Question 1

How much do tax preparers charge to fix IRS problems in Yostville?

Accepted Answer

We offer free consultations to assess your situation and explain exactly what your case will cost. Our fees depend on the complexity of your problems and which services you need to get back on track.

We're completely upfront about costs from day one. No surprise fees, no charging you for services that won't help your situation. During your free consultation, we'll give you a detailed breakdown of what everything costs and what results you can expect.

Most clients find that our professional representation saves them money in the long run. We reduce penalties, interest, and often the total amount owed through various IRS programs. The cost of hiring us is usually much less than what we save you.

Question 2

Can you really reduce my tax debt or are you just selling hope?

Accepted Answer

We can reduce tax debt in many cases through legitimate IRS programs, but we're honest about what's possible for your specific situation. We don't make promises we can't keep just to get you to sign up.

The most common ways we reduce debt include offers in compromise, penalty abatements, and currently not collectible status. An offer in compromise lets you settle your tax debt for less than you owe. But you have to qualify financially, and not everyone does.

During your free consultation, we'll tell you exactly which programs you qualify for and what kind of reduction is realistic. If we don't think we can help you, we'll tell you that too. We only take cases where we're confident we can get you a better outcome than you'd get on your own.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Not filing returns makes everything worse, but it's fixable. The IRS can file substitute returns for you, but they never include the deductions and credits you're entitled to, so you end up owing more than you should.

We file all your missing returns properly, claiming every legitimate deduction to minimize what you owe. We also work to reduce or eliminate penalties for late filing when you have reasonable cause.

The key is acting fast. The longer you wait, the more interest, fines, and penalties accrue. Every month you delay costs you more money. We can get you caught up and set up a payment plan if you can't pay everything at once.

Question 4

How long does it take to resolve tax problems with the IRS?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your specific situation and which solutions work best for your case. Simple penalty abatements might take a few weeks. Payment plans usually take 30-60 days. Complex cases involving offers in compromise can take 6-12 months.

We give you realistic timelines based on your specific case during your consultation. We also keep you updated throughout the process so you always know where things stand and what's happening next.

Our goal is to resolve your problems as quickly as possible while getting you the best outcome. We won't drag things out to increase our fees, but we also won't rush if taking more time means a better result for you.

Question 5

Will the IRS stop trying to collect from me if I hire you?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. When we represent you, we can often get collection activities paused while we work on your case. This includes stopping wage garnishments, bank levies, and preventing new liens.

We contact the IRS immediately to establish representation and request a hold on collection actions. If you're facing immediate threats like wage garnishment, we can often get it stopped quickly once we're officially representing you.

But timing matters. The sooner you get professional help, the more options we have to protect you. If you wait until your paycheck is already being garnished, it takes longer to fix.

Question 6

Do you handle Pennsylvania state tax problems or just federal?

Accepted Answer

We handle both federal and Pennsylvania state tax issues. Many Yostville residents have problems with both the IRS and the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, so we're experienced with both systems.

Whether you're an established business owner or planning to start a new venture, understanding the tax landscape in Pennsylvania is crucial. We understand Pennsylvania's tax requirements and can resolve issues with personal income tax, business taxes, and other state obligations.

Our local knowledge of Pennsylvania tax laws gives us an advantage in resolving state tax problems effectively. Whether you owe back taxes to Pennsylvania or need help with unfiled state returns, we can handle it alongside your federal tax issues.
