Question 1

How much does tax preparation cost in Tunkhannock?

Accepted Answer

Our fees depend on the complexity of your return, not some arbitrary pricing structure. Simple personal returns start at reasonable rates, while business returns and complex situations are priced based on the actual work involved.

We provide upfront pricing after reviewing your situation, so there are no surprises. Many clients find our fees are competitive with the big chains, but you get personalized service and year-round support.

For tax resolution services, we offer free consultations to assess your situation. If you decide to work with us, we credit 100% of the consultation fee toward your resolution work.

Question 2

What tax preparation services do you offer for small businesses?

Accepted Answer

We handle all types of business returns including sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLCs, S-corps, and C-corporations. We also manage quarterly estimated payments, payroll tax returns, and sales tax filings for Pennsylvania businesses.

Our services extend beyond just filing returns. We help with tax planning to minimize your liability, bookkeeping to keep your records organized, and business consulting for major decisions that affect your taxes.

We understand Pennsylvania's specific business tax requirements including the corporate income tax changes that took effect in 2023. We stay current on state and local tax obligations so you don't have to worry about compliance issues.

Question 3

Can you help with IRS problems and back taxes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, tax resolution is one of our specialties. We help clients resolve liens, levies, wage garnishments, and audit issues. We also assist with unfiled returns, payment plans, and offers in compromise when appropriate.

Our approach starts with a thorough analysis of your situation. We determine what you actually owe, what options are available, and create a realistic plan to resolve the issues. We handle all communication with the IRS on your behalf.

We've successfully negotiated payment arrangements, penalty abatements, and hardship status for clients. The key is acting quickly before the situation gets worse. The IRS has more collection tools available now than ever before, so early intervention is crucial.

Question 4

Do you provide year-round tax support or just seasonal?

Accepted Answer

We're available year-round, not just during tax season. Tax questions and issues don't follow the calendar, and neither do we. You can call us in July with a question about your April return or in October when you receive an IRS notice.

This ongoing relationship is valuable for tax planning. We review your situation throughout the year and suggest strategies to minimize next year's tax liability. We also help you stay organized so next tax season is less stressful.

For business clients, we provide quarterly check-ins to review estimated payments, discuss major purchases or changes, and ensure you're staying compliant with all tax obligations. This proactive approach helps prevent problems before they start.

Question 5

What makes you different from H&R Block or other chains?

Accepted Answer

The biggest difference is continuity and expertise. You work with the same experienced professionals who get to know your situation over time. We're not training new seasonal employees every year or rushing through returns to meet quotas.

We also handle complex situations that chain stores often can't manage. If you have rental properties, business income, or IRS problems, we have the expertise to handle these properly. We're not limited to basic software programs or corporate policies.

Our local presence means we understand Pennsylvania tax issues and can meet with you in person when needed. We're invested in the community and build long-term relationships, not just process transactions during tax season.

Question 6

How do I get started with your tax preparation services?

Accepted Answer

Call us at (570) 630-0201 or our toll-free number 1 (855) 642-8293 to schedule your appointment. We'll discuss your situation and determine what services you need.

For basic tax preparation, bring your tax documents and we'll get started right away. For business returns or complex situations, we may schedule a consultation first to understand your needs and provide accurate pricing.

If you have IRS problems or back tax issues, we offer free consultations to assess your situation. We're located at 569 Easton Turnpike in Lake Ariel, just a short drive from Tunkhannock, or we can work with you remotely if that's more convenient.
