Question 1

How much does tax resolution help cost in Stormville?

Accepted Answer

The cost depends entirely on your specific situation and how complex your tax problems are. Simple cases like setting up a payment plan cost less than complex cases involving multiple years of unfiled returns or business tax issues.

We provide a free initial consultation where we review everything and give you an honest assessment of what it will take to resolve your problems. You'll know the cost upfront before we start any work.

Most clients find that our fees are much less than the penalties and interest they'd pay by trying to handle things themselves or letting problems continue to grow.

Question 2

Can you stop IRS wage garnishments and bank levies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can often get wage garnishments and bank levies released, especially if we can demonstrate financial hardship or negotiate a payment arrangement. The key is acting quickly once you receive notice.

The IRS has to follow specific procedures before they can garnish wages or levy bank accounts. If they didn't follow proper procedures, we can challenge the action. If they did follow procedures, we can still negotiate for release based on your current financial situation.

Every case is different, but we've successfully stopped garnishments and levies for many clients by working directly with IRS representatives and presenting a clear case for why the enforcement action should be lifted.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

The longer you wait, the more complicated and expensive the problem becomes. The IRS can file substitute returns for you, which almost always results in higher taxes owed because they don't include deductions you're entitled to claim.

We start by preparing all missing returns using the most favorable tax positions available to you. This often reduces the total amount owed significantly compared to what the IRS calculated on their substitute returns.

Once all returns are filed, we can then negotiate payment arrangements or pursue other resolution options like offers in compromise. The important thing is getting compliant first, then dealing with any remaining tax debt through proper channels.

Question 4

How long does the tax resolution process typically take?

Accepted Answer

Simple cases like setting up payment plans can be resolved in a few weeks. More complex situations involving multiple years of unfiled returns or detailed financial analysis can take several months.

The timeline depends largely on how quickly we can gather necessary documentation and how responsive the IRS is to our correspondence. We expedite everything on our end, but tax authorities work on their own schedule.

Throughout the process, we keep you updated on progress and let you know if there are any delays or additional information needed. Our goal is to resolve everything as quickly as possible while making sure we get the best outcome for your situation.

Question 5

Do you handle both personal and business tax problems?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we handle tax resolution for individuals, small businesses, and corporations. Business tax problems often involve payroll tax issues, which the IRS treats very seriously because they consider it "trust fund" money that belongs to employees.

For Stormville area businesses, we understand the challenges of seasonal income fluctuations and how they affect tax compliance. We've worked with restaurants, construction companies, retail businesses, and service providers throughout the Pocono region.

Whether you're dealing with personal income tax issues or business tax problems, we have the experience to navigate the resolution process and negotiate the best possible outcome for your specific situation.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

Tax preparation is filing your annual tax returns. Tax resolution is solving problems that arise when you owe money to tax authorities, haven't filed required returns, or are facing enforcement actions like liens or levies.

Many tax preparers can file your current year returns, but they don't have experience dealing with IRS collections, negotiating payment plans, or handling audit situations. Tax resolution requires specialized knowledge of IRS procedures and collection alternatives.

We handle both services, so we can prepare any missing returns as part of resolving your tax problems, then help you stay compliant going forward. This comprehensive approach ensures that once we solve your current problems, you don't develop new ones.
