you need professional expertise.

Software doesn't understand Pennsylvania's specific requirements or how they interact with federal rules. It can't negotiate with tax authorities or develop strategies that actually minimize your tax burden legally.

Most importantly, when problems arise after filing, software companies don't fix them. Professional tax preparers stand behind their work and handle issues that develop later, which protects you from costly mistakes.
