Question 1

How much does tax resolution cost in Rushville PA?

Accepted Answer

We start with a free consultation to assess your situation, which many firms charge $1,500 for. After that, our fees depend on the complexity of your case and which services you need.

Simple payment plan setups cost less than complex offer in compromise applications. We're transparent about pricing upfront—no surprises or hidden fees. We also work with payment plans because we understand you're already dealing with financial stress.

Most clients find our fees are a fraction of what they'd pay in continued penalties, interest, and lost wages from garnishments. We focus on getting you the best possible outcome, not maximizing our fees.

Question 2

Can you stop IRS wage garnishments immediately?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. We can often get wage garnishments released quickly, especially if you're facing financial hardship or if the garnishment wasn't properly issued.

The key is acting fast. Once we're representing you, we contact the IRS immediately to request a release or reduction. If you qualify for currently not collectible status or if we can negotiate a payment plan, the garnishment typically stops.

We've helped many Rushville residents get their full paychecks back within days of hiring us. Every situation is different, but we know exactly which forms to file and which arguments work with IRS collection agents.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

This is more common than you think, and it's fixable. The IRS typically requires the last six years of unfiled returns, though they may ask for more in some cases.

We help you gather the necessary documents—W-2s, 1099s, business records—and prepare accurate returns. If you're missing paperwork, we can get wage and income transcripts directly from the IRS.

The important thing is filing correctly the first time. Amended returns create more problems and delays. We make sure everything is accurate and complete before submission, which prevent future headaches and gets you back in compliance faster.

Question 4

Do you help with Pennsylvania state tax problems too?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many of our Rushville clients have both federal and state tax issues, and we handle both. Pennsylvania has its own collection procedures and settlement options that are different from the IRS.

We work with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue on payment plans, offer in compromise applications, and penalty abatements. We also help with Pennsylvania-specific issues like local income taxes that some municipalities impose.

Having one firm handle both federal and state issues is more efficient and often less expensive than hiring separate representatives. We coordinate the resolution strategies to make sure they work together effectively.

Question 5

How long does tax resolution take in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what needs to be resolved, but most cases take 3-6 months from start to finish. Simple payment plans can be set up in weeks, while offer in compromise applications typically take 6-12 months.

The IRS has specific timeframes they must follow, and we know how to work within their system efficiently. We also know when to push for faster resolution and when patience gets better results.

We keep you updated throughout the process so you always know where things stand. No waiting months without hearing from us—communication is part of the service you're paying for.

Question 6

What happens if the IRS rejects my offer in compromise?

Accepted Answer

Rejection doesn't mean the end of your options. We can appeal the decision, submit a new offer with different terms, or pursue alternative solutions like a payment plan or currently not collectible status.

Often, rejections happen because of incomplete documentation or calculation errors, not because you don't qualify. We review the rejection letter carefully and address the specific issues the IRS raised.

We've successfully gotten offers approved on appeal that were initially rejected. The key is understanding why it was rejected and fixing those problems before resubmitting. That's where experience with the IRS process really matters.
