Question 1

How much does tax resolution cost in Indian Mountain Lake, PA?

Accepted Answer

We charge a consultation fee that gets credited 100% toward your resolution work if you engage our services. This means you're not paying twice - the consultation fee becomes part of your total cost.

Our fees depend on the complexity of your case, not how much you owe. A simple installment agreement costs less than a complex offer in compromise negotiation. We'll give you a clear fee structure upfront so there are no surprises.

Unlike companies that charge thousands upfront with no guarantee of results, you only pay our full fees after we've started working on your case and you've seen our approach.

Question 2

Can you stop IRS wage garnishment immediately in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can often get wage garnishments released quickly, sometimes within days of engaging our services. The key is immediate professional contact with the IRS collection division handling your case.

We submit the proper paperwork to show you're working with representation and negotiating a resolution. This typically results in a temporary hold on collection actions while we work out a permanent solution.

However, this isn't automatic. It requires proper documentation of your financial situation and a realistic proposal for resolving the debt. That's why the initial consultation and case analysis is so important.

Question 3

What's the difference between legitimate tax resolution and scams?

Accepted Answer

Legitimate companies like us don't promise you'll qualify for programs before reviewing your case. We don't guarantee specific outcomes or claim we can eliminate your tax debt for "pennies on the dollar."

Scam companies typically demand large upfront fees, make unrealistic promises, and use high-pressure sales tactics. They often drag out the process to collect monthly fees without actually resolving anything.

We provide honest assessments of your options based on IRS guidelines and your actual financial situation. Some cases qualify for significant debt reduction, others need payment plans, and some require different strategies entirely.

Question 4

How long does tax resolution take in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

Simple cases like installment agreements can be resolved in 30-60 days. More complex cases involving offers in compromise or multiple tax years can take 6-12 months or longer.

The timeline depends on several factors: how quickly you provide required documentation, the IRS workload, the complexity of your financial situation, and whether you owe state taxes in addition to federal.

We work to resolve cases as quickly as possible while ensuring you get the best outcome. Rushing through negotiations often results in worse terms, so we balance speed with thorough representation.

Question 5

Do you handle Pennsylvania state tax problems too?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Pennsylvania's Department of Revenue can be just as aggressive as the IRS when collecting unpaid taxes. They can garnish wages, levy bank accounts, and place liens on property.

We handle Pennsylvania income tax, business tax, and sales tax issues. The state has different programs and procedures than the IRS, so you need representation that understands both systems.

Many of our Indian Mountain Lake clients have both federal and state tax problems. We coordinate resolution of both simultaneously to avoid conflicting payment arrangements and ensure you have a workable solution.

Question 6

What happens if I can't afford any payment plan?

Accepted Answer

If you truly can't afford any payment, you may qualify for "Currently Not Collectible" status with the IRS. This temporarily suspends collection actions while your financial situation improves.

To qualify, we need to demonstrate that paying anything toward your tax debt would create financial hardship. This requires detailed financial documentation and proper presentation to the IRS.

Currently Not Collectible status isn't permanent - the IRS reviews your situation periodically. But it gives you breathing room to get back on your feet without the pressure of collection actions.
