Question 1

How much will it cost to resolve my tax problems?

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Unfiled tax returns are one of the most common problems we handle, and it's more fixable than you think. The IRS typically requires the last six years of unfiled returns to bring you into compliance.We start by gathering all your tax documents and preparing the missing returns. Often, you'll discover you don't owe as much as you feared, and sometimes you're even entitled to refunds for some years.Once the returns are filed, we work with the IRS to establish a payment plan or explore other resolution options. The key is getting those returns filed quickly because penalties and interest keep accumulating until you do.

Question 3

Can you stop the IRS from taking money from my paycheck?

Accepted Answer

Yes, wage garnishments can often be stopped or reduced, but timing matters. The sooner you act, the more options you have available.We immediately contact the IRS to establish representation and work to release the levy. This might involve setting up a payment plan, proving financial hardship, or negotiating a different resolution that works better for your situation.In Pennsylvania, the IRS can take a significant portion of your paycheck, but they have to leave you with enough to cover basic living expenses. We know these guidelines and use them to negotiate the best possible outcome for your specific circumstances.

Do you handle Pennsylvania state tax problems too?

Absolutely. State tax problems can be just as serious as federal issues, and Pennsylvania has its own set of complications that many tax professionals don't fully understand.Pennsylvania charges 9% annual interest on unpaid taxes starting February 1st each year, and the state can be aggressive about collecting.

Question 5

How long does it take to resolve tax problems?

Accepted Answer

The timeline depends on your specific situation and which resolution option works best for your case. Simple payment plan agreements can often be set up within a few weeks.More complex cases involving offers in compromise, penalty abatements, or multiple years of unfiled returns typically take several months to complete.

Question 6

What if my tax debt is too small to matter?

Even small tax debts can grow quickly with penalties and interest, and they can still result in liens, levies, or other collection actions that affect your credit and financial life.The IRS doesn't distinguish between large and small debts when it comes to collection activities. A few thousand dollars in unpaid taxes can still result in wage garnishment or bank levies that cause major disruption.We handle cases of all sizes because we understand that every tax problem is significant to the person dealing with it.
