Question 1

How much does tax resolution cost in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

Our fees depend on the complexity of your case, but we're transparent about costs upfront. Unlike many companies, we don't require a minimum debt amount to work with you.

If you decide to hire us after your consultation, we credit 100% of your consultation fee toward your resolution work. This means you're not paying twice—once to talk and again to get results. We also offer payment plans because we understand that if you had extra money lying around, you probably wouldn't have tax problems in the first place.

Question 2

Can you really settle my tax debt for less than I owe?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, yes—but not always, and anyone who promises you can settle for "pennies on the dollar" without knowing your situation is lying to you. The IRS Offer in Compromise program exists, but it has strict qualification requirements.

About 26% of offers are accepted nationally, but experienced professionals have much higher success rates because they know which cases qualify and how to present them properly. We'll tell you honestly whether you're a good candidate for an offer or if another resolution strategy makes more sense for your situation.

Question 3

What happens if the IRS has already levied my bank account?

Accepted Answer

Bank levies freeze your account and can cause checks to bounce, but they're not permanent. We can often get levies released quickly once we establish communication with the IRS and begin working on your resolution.

The key is acting fast. You typically have 21 days to respond to IRS notices before they take collection action. Even if they've already levied your account, we may be able to get an asset levy release and potentially recover your funds. The sooner you call, the more options we have to help you.

Question 4

Do you handle Pennsylvania state tax problems too?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we resolve both federal and Pennsylvania state tax issues. This is important because tax problems rarely stay contained to just one agency. If you owe the IRS, you often owe Pennsylvania too, and vice versa.

Pennsylvania has its own collection procedures and resolution programs. They can place liens, levy bank accounts, and garnish wages just like the IRS. Having one firm handle both saves you time, money, and the headache of coordinating between different representatives. We know both systems and can often negotiate better outcomes when we're handling your complete tax situation.

Question 5

How long does tax resolution typically take in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

Simple cases might resolve in 30-60 days, while complex situations involving multiple years, business taxes, or offers in compromise can take 6-12 months or longer. The timeline depends on your specific circumstances and which resolution strategy we pursue.

What matters more than speed is getting it done right. We've seen too many people get rushed into bad deals that don't actually solve their problems. We take the time needed to negotiate the best possible outcome, whether that's penalty abatement, a manageable payment plan, or settling your debt for less than you owe.

Question 6

What should I bring to my consultation about my tax problems?

Accepted Answer

Bring any IRS or state notices you've received, copies of unfiled tax returns if you have them, and financial documents like bank statements and pay stubs. If you don't have everything, don't worry—we can help you get copies of what's missing.

The most important thing is to be completely honest about your situation. We can't help you if we don't know the whole story. Everything you tell us is confidential, and we've heard it all before. Our job is to find solutions, not judge you for how you got here.
