Question 1

How quickly can you stop IRS wage garnishment in Bohemia?

Accepted Answer

We can typically get wage garnishments released within 24-48 hours by establishing an immediate resolution plan with the IRS. The garnishment stops as soon as we set up an installment agreement or get you qualified for currently non-collectible status.

Time is critical because the IRS takes up to 25% of your disposable income every paycheck once garnishment starts. For most Bohemia families, this creates immediate financial crisis.

We contact the revenue officer handling your case, provide current financial documentation, and propose a resolution that works for both you and the IRS. All communication goes through us so you avoid dealing with collection agents directly.

Question 2

What tax relief services work best for Pennsylvania residents?

Accepted Answer

Pennsylvania residents have access to both federal tax relief programs and state-specific options like tax forgiveness for qualifying low-income taxpayers. The best approach depends on your total debt, income level, and family size.

Installment agreements work well for taxpayers who can afford monthly payments but need time to pay off their debt. Offers in compromise can reduce your total debt if you qualify based on income and asset limitations.

Pennsylvania's tax forgiveness program can eliminate state tax liability entirely for families meeting poverty income guidelines. We help determine if you qualify and handle the application process to maximize your benefits.

Question 3

How much does professional tax resolution cost?

Accepted Answer

Tax resolution fees depend on your case complexity and the type of resolution needed. Simple installment agreements typically cost $1,500-$3,000, while offers in compromise range from $3,500-$7,500 based on debt amount and documentation requirements.

We provide detailed fee estimates after reviewing your specific situation during consultation. If you engage our services, we credit 100% of your consultation fee toward the resolution work.

Most clients save far more than they pay in fees through reduced monthly payments, penalty abatement, and avoiding future compliance problems. Professional representation often results in better outcomes than attempting self-resolution.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Yes, we handle both federal IRS problems and Pennsylvania Department of Revenue issues simultaneously. Many taxpayers face dual-agency collection actions that require coordinated resolution strategies.

Federal tax problems involve IRS collection powers like wage garnishment, bank levies, and asset seizure. Pennsylvania state tax problems include personal income tax, business tax, and sales tax issues with their own collection procedures.

Both agencies can file liens and garnish wages, but they operate under different rules and timelines. We coordinate resolution strategies that address your total tax debt efficiently rather than handling each agency separately.

Question 5

What happens if I haven't filed Pennsylvania tax returns?

Accepted Answer

Unfiled Pennsylvania returns create problems with both state and federal agencies because the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue shares information with the IRS. Both agencies can file substitute returns using only income information without your deductions.

We help get you back into compliance by preparing and filing all missing returns for both agencies, then negotiating resolution of any resulting tax debt. Pennsylvania typically requires recent years to be filed before considering payment plans.

Often the actual tax owed is significantly lower than what substitute returns show because we can claim all deductions and credits you're entitled to. Some years may even result in refunds that reduce your overall balance.

Question 6

Do you handle business payroll tax problems in Bohemia?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but business payroll tax problems require immediate action because they carry personal liability for business owners. The IRS can hold you personally responsible for unpaid payroll taxes even if your business is incorporated.

We help businesses get current on payroll deposits, file missing quarterly returns, and negotiate payment plans for past-due amounts. The key is acting before the IRS assesses Trust Fund Recovery Penalties against you personally.

For businesses that can't afford current payroll taxes, we sometimes recommend temporary closure or restructuring to prevent additional personal liability. Continuing operations while falling behind on payroll taxes creates escalating problems.
