Question 1

How much does tax resolution cost in Wayne County, PA?

Accepted Answer

Our fees depend on the complexity of your case and the amount of work required. We provide a detailed quote after reviewing your situation during the initial consultation.

If you decide to hire us, we credit 100% of your consultation fee toward the resolution work. This means the consultation essentially becomes free when you move forward with our services. Most clients find our fees are far less than the penalties and interest they'd pay by trying to handle things themselves or hiring someone inexperienced with tax resolution.

We're transparent about costs upfront - no surprises or hidden fees down the road.

Question 2

Can you help with Pennsylvania state tax problems too?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. State problems can also be resolved through our services. Pennsylvania has its own set of tax requirements that often confuse taxpayers, especially business owners dealing with corporate income tax, sales tax, or withholding issues.

We handle Pennsylvania Department of Revenue matters just like federal IRS cases - representing you in all communications, negotiating payment plans, and working to resolve penalties. Many of our Wayne County clients have both federal and state issues, and we coordinate the resolution of both simultaneously.

State tax authorities can be just as aggressive as the IRS when it comes to collection, so having professional representation is just as important.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Unfiled returns are one of the most common problems we handle, and they're often not as scary as people think. The IRS typically requires the last six years of unfiled returns to get you back into compliance, though this can vary based on your specific situation.

We help you gather the necessary documents, prepare the missing returns, and file them properly. Often, people who haven't filed in years actually owe less than they fear, or sometimes even have refunds coming. The key is getting accurate returns filed before the IRS files substitute returns for you, which are almost always wrong and show higher taxes owed.

Once we get your returns filed, we can then work on resolving any balance owed through payment plans or other resolution options.

Question 4

How long does the tax resolution process take?

Accepted Answer

Most cases resolve within 3-6 months, but complex situations can take longer. The timeline depends on several factors: how quickly we can gather your documents, the type of resolution we're pursuing, and how backlogged the IRS is at the time.

Simple payment plan requests might resolve in 30-60 days, while offers in compromise or currently not collectible status can take 6-12 months. We keep you updated throughout the process and let you know what to expect based on your specific situation.

The important thing is that once we take your case, the pressure is off you immediately. We handle all IRS communication and work steadily toward resolution while you get back to your normal life.

Question 5

Do you only help people who owe large amounts?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. We tell clients who worry their case may be too small: "Don't! Just pick up the phone and call today." We've helped people with tax debts ranging from a few hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands.

Sometimes smaller cases are actually easier to resolve quickly, and the stress relief our clients get is worth it regardless of the amount owed. Whether you owe $500 or $50,000, the IRS collection process is the same, and having professional representation makes a huge difference in the outcome.

Every case gets the same level of professional attention because we understand that any amount of tax debt can feel overwhelming when you're dealing with it alone.

Question 6

What makes you different from other tax resolution companies?

Accepted Answer

We're local to Wayne County with a physical office in Lake Ariel, not some national company with call centers. You can actually meet with us in person, and we understand the specific challenges facing Pennsylvania taxpayers and small businesses.

We're also a Gold Level QuickBooks ProAdvisor, which means we can help with the bookkeeping and accounting issues that often create tax problems in the first place. Many tax resolution companies just fix the immediate problem - we help prevent future issues too.

Most importantly, we focus on getting results, not just taking your money. We're recognized for excellent customer satisfaction because we actually solve problems rather than just promising to help.
