Question 1

How much does tax resolution cost in Nay Aug?

Accepted Answer

We start every case with a free consultation, so there's no cost to find out what your options are. Our fees depend on the complexity of your situation and what services you actually need.

Simple cases like setting up payment plans typically cost less than complex negotiations for offers in compromise or penalty abatements. We're upfront about all costs before you commit to anything.

Most clients find that our fees are far less than what they'd pay in additional penalties, interest, and collection actions if they tried to handle things themselves. We also offer payment plans for our services because we understand you're already dealing with financial stress.

Question 2

Can you stop IRS wage garnishment in Wayne County?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can often get wage garnishments released quickly once we establish communication with the IRS and propose a resolution plan. The key is acting fast - the longer a garnishment continues, the more it hurts your financial situation.

We immediately contact the IRS to request a levy release while we work on a permanent solution. In many cases, we can get garnishments stopped within days of being hired.

The IRS will release a garnishment if we can show that continuing it would cause economic hardship or if we establish a payment agreement that satisfies their collection requirements. We handle all the paperwork and negotiations so the garnishment stops as quickly as possible.

Question 3

What happens if I have unfiled tax returns?

Accepted Answer

Unfiled returns are actually one of the easier tax problems to solve, but they need to be addressed immediately. The IRS can file substitute returns for you, and their version never includes deductions you're entitled to.

We prepare and file all your missing returns using every deduction and credit you qualify for. This often reduces what you owe significantly compared to what the IRS thinks you owe.

Once your filings are current, we can negotiate payment arrangements or other resolution options. The IRS won't discuss most resolution programs until you're compliant with filing requirements, so getting these returns done is always the first step.

Question 4

How long does tax resolution take in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

Simple cases like installment agreements can often be resolved in 30-60 days. More complex situations involving offers in compromise or penalty abatements typically take 3-6 months.

The timeline depends on how quickly we can gather your financial information, prepare any missing returns, and how backed up the IRS is with their processing. Pennsylvania cases don't take longer than other states - it's really about the complexity of your specific situation.

We keep you updated throughout the process so you always know where things stand. Most clients see immediate relief once we take over communication with the IRS, even while the formal resolution is still being processed.

Question 5

Do you help with Pennsylvania state tax problems too?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Pennsylvania has its own collection procedures and resolution options that are different from federal tax problems. We handle both state and federal issues because most clients have problems with both.

Pennsylvania files liens through county Prothonotary offices and has its own payment plan and penalty abatement programs. We're familiar with how the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue operates and what options work best for different situations.

Many of our Wayne County clients also have local tax issues with school districts or municipalities. While we focus on income tax problems, we can provide guidance on property tax issues and refer you to appropriate local resources when needed.

Question 6

What's the difference between tax preparation and tax resolution?

Accepted Answer

Tax preparation is filing your current year returns. Tax resolution is solving problems with the IRS from previous years - things like unpaid taxes, liens, levies, audits, and unfiled returns.

Most tax preparers can't help with IRS collection problems because they don't have experience negotiating with revenue officers and collection agents. Tax resolution requires specialized knowledge of IRS procedures and collection alternatives.

We handle both services, but our focus is on resolution work. If you just need current returns prepared and don't have any IRS problems, there are plenty of seasonal preparers who can help. But if you're dealing with collection actions or past-due taxes, you need someone who specializes in solving those problems.
