Question 1

How quickly can you stop IRS wage garnishment or bank levies?

Accepted Answer

We can often stop wage garnishments and bank levies within 24-48 hours of taking your case. The key is immediate action - once we file the proper paperwork with the IRS and establish representation, collection actions typically halt while we negotiate your resolution.For bank levies, you usually have 21 days to respond before funds are permanently seized. We work aggressively within this timeframe to protect your assets. For wage garnishments, we can request immediate release while working on your long-term resolution plan.The sooner you contact us, the more options we have to protect your finances and negotiate the best possible outcome for your situation.

Question 2

What is an Offer in Compromise and do I qualify?

Accepted Answer

An Offer in Compromise allows you to settle your tax debt for significantly less than you owe - sometimes pennies on the dollar. The IRS accepts these offers when the proposed amount represents the most they can realistically expect to collect from you.Qualification depends on your income, expenses, assets, and ability to pay. If you're experiencing financial hardship, have limited assets, or your income barely covers necessary living expenses, you may qualify. We analyze your complete financial picture to determine eligibility.Not everyone qualifies, but many more people are eligible than realize it. Even if you don't qualify for an Offer in Compromise, we can explore other options like installment agreements or Currently Not Collectible status to resolve your tax debt.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Yes, we handle both state and federal tax resolution. Pennsylvania's tax system creates unique challenges - the state has limited deductions and a flat tax rate that can catch taxpayers off guard, especially when combined with local municipal taxes.We understand Pennsylvania's specific tax laws and how they interact with federal obligations. Many Harmony residents face issues with both state and federal taxes simultaneously, requiring coordinated resolution strategies to avoid conflicting payment plans or settlements.Our experience with Pennsylvania Department of Revenue procedures ensures we can negotiate effectively on both levels, often resolving state and federal issues together for maximum savings and convenience.

Question 5

What happens if the IRS has already filed liens against my property?

Accepted Answer

Tax liens don't mean your situation is hopeless - they can often be released or subordinated as part of your resolution plan. Liens protect the IRS's interest in your property, but they can be removed once we establish a proper payment arrangement or settlement.We can negotiate lien releases, lien subordinations (allowing you to refinance or sell property), or lien withdrawals that remove the lien from public records entirely. The key is having an acceptable resolution plan in place first.Even with existing liens, you may still qualify for Offers in Compromise or other resolution options. We've successfully helped many clients remove liens and restore their credit while resolving their underlying tax debt.
