Question 1

How much does tax preparation cost in Shehawken, PA?

Accepted Answer

Tax preparation fees vary based on the complexity of your return and your specific situation. Simple personal returns start at one price point, while small business returns with multiple schedules cost more due to the additional time and expertise required.

We're transparent about our pricing from the start. During your consultation, we'll review your tax situation and provide a clear fee structure with no hidden costs. If you need tax problem resolution services, we offer payment plans to make our services affordable.

The investment in professional tax preparation often pays for itself through deductions you might miss and mistakes you avoid. When you consider the cost of IRS penalties and interest, professional preparation is usually the more economical choice.

Question 2

What tax problems can you resolve for Shehawken residents?

Accepted Answer

We handle the full range of IRS and Pennsylvania tax problems. This includes unfiled tax returns, payment plans for back taxes, offers in compromise, penalty abatements, and audit representation. We also deal with liens, levies, wage garnishments, and asset seizures.

For small businesses, we resolve payroll tax problems, sales tax compliance issues, and corporate income tax disputes. We work with both current year problems and issues going back multiple years. Each situation is different, but we've seen most problems before and know the best approach for resolution.

State tax problems are also within our expertise. Pennsylvania has its own collection procedures and resolution options, and we know how to navigate both state and federal systems simultaneously when needed.

Question 3

How long does tax resolution take in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

The timeline depends on your specific situation and which resolution option works best for your case. Simple payment plans can often be arranged within 30-60 days. More complex solutions like offers in compromise typically take 6-12 months to complete.

The key is starting the process quickly. The longer you wait, the more interest and penalties accumulate, making resolution more expensive and complicated. We can often get collection actions stopped within days of beginning representation, giving you immediate relief while we work on the long-term solution.

We keep you informed throughout the process with regular updates on your case status. You'll know what's happening, what we're waiting for, and what the next steps will be. No guessing, no wondering if progress is being made.

Question 4

Do I need to visit your office for tax services?

Accepted Answer

While we're happy to meet in person when needed, most of our services can be handled remotely. We use secure document sharing, video conferencing, and encrypted communication to serve clients throughout Pennsylvania and beyond.

This approach actually works better for many clients. You can participate in meetings from your home or office without taking time away from work or family. We can review documents on screen together and handle most consultations via phone or video call.

For complex cases or when you prefer face-to-face meetings, we can arrange in-person consultations. The important thing is getting you the help you need in whatever format works best for your situation.

Question 5

What should I bring to my tax consultation?

Accepted Answer

Bring any IRS or state notices you've received, copies of your tax returns for the past few years, and documentation of your current financial situation. This includes bank statements, pay stubs, and information about assets and debts.

If you're a business owner, include profit and loss statements, payroll records, and any correspondence with tax agencies. Don't worry if your records aren't perfectly organized – we can help sort through everything and identify what's most important for your case.

The more complete picture we have of your situation, the better we can advise you on your options. Even if some documents are missing, we can often work with what you have and help you obtain anything else that's needed.

Question 6

Can you help with both federal and Pennsylvania state taxes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we handle both federal IRS problems and Pennsylvania state tax issues. Many tax problems involve both jurisdictions, and we're experienced in coordinating resolution efforts between federal and state agencies.

Pennsylvania has its own tax collection procedures, payment plan options, and resolution programs. We understand how these interact with federal options and can often structure solutions that address both simultaneously. This saves you time and ensures consistent treatment of your tax problems.

Whether you're dealing with income taxes, sales taxes, payroll taxes, or other obligations, we can represent you with both the IRS and Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. One firm, complete representation, coordinated strategy.
