Question 1

How much does tax resolution cost in Hamilton Square, PA?

Accepted Answer

We offer a free consultation to review your specific situation and explain your options. If you decide to move forward, we credit 100% of any consultation fee toward your resolution work.

Our fees depend on the complexity of your case, but we're transparent about costs upfront. Unlike some companies that charge $1,500 just to look at your case, we believe you should know what you're paying for and why. Most of our clients find that what they save in penalties, interest, and reduced debt far exceeds what they invest in professional representation.

We also work with you on payment arrangements 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 stop wage garnishment immediately in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can typically stop wage garnishments very quickly once we're representing you. The IRS is required to work with your representative, and we know exactly which forms to file and which procedures to follow.

For Pennsylvania residents, this is crucial because the state allows the IRS to take a significant portion of your paycheck - sometimes leaving you with barely enough to cover basic living expenses. We've seen cases where people were left with only a few hundred dollars from a $3,000 paycheck.

The key is acting fast. Once we file the proper paperwork with the IRS, they usually release the garnishment within a few business days while we work on your permanent resolution. Don't wait until your next paycheck gets hit - call us as soon as you receive the garnishment notice.

Question 3

What tax problems do you handle for Hamilton Square businesses?

Accepted Answer

We handle all types of business tax problems, but payroll tax issues are especially serious and need immediate attention. If you've fallen behind on 941 deposits, the IRS considers this a "trust fund" violation and will use their most aggressive collection tools.

For Hamilton Square businesses, this often happens during cash flow problems or when owners have to choose between paying employees and paying taxes. We understand these aren't intentional violations - they're usually the result of business challenges that every entrepreneur faces.

We can negotiate payment plans, penalty abatement, and in some cases, offers in compromise for business tax debt. We also help with sales tax problems, corporate income tax issues, and getting current with all filing requirements so your business can move forward without the constant threat of IRS action.

Question 4

How long does tax resolution take in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

Most cases resolve within 3-6 months, but it depends on which resolution option works best for your situation and how quickly the IRS processes your paperwork. Simple installment agreements can be approved in a few weeks, while offers in compromise typically take 6-12 months.

The important thing is that collection actions stop as soon as we start representing you. So even if your final resolution takes several months to approve, you're protected from garnishments, levies, and other aggressive collection actions during that time.

Pennsylvania cases sometimes involve coordination with both federal and state tax authorities, which can add some time to the process. But we handle all of that coordination for you, so you don't have to manage multiple cases or worry about conflicting requirements.

Question 5

Do I qualify for an offer in compromise in Hamilton Square?

Accepted Answer

Qualification for an offer in compromise depends on your ability to pay, not just your current financial situation. The IRS looks at your assets, income, and future earning potential to determine what they could realistically collect from you over time.

Many Hamilton Square residents assume they don't qualify because they own a home or have some assets. But the IRS uses specific formulas that often result in settlement amounts much lower than what you actually owe. We've seen cases where people settled $50,000+ tax debts for less than $5,000.

The key is presenting your case correctly with all the required documentation. The IRS rejects most offers because they're not prepared properly, not because people don't qualify. We know exactly how to present your financial information to maximize your chances of acceptance.

Question 6

What happens if I ignore my tax problems in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

Ignoring tax problems always makes them worse, never better. The IRS has more collection power than any other creditor - they can seize your bank accounts, garnish your wages, and place liens on your property without going to court first.

In Pennsylvania, this is especially problematic because you're dealing with both federal and state tax authorities. While you're avoiding the IRS, penalties and interest are compounding monthly, turning a manageable problem into a financial disaster.

We've seen people turn $10,000 tax debts into $30,000+ problems by waiting too long to get help. The IRS doesn't forget, and they don't give up. But they will work with you if you approach them correctly with professional representation. The sooner you address the problem, the more options you have and the less you'll ultimately pay.
