Question 1

How long does tax resolution take in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

Most cases resolve within 3-6 months, but it depends on your specific situation and which resolution option works best. Simple payment plans can be set up quickly, sometimes within weeks.Offers in Compromise take longer because the IRS requires detailed financial analysis. Currently Not Collectible status can often be achieved faster if you qualify.

Every day you wait, penalties and interest keep adding up, making your situation worse and more expensive to resolve.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Yes, through the Offer in Compromise program, but only if you qualify. The IRS accepts about 26% of all offers submitted, but experienced professionals like us achieve much higher success rates.You must prove you can't pay the full amount without creating financial hardship.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

We can often get bank levies released, but timing is critical. You typically have 21 days from when the levy notice was sent to take action before the bank sends your money to the IRS.If the levy already happened, we can still request a release by showing it's causing economic hardship or by setting up a resolution plan. Sometimes we can even get seized funds returned if the levy was improper.The most important thing is calling us immediately when you receive any IRS notice. Don't wait until after they've taken your money. Prevention is always easier and more effective than trying to undo IRS enforcement actions after they've already happened.
