Question 1

How much does tax resolution help cost in Bossardsville PA?

Accepted Answer

Our consultation fees vary based on the complexity of your case, but we credit 100% of your consultation fee toward resolution work if you engage our services. This means you're not paying twice - the consultation becomes part of your overall investment in solving your tax problems.

Most clients find our fees reasonable compared to the penalties, interest, and stress they're dealing with. We're transparent about costs upfront, so you know exactly what you're paying for. Many clients save far more in penalties and interest than they pay in fees.

The real question isn't what professional help costs - it's what continuing to handle this alone is costing you in mounting penalties, interest, and lost sleep.

Question 2

Can you help with both IRS and Pennsylvania state tax problems?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we handle both federal and Pennsylvania state tax issues. Pennsylvania's 3.07% flat income tax rate, combined with local taxes, creates unique challenges that require someone familiar with state-specific regulations.

We work with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue just as effectively as we work with the IRS. Whether you're dealing with unpaid state taxes, local earned income tax issues, or problems with both state and federal authorities, we have the experience to navigate both systems.

State tax problems can be just as serious as federal ones, with similar collection powers. Having one team handle both saves you time and ensures your resolution strategy works across all jurisdictions.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Unfiled returns are one of the most common problems we see, and they're completely fixable. The IRS and state can't properly assess what you owe until returns are filed, which actually gives us leverage in negotiations.

We start by preparing and filing all delinquent returns, often reducing the amounts you owe compared to what the IRS estimated. Then we can negotiate payment plans or other resolutions based on your actual tax liability, not inflated penalty calculations.

The key is acting quickly. Every month you wait, penalties and interest continue to accrue. But once we get involved, we can often stop collection actions while we work on filing returns and negotiating a resolution that works for your situation.

Question 4

How long does the tax resolution process typically take?

Accepted Answer

Simple cases like setting up payment plans can often be resolved within 30-60 days. More complex situations involving offers in compromise or multiple tax years may take 6-12 months to fully resolve.

The timeline depends on several factors: how many years are involved, whether returns need to be filed, your financial situation, and how quickly the IRS responds to our submissions. We can often stop collection actions much faster than achieving final resolution.

What matters most is that you're protected throughout the process. Once we're representing you, the IRS has to work through us instead of contacting you directly. That relief starts immediately, even while we're working toward a final resolution.

Question 5

Do you offer payment plans for your tax resolution services?

Accepted Answer

We understand that if you're dealing with tax problems, cash flow is probably tight. That's why we work with clients on payment arrangements that fit their situations.

We're not interested in creating another financial burden while we're helping you resolve existing ones. Our goal is to make professional help accessible when you need it most, not add to your stress.

During your consultation, we'll discuss payment options that work for your budget. The investment in professional help typically pays for itself through reduced penalties, better payment terms, and faster resolution than trying to handle things yourself.

Question 6

What makes your firm different from other tax resolution companies?

Accepted Answer

We're based right here in Pennsylvania, so we understand the local tax environment and the specific challenges our neighbors face. We're not a national call center - we're a local firm that's been helping people in communities like Bossardsville for years.

We offer free initial consultations because we believe you should understand your options before making any commitments. Many firms charge for consultations and don't credit those fees if you hire them. We do the opposite.

Most importantly, we focus on long-term solutions, not quick fixes. Our goal isn't just to resolve your current problems, but to help you stay compliant going forward so you don't end up in the same situation again.
