Question 1

How much does tax resolution help cost in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

Our fees depend on your specific situation and the complexity of resolution needed. We always start with a free consultation where we'll give you an honest assessment and clear fee structure before any work begins. Simple installment agreement setups typically cost less than complex offer in compromise cases that require extensive financial documentation and negotiation. We believe in transparent pricing - you'll know exactly what you're paying and what services that includes. Most clients find our fees are quickly offset by the penalties and interest we eliminate. We've saved clients thousands in penalties alone, often making our services pay for themselves while getting you back in compliance.

Question 2

Can you help with both IRS and Pennsylvania state tax problems?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we handle tax problems at both federal and state levels, including issues with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. Many taxpayers don't realize that Pennsylvania can be more aggressive than the IRS in collection efforts. The state has the same powers as the IRS - they can garnish wages, freeze bank accounts, and place liens on your property. Pennsylvania often moves faster because they have fewer resources and want to resolve cases quickly rather than let them drag on. We coordinate our efforts between federal and state issues because they often impact each other. Resolving your IRS problem can help with Pennsylvania, and vice versa. Our goal is to get you completely clean with both agencies.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Unfiled returns are completely fixable, and you're not alone - this is one of the most common problems we handle. The IRS typically wants the last six years of unfiled returns before they'll negotiate payment arrangements. We help reconstruct your tax situation using W-2s, 1099s, bank records, and other documentation. If you're missing paperwork, we know exactly how to obtain copies from employers, financial institutions, and government agencies. Once we file your back returns, we can then negotiate realistic payment arrangements or other resolution options. The key is getting compliant first. Every month you wait, more penalties and interest accrue. But taking action now stops the bleeding and gives us room to negotiate.

Question 4

How long does the tax resolution process typically take?

Accepted Answer

Timeline depends on your specific situation and which resolution option works best. Simple installment agreements can often be approved within 30-60 days, while offers in compromise typically take 6-12 months due to IRS processing requirements. The good news is that once we begin representation, aggressive collection activities usually stop or slow significantly. You get breathing room while we work toward a permanent solution. We stay on top of your case and follow up regularly to prevent unnecessary delays. We'll keep you informed at every step so you know what's happening and what to expect next. No surprises, no disappearing acts - just consistent progress toward resolving your tax problems permanently.

Question 5

Do you only help with tax problems or do regular tax preparation too?

Accepted Answer

We provide both tax problem resolution and regular tax preparation services for individuals and businesses throughout the Uswick area. Many clients initially come to us for help with IRS issues, then stay for ongoing tax preparation and planning. Our preparation services include personal and business returns, quarterly estimated payments, multi-state filings, and proactive tax planning to minimize future liabilities. We're particularly experienced with Pennsylvania's complex tax requirements and local obligations that many preparers miss. Having both services under one roof means we can spot potential problems early and help you avoid the issues that brought you to us initially. Prevention is always better and cheaper than resolution after problems develop.

Question 6

What makes All County Tax Resolution different from other tax firms?

Accepted Answer

Most tax firms focus on preparation and disappear after filing season. We specialize in solving tax problems year-round. We have extensive experience negotiating with both the IRS and Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, and we understand the collection process from the inside. Our approach is solution-focused rather than volume-driven. We take time to understand your specific financial situation and develop realistic resolutions you can actually follow through on. Cookie-cutter approaches don't work for complex tax problems. We also believe in education and clear communication. You'll understand exactly what's happening with your case, what options are available, and what you need to do to maintain compliance going forward. Our goal isn't just solving your current problem - it's preventing future ones.
