Question 1

How much does tax resolution cost in Lakeview, PA?

Accepted Answer

Tax resolution costs vary depending on your specific situation, but we're transparent about our fees from the start. During your free consultation, we'll review your case and provide a clear estimate based on the complexity of your tax problems. Unlike some firms that charge thousands upfront, we structure our fees to be affordable and often offer payment plans. If you've been quoted excessive fees elsewhere, call us for a second opinion. Many tax problems can be resolved for far less than you might expect. The cost of resolution is almost always less than what you'll pay in continued penalties, interest, and stress if you don't address the problem. We'll show you exactly what resolution will cost versus what you'll owe if you do nothing.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Yes, we handle both federal and state tax issues for Wayne County residents. Pennsylvania has its own set of tax complexities, and we're familiar with how state and federal problems often compound each other. Whether you're dealing with Pennsylvania personal income tax, business taxes, or local earned income tax issues, we know how to navigate the state system. We also understand how Pennsylvania's Tax Forgiveness Program works and can help determine if you qualify for reduced rates. Many of our Lakeview clients have problems with both the IRS and Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. We coordinate resolution efforts to make sure you're not paying more than necessary and that both issues get resolved efficiently.

Question 3

What happens if the IRS is already garnishing my wages?

Accepted Answer

Wage garnishment is serious, but it's not permanent. We can often get wage garnishments released quickly by negotiating directly with the IRS and setting up a proper payment arrangement. The key is acting fast. Every paycheck that gets garnished is money you need for living expenses. We immediately contact the IRS to establish representation and work to get the garnishment stopped while we negotiate a long-term solution. In many cases, we can get you into an installment agreement that costs less per month than what the IRS was taking from your paycheck. We've helped numerous Wayne County residents get their full paychecks back while still resolving their tax debt responsibly.

Question 4

How long does it take to resolve tax problems?

Accepted Answer

Most tax resolution cases take between 60 to 180 days, depending on the complexity and which resolution option works best for your situation. Simple installment agreements can be set up much faster, while offers in compromise take longer because they require detailed financial analysis. We keep you updated throughout the process so you always know where things stand. The IRS has specific timeframes they must follow, and we make sure they stick to them. We also know how to expedite cases when you're facing immediate collection action. The important thing is starting the process. Every day you wait, penalties and interest continue to accrue. Once we establish representation, we can often get collection activities stopped while we work on your permanent resolution.

Question 5

Do you only work with people who owe large amounts?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. We help Wayne County residents with tax problems of all sizes. Whether you owe $5,000 or $50,000, tax problems create the same stress and worry. You deserve professional help regardless of the amount. Some firms won't take smaller cases because they're focused on high-dollar clients. We believe everyone deserves quality tax resolution services. Often, smaller tax debts can be resolved quickly and affordably, giving you immediate peace of mind. Even if you think your case might be "too small," call us anyway. You'd be surprised how often we can resolve tax problems for less than people expect, and the relief you'll feel is worth every penny.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

Unfiled returns are actually very common, and we handle these cases regularly. The IRS gets more aggressive about collection when returns aren't filed, so it's important to get caught up as soon as possible. We'll help you gather the necessary documents and file all delinquent returns. Often, you're entitled to refunds for some years that can offset what you owe for other years. We make sure you get credit for all withholdings and payments you've made. Once all returns are filed, we can address any remaining balance through installment agreements, offers in compromise, or other resolution options. The key is getting compliant first, then dealing with any tax debt that remains. We handle the entire process so you don't have to figure it out alone.
