Question 1

How much does professional tax resolution cost in Paradise, PA?

Accepted Answer

Tax resolution costs vary depending on your specific situation, but All County Tax Resolution offers competitive pricing and often helps clients resolve their tax debt for far less than they originally owed. We provide free initial consultations to assess your case and explain your options.

If you decide to work with us, we'll credit 100% of your consultation fee toward the resolution work. Many clients find that the money saved through negotiated settlements and penalty abatements far exceeds the cost of professional representation. One client who owed $45,000 ended up paying just $3,000 through an offer in compromise.

The real question isn't what professional help costs—it's what continuing to ignore your tax problems will cost you in additional penalties, interest, and potential collection actions like wage garnishment or bank levies.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Yes, All County Tax Resolution handles both federal IRS issues and Pennsylvania state tax problems simultaneously. This is crucial because many taxpayers face issues with both authorities at the same time, and trying to handle them separately often creates more complications.

We understand Pennsylvania's specific tax laws, filing requirements, and resolution options that are different from federal procedures. Whether you're dealing with PA personal income tax, business taxes, sales tax issues, or both federal and state problems, we can coordinate the entire resolution process.

Having one experienced firm handle all your tax problems is more efficient and often less expensive than working with separate representatives for federal and state issues. Plus, we ensure that resolving one issue doesn't accidentally create problems with the other authority.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Unfiled tax returns are one of the most serious and common problems we handle for Paradise, PA taxpayers. The IRS and Pennsylvania Department of Revenue can file substitute returns for you, but these typically show the maximum tax liability with no deductions or credits you're legally entitled to claim.

All County Tax Resolution will prepare and file your missing returns properly, often reducing your tax liability significantly compared to what the government calculated. We've filed over 20,000 tax returns and know how to maximize your deductions even for older tax years where you might not have all your records.

Once your returns are filed correctly, we can then work on resolving any remaining tax debt through payment plans, offers in compromise, penalty abatements, or other resolution options. The key is handling the unfiled returns first—everything else builds from there.

Question 4

How long does it typically take to resolve tax problems with the IRS?

Accepted Answer

Resolution timeframes vary significantly depending on your specific situation and which resolution option works best for your case. Simple installment payment plans can often be set up within 30-45 days once all paperwork is submitted properly.

More complex cases involving offers in compromise typically take 6-12 months, while penalty abatement requests usually take 2-4 months. Currently not collectible status can sometimes be achieved in 60-90 days if you qualify. The IRS has specific processing times for different resolution types.

Throughout the entire process, All County Tax Resolution keeps you informed with regular updates on your case status and handles all communication with tax authorities. You're never left wondering what's happening or whether progress is being made on your case.

Question 5

Do you offer remote tax preparation services for Paradise, PA clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we've enhanced our remote services to include Zoom consultations, secure document sharing, and electronic signature capabilities. This means you can get professional tax help without having to drive to our Lake Ariel office for every meeting, which is especially helpful during busy tax season.

We can handle most tax preparation and resolution work remotely, though some clients prefer in-person meetings for their initial consultation to build that personal relationship. The choice is entirely yours based on what makes you most comfortable and fits your schedule.

Our remote services are particularly valuable for busy Paradise area small business owners who can't easily get away during normal business hours, or for clients dealing with urgent IRS deadlines where time is critical.

Question 6

What's the difference between regular tax preparers and tax resolution specialists?

Accepted Answer

Most tax preparers focus exclusively on filing current year returns and don't handle IRS problems, back taxes, or collection issues. When you have serious tax problems, regular preparers often refer you elsewhere because they don't have the experience or expertise to deal with the IRS.

Tax resolution specialists specifically focus on existing tax debt, unfiled returns, IRS audits, liens, levies, wage garnishments, and other collection issues. We know IRS procedures, resolution options, and how to negotiate effectively on your behalf.

All County Tax Resolution does both—we can prepare your current returns and resolve your past tax problems simultaneously. This comprehensive approach means you're not juggling multiple professionals, and it ensures your current and past tax issues are handled consistently with a complete understanding of your overall tax situation.
