Question 1

How much does tax resolution cost in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

Costs depend on your specific situation and the complexity of your tax problems. Simple payment plan setups typically cost less than cases involving multiple years of unfiled returns or business tax issues.

All County Tax Resolution provides transparent pricing after your free consultation. We review your case details and explain exactly what services you need and what they cost. No surprises or hidden fees.

Many clients find that professional representation actually saves money by reducing penalties, negotiating better payment terms, or identifying tax benefits they missed. The cost of resolution is often less than continued penalties and interest.

Question 2

What happens if I haven't filed taxes in several years?

Accepted Answer

The IRS typically requires you to file the last six years of returns to resolve your case, though this varies by situation. Each unfiled year creates additional penalties and interest, so addressing this quickly matters.

We prepare all necessary returns using available records, W-2s, 1099s, and bank statements. If you're missing documents, we know how to obtain transcripts and reconstruct your tax information from IRS records.

Once returns are filed, we negotiate payment arrangements or pursue other resolution options like offers in compromise. The key is getting compliant first, then addressing what you owe through the most appropriate solution for your financial situation.

Question 3

Can you stop IRS wage garnishments and bank levies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can often stop wage garnishments and bank levies, but timing matters. Once a levy is in place, we work quickly to negotiate a release by establishing a payment plan or proving financial hardship.

For wage garnishments, we typically need to set up an installment agreement or demonstrate that the garnishment creates undue hardship. The IRS will release garnishments when you enter into approved payment arrangements.

Bank levies are harder to reverse once executed, but we can prevent future levies by resolving your case. We also pursue levy releases when clients can prove the seizure creates significant financial hardship or prevents basic living expenses.

Question 4

How long does tax resolution take in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

Simple cases like payment plan setups often resolve within 30-60 days. More complex situations involving audits, offers in compromise, or multiple years of unfiled returns can take 6-12 months or longer.

The timeline depends on IRS processing times, the complexity of your case, and how quickly you provide requested documentation. Pennsylvania state tax issues may add time if both federal and state problems need resolution.

We keep you informed about progress and realistic timeframes throughout the process. While some cases take longer than others, having professional representation typically speeds resolution compared to handling it yourself.

Question 5

Do you handle both personal and business tax problems?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we handle both personal and business tax issues for Pennsylvania residents. Business cases often involve payroll tax problems, sales tax issues, and complex multi-year compliance problems.

Small business owners frequently face both personal and business tax problems that are interconnected. We address both sides to ensure complete resolution and prevent future issues from affecting your business operations.

Our experience includes sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLCs, and corporations. We understand how different business structures affect tax obligations and resolution strategies, particularly under Pennsylvania tax law.

Question 6

What's the difference between tax preparation and tax resolution?

Accepted Answer

Tax preparation involves filing current year returns and basic compliance. Tax resolution addresses serious problems like IRS audits, unpaid taxes, liens, levies, and years of unfiled returns.

Most tax preparers handle routine filings but refer complex problems elsewhere. All County Tax Resolution specializes in the difficult cases that require IRS negotiation, audit representation, and strategic problem-solving.

If you're current on your taxes and just need annual filing, a regular preparer works fine. If you have IRS notices, owe back taxes, or face collection actions, you need resolution services that most preparers don't offer.
