Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Tax preparation is filing your current year returns correctly and on time. Tax resolution is fixing problems that already exist—like unpaid taxes, IRS audits, or missing returns from previous years.Most tax preparers only handle the filing part. We do both, but our specialty is helping people who are already in trouble with the IRS. We negotiate payment plans, reduce penalties, and represent you in all communications with tax authorities.If you just need your current taxes filed, we can do that. But if you're getting IRS notices, owe back taxes, or haven't filed in years, that's where our expertise really makes the difference.

Question 2

How much does professional tax preparation cost in Roemersville, PA?

Accepted Answer

Our fees depend on the complexity of your situation, not arbitrary pricing schemes. Simple personal returns cost less than business returns with multiple schedules and complications.For tax resolution work, we evaluate each case individually during your free consultation. We'll give you a clear estimate upfront so you can make an informed decision. No hidden fees or surprise charges.Many clients find that our fees pay for themselves through the penalties we help them avoid, the payment plans we negotiate, or the deductions we find that other preparers miss. The cost of not getting professional help is usually much higher than the cost of hiring us.

Question 3

Can you help with Pennsylvania state tax problems too?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we handle both federal and Pennsylvania state tax issues. Pennsylvania has its own Department of Revenue with different procedures, deadlines, and requirements from the IRS.State tax problems can be just as serious as federal ones. Pennsylvania can garnish wages, seize bank accounts, and place liens on property. They also have their own audit process and penalty structures.We know how to work with both agencies simultaneously when you have problems at multiple levels. Often, resolving federal issues helps with state issues, but each requires specific expertise and strategies.

Question 4

What should I bring to my free consultation?

Accepted Answer

Bring any IRS or state notices you've received, copies of recent tax returns (if you have them), and any documentation related to your tax situation. Don't worry if your records are incomplete—we'll help you figure out what's missing.If you're behind on filing returns, bring whatever income documentation you have—W-2s, 1099s, business records, bank statements. We can work with incomplete information and help you reconstruct what's needed.The most important thing is to be honest about your situation. We've seen it all, and we can't help you effectively if we don't understand the full scope of your problems. Everything you tell us is confidential.

Question 5

How long does it take to resolve tax problems?

Accepted Answer

Simple issues like setting up payment plans can often be resolved in a few weeks. More complex situations involving audits, appeals, or multiple years of unfiled returns can take several months.The IRS and Pennsylvania Department of Revenue work on their own timelines, which we can't control. But we can make sure your case moves as quickly as possible by submitting complete, accurate documentation and following up appropriately.We'll give you realistic timeframes during your consultation based on your specific situation. We'll also keep you updated throughout the process so you know what's happening and what to expect next.

Question 6

Do you guarantee results for tax resolution cases?

Accepted Answer

However, we can guarantee that we'll use all our experience and knowledge to get you the best possible result.What we do guarantee is professional service, clear communication, and aggressive advocacy for your interests. We'll explore every available option and won't give up until we've exhausted all possibilities.Most of our clients achieve better outcomes than they could have gotten on their own.
