Question 1

How much will it cost to resolve my tax debt in Stormville?

Accepted Answer

The cost depends entirely on your specific situation and what needs to be done. Unlike firms that charge percentage-based fees that can run into tens of thousands, we base our fees on the actual work required.

During your consultation, we'll give you a clear breakdown of costs with no hidden fees or surprises. If you decide to move forward, we credit 100% of your consultation fee toward the resolution work. Most of our clients find our approach much more affordable than the big national firms that spend millions on advertising and pass those costs on to you.

Question 2

Can you really get my tax debt reduced or eliminated?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes—but only if you actually qualify for reduction programs. We don't make promises we can't keep or tell everyone they can "settle for pennies on the dollar."

The IRS has specific programs like Offers in Compromise, Currently Not Collectible status, and penalty abatement that can significantly reduce what you owe. But qualification depends on your financial situation, not wishful thinking. We'll tell you honestly what's possible in your case and pursue every legitimate option to minimize what you pay.

Question 3

How long does the tax resolution process take?

Accepted Answer

Most cases resolve within 6-12 months, but it varies based on complexity and which resolution option works best for your situation. Simple penalty abatement might take a few weeks, while an Offer in Compromise can take 8-12 months.

What matters most is that we stop collection actions immediately when we take your case. The IRS can't levy your bank account or garnish wages while we're actively negotiating your resolution. So even if the final resolution takes several months, you get relief from collection pressure right away.

Question 4

What happens if I just ignore my tax problems?

Accepted Answer

Ignoring tax problems is the worst possible strategy. The IRS has more collection power than any other creditor—they can seize bank accounts, garnish wages, and put liens on your property without going to court first.

Meanwhile, penalties and interest keep accumulating, often doubling or tripling your original debt. What might be manageable today becomes impossible to handle if you wait. The sooner you address tax problems, the more options you have and the less you'll ultimately pay.

Question 5

Do you handle both IRS and Pennsylvania state tax problems?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many of our Stormville clients have issues with both federal and state taxes, especially business owners dealing with Pennsylvania's complex tax requirements.

We handle everything from personal income tax problems to business payroll tax issues, sales tax disputes, and corporate income tax problems. Having one firm manage both federal and state issues is much more efficient than trying to coordinate between different representatives who may not communicate with each other.

Question 6

How do I know if you're legitimate and not a scam?

Accepted Answer

Smart question—there are plenty of tax resolution scams out there. Here's how we're different: We have physical offices you can visit, we've been in business for years with the same phone numbers, and we never promise results we can't deliver.

We don't use high-pressure sales tactics or demand huge upfront payments. We explain exactly what we can and can't do in your situation. Most importantly, we credit your consultation fee toward your resolution work if you decide to proceed—scam companies don't do that because they're not confident in their ability to deliver results.
