Question 1

How quickly can you stop an IRS wage garnishment in White Mills?

Accepted Answer

We can often stop wage garnishments within 24-48 hours of being hired, depending on your specific situation. The key is acting fast—once the IRS sends the garnishment notice to your employer, they're required to comply until we intervene.

Our first step is immediately contacting the IRS to request a hold on collection actions while we evaluate your case. This gives us time to negotiate a better solution, whether that's a payment plan, Offer in Compromise, or proving you qualify for currently not collectible status. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can protect your paycheck.

Question 2

What tax resolution options are available for White Mills residents?

Accepted Answer

White Mills residents have access to all IRS resolution programs, but the best option depends on your financial situation. Offers in Compromise can reduce your debt significantly if you qualify based on income and assets. Installment agreements let you pay over time with terms you can actually afford.

Currently Not Collectible status stops collection actions if you're experiencing financial hardship. Penalty abatement can eliminate failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties if you have reasonable cause. For business owners, we can address payroll tax issues and trust fund recovery penalties. We evaluate every option during your consultation to find the best fit for your circumstances.

Question 3

How much does tax resolution service cost in White Mills?

Accepted Answer

Our fees depend on the complexity of your case and which resolution strategy we pursue. Simple payment plan setups typically cost less than complex Offers in Compromise that require extensive financial documentation and negotiation. We provide transparent, upfront pricing after reviewing your situation.

Most clients find our fees are a fraction of what they save in reduced tax debt, eliminated penalties, and stopped collection actions. We also offer payment plans for our services because we understand you're already dealing with financial pressure. During your free consultation, we'll explain exactly what your case will cost with no hidden fees or surprises.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Yes, we handle both IRS and Pennsylvania Department of Revenue issues from our Lake Ariel office. Many White Mills residents have problems with both agencies, especially business owners dealing with payroll taxes or individuals with unfiled returns at both levels.

State tax problems can be just as serious as federal issues—Pennsylvania can garnish wages, levy bank accounts, and place liens on property. We have experience negotiating with Pennsylvania tax authorities and understand their specific programs and procedures. Having one firm handle both federal and state issues ensures coordinated strategy and better outcomes.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Unfiled returns are one of the most common issues we see with White Mills clients, and it's more serious than most people realize. The IRS considers failure to file a criminal offense, and they can file substitute returns that typically show much higher taxes owed than if you file yourself.

We start by preparing and filing all missing returns, often negotiating penalty abatement for reasonable cause. Once you're compliant with filing requirements, we can pursue other resolution options like payment plans or Offers in Compromise. The key is getting those returns filed quickly—every month you wait, penalties and interest continue to grow, and your options become more limited.

Question 6

Do you provide ongoing tax services after resolving my tax debt?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Resolving your current tax problem is just the first step—staying compliant going forward is equally important. Many resolution programs like Offers in Compromise require you to file and pay on time for several years, or the agreement can be terminated.

We offer annual tax preparation, quarterly estimated tax planning, and ongoing consultation to keep you on track. Our White Mills clients appreciate having a local team they can call with questions throughout the year. This relationship approach means you'll never face tax problems alone again, and we can catch potential issues before they become serious problems.
