Question 1

How much does tax resolution cost in Richmondale?

Accepted Answer

Our fees depend on the complexity of your case and the services you need. We offer free initial consultations where we assess your situation and provide transparent pricing before you commit to anything.

Simple cases like setting up payment plans typically cost less than complex negotiations involving offers in compromise or multiple tax years. We don't charge hourly fees that can spiral out of control. Instead, we provide flat-fee pricing so you know exactly what you'll pay upfront.

Most clients find our fees are a fraction of what they owe in penalties and interest, making professional help a smart investment. 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 immediately?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. Once we establish representation and contact the IRS on your behalf, we can often get wage garnishments released quickly, sometimes within days.

The key is acting fast. The longer you wait, the more complicated the situation becomes. We immediately file the necessary paperwork to stop collection activities while we negotiate a permanent solution to your tax debt.

However, stopping the garnishment is just the first step. We then work on resolving the underlying tax debt so the problem doesn't come back. This might involve setting up a payment plan, negotiating penalty abatements, or pursuing other resolution options based on your financial situation.

Question 3

What if I haven't filed taxes in several years?

Accepted Answer

This is more common than you think, and it's fixable. We help clients who haven't filed returns for multiple years get caught up and back in compliance with the IRS.

First, we gather all necessary tax documents and prepare the missing returns. We often find that clients owe less than they feared, especially after claiming legitimate deductions and credits they missed. Sometimes people actually have refunds coming from those unfiled years.

Once the returns are filed, we address any tax debt through payment plans or other resolution options. The IRS is generally willing to work with taxpayers who take steps to get back into compliance, and having professional representation makes the process much smoother.

Question 4

How long does tax resolution typically take?

Accepted Answer

Simple cases like setting up payment plans can often be resolved within 30-60 days. More complex situations involving offers in compromise or multiple tax years may take 6-12 months or longer.

The timeline depends on several factors: how quickly we can gather necessary financial documents, the IRS's current processing times, and the complexity of your specific situation. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process.

What's important is that we can often stop collection activities quickly while working on the permanent resolution. This gives you immediate relief from wage garnishments, bank levies, and other collection actions while we negotiate the best long-term solution.

Question 5

Do you work with small businesses in Wayne County?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We work with many Wayne County small businesses dealing with payroll tax issues, unfiled business returns, and other tax problems that can threaten their operations.

Small business tax problems often involve payroll taxes, which the IRS takes very seriously. We understand the cash flow challenges that lead to these issues and work with business owners to resolve past problems while setting up systems to prevent future ones.

We've helped local contractors, retail businesses, restaurants, and service providers resolve significant tax debts and get back to focusing on their customers instead of worrying about the IRS. Many of our business clients continue working with us for ongoing compliance support.

Question 6

What should I bring to my free consultation?

Accepted Answer

Bring any IRS notices or letters you've received, copies of tax returns from recent years (if you have them), and basic financial information like recent pay stubs or bank statements.

Don't worry if you don't have everything organized perfectly. We've worked with clients who brought shoeboxes full of paperwork and others who had nothing but a threatening letter from the IRS. We help you figure out what's missing and how to get it.

The most important thing is to schedule the consultation as soon as possible. Tax problems don't get better on their own, and early intervention gives us more options to help you. We'll guide you through gathering any additional documents we need after our initial meeting.
