Can you really settle my tax debt for pennies on the dollar?

Question 4

What happens if I have unfiled tax returns going back years?

Accepted Answer

Unfiled returns are actually easier to resolve than most people think. We prepare all missing returns using IRS records and any documentation you have available.The IRS typically requires the last six years of returns before they'll negotiate any resolution. We handle all preparation work and make sure everything is accurate for both federal and Pennsylvania filings.Filing those missing returns often reveals you don't owe as much as feared. Sometimes you're even entitled to refunds that can offset your debt significantly.

Question 5

Will hiring tax resolution services hurt my credit score?

Accepted Answer

No, enrolling in tax resolution services doesn't directly impact your credit score. However, existing tax liens may already be affecting your credit. We can work to get those released as part of your resolution.Once we resolve your tax debt, you can request credit bureaus remove tax lien information from your report. This often improves your credit score significantly.The key is addressing tax problems before they get worse. Ignoring tax debt only leads to more collection actions that damage your financial life.

Question 6

How do I know if a tax resolution company is legitimate?

Accepted Answer

Legitimate tax resolution companies are upfront about costs, realistic about outcomes, and never guarantee specific results. They should have licensed professionals like Enrolled Agents or tax attorneys on staff.Avoid companies that promise to settle debt for pennies before reviewing your finances. Avoid anyone demanding large upfront payments or guaranteeing specific outcomes.We provide references, explain our process clearly, and never make promises we can't keep.
