Question 1

How much does tax preparation cost in Mayfield, PA?

Accepted Answer

Our fees depend on your situation's complexity, but we're completely transparent about pricing upfront. Simple individual returns start at competitive rates. Business returns and complex situations involving multiple years or IRS problems require custom pricing based on actual work needed.

We provide clear fee estimates during your free consultation. No hidden charges or surprise bills later. Many clients find our fees reasonable compared to the stress and potential penalties they avoid by getting professional help.

For tax resolution services, we often save clients far more in reduced penalties and negotiated settlements than our fees cost. The key is getting help before your situation becomes more expensive to resolve.

Question 2

Can you help with IRS liens and levies in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we specialize in lien and levy resolution throughout Pennsylvania. We've successfully helped hundreds of clients get liens withdrawn, subordinated, or discharged. We know exactly how to stop levies before they devastate your finances.

Speed matters with liens and levies. Once the IRS starts these collection actions, you have limited time to respond effectively. We can often negotiate levy releases within days and work on long-term solutions to prevent future problems.

For liens, we explore every option - withdrawal, subordination, discharge - depending on your circumstances. Pennsylvania property owners have specific rights and options many preparers don't understand. We use these to your advantage regularly.

Question 3

Do you prepare taxes for small businesses in Mayfield?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We handle tax preparation for all business entities - sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLCs, S-Corps, C-Corps. Mayfield's diverse business community requires preparers who understand federal requirements and Pennsylvania's specific business obligations.

We prepare quarterly estimates, annual returns, and handle business tax problems that arise. Many business clients need payroll tax help, sales tax compliance, and multi-state filing support as they grow.

Our business services go beyond preparation. We provide year-round support, tax planning strategies, and immediate help if you receive IRS or state notices. Business tax problems can threaten your entire operation, so we treat every case with appropriate urgency.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Non-filing situations are common, and we handle them regularly. The IRS has specific procedures for getting multiple years caught up. We know exactly how to minimize penalties and interest while getting you back in compliance.

We start by determining which years require filing and gathering necessary documents. Clients are often surprised to learn they may be entitled to refunds for some years, which can offset what they owe for others.

The key is filing all required returns before the IRS files substitute returns for you. Substitute returns never include deductions you're entitled to, so you end up owing much more than necessary. We can often negotiate penalty abatement for first-time non-filers or those with reasonable cause.

Question 5

How long does tax resolution take in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

Timeline depends on your specific situation and which resolution method works best. Simple installment agreements often get approved within 30-60 days. More complex cases like Offers in Compromise may take 6-12 months.

The good news: once we submit your case, collection actions typically stop immediately. No new levies, wage garnishments usually pause, and you get breathing room while we negotiate your resolution.

Pennsylvania cases sometimes move faster than other states because we have established relationships with local IRS offices and understand their procedures. We keep you updated throughout and explain exactly what's happening so you're never left wondering.

Question 6

Can you help if I'm already being audited by the IRS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide complete audit representation and can take over your case immediately. IRS audits have strict deadlines and specific procedures that must be followed exactly. Professional representation is crucial for protecting your rights.

We handle all IRS examiner communication, prepare and organize documentation, and represent you at meetings or hearings. Most clients are relieved to learn they don't have to face the IRS alone or navigate complex audit procedures themselves.

Our representation often results in better outcomes than clients achieve alone. We know which documentation the IRS actually needs, how to present your case effectively, and when to negotiate versus stand firm. Many audits result in no change or even refunds when handled properly.
