Question 1

How quickly can you stop IRS collection actions like wage garnishments?

Accepted Answer

We can often halt collection actions within 24-48 hours by establishing communication with the IRS and demonstrating that you're working toward resolution. The key is acting fast and having proper representation.

Once we contact the IRS on your behalf and begin negotiating a solution, they typically suspend aggressive collection activities. However, this requires immediate action - the longer you wait, the fewer options remain available.

We've successfully stopped wage garnishments, bank levies, and even property seizures by moving quickly and knowing exactly which procedures to follow with both federal and Pennsylvania tax authorities.

Question 2

What happens if I have years of unfiled tax returns?

Accepted Answer

Unfiled returns create mounting penalties and give the IRS broad authority to estimate what you owe - usually much higher than reality. We prioritize getting these filed correctly to stop the bleeding.

We can prepare multiple years of returns simultaneously, often reducing the total amount owed significantly compared to IRS estimates. The process typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on how many years and the complexity of your situation.

Pennsylvania has its own filing requirements that run parallel to federal obligations. Missing state returns can trigger separate collection actions, so we handle both simultaneously to avoid creating new problems while solving old ones.

Question 3

Can you remove tax liens that are already filed in Wayne County?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but the approach depends on your specific situation. Liens can be removed through full payment, negotiated settlements, or in some cases, withdrawal if certain conditions are met.

Once a lien is satisfied, we ensure proper release documents are filed with the Wayne County Prothonotary's Office and provide you with copies for your records. This clears your credit report and removes the public record.

For business owners, removing liens is often critical for maintaining vendor relationships and accessing credit. We understand the urgency and work efficiently to clear these public records as quickly as possible.

Question 4

Do you handle both personal and business tax problems?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We work with individuals facing personal tax debt and small businesses dealing with payroll tax issues, sales tax problems, and corporate income tax disputes.

Business tax problems often involve multiple tax types - federal income tax, Pennsylvania corporate taxes, sales tax, and employment taxes. Each has different resolution procedures and deadlines, which is why specialized knowledge matters.

We also help business owners who have personal guarantees on business tax debt, which is common with payroll tax issues. This requires coordinating resolution strategies for both personal and business liabilities simultaneously.

Question 5

How much does tax resolution help typically cost?

Accepted Answer

Our fees depend on the complexity of your case, but we provide transparent pricing upfront during your free consultation. Most clients find our fees are a fraction of what they save in penalties and interest.

We offer payment plans for our services because we understand you're already dealing with financial stress. The goal is to make professional help accessible, not add to your burden.

Many clients actually save money by working with us, even after paying our fees. We often reduce penalties, negotiate lower payment amounts, or identify credits and deductions that weren't properly claimed in previous years.

Question 6

What makes your approach different from other tax resolution companies?

Accepted Answer

We're local professionals who understand Pennsylvania's specific tax requirements and Wayne County procedures. You're not dealing with a call center in another state - you work directly with experienced tax professionals.

We focus on realistic solutions rather than making promises we can't keep. Every case is different, and we tailor our approach based on your actual financial situation and goals.

Most importantly, we handle the entire process from start to finish. You don't get passed between different departments or have to explain your situation repeatedly. One team manages your case and keeps you informed throughout the resolution process.
