Question 1

How much will professional tax resolution cost?

Accepted Answer

Every situation is different, so we publish honest starting points rather than a flat price. Entry-level services — account investigation, releasing a lien, levy, or wage garnishment, penalty abatement, or audit representation — generally start in the low thousands. More complex flagship matters — Offers in Compromise, payroll/941 (Trust Fund Recovery Penalty) defense, large-debt resolution, and full U.S. Tax Court representation — are scoped after a case review. What moves the price: how many years are involved, whether a Revenue Officer is assigned, combined business and personal exposure, how much of the collection statute remains, and the state of your records. You'll get clear pricing for your specific case at your free evaluation — no surprises.

Question 2

I'm afraid of calling — will contacting you make things worse with the IRS?

Accepted Answer

No. A confidential conversation with a representative doesn't trigger anything with the IRS — and once you retain us, we file a Power of Attorney so the IRS deals with us instead of you. Most people feel relief after the first call simply because they finally understand their options.

Question 3

How long will it take to resolve my tax issues?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the issue and the IRS's own timelines — some matters move in weeks, others (like an Offer in Compromise) take months to work through IRS review. We'll give you a realistic timeline for your specific situation rather than a number that sounds good but isn't true.

Question 4

Is BestTaxPro legitimate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The firm is led by Joshua A. Webskowski, an Enrolled Agent (the highest credential the IRS awards) and a U.S. Tax Court Practitioner — one of the few non-attorneys authorized to represent taxpayers in U.S. Tax Court. He's a National Tax Practice Institute Fellow and past President of the Minnesota Society of Enrolled Agents. We're a private firm, not affiliated with the IRS, and operate under IRS Circular 230.

Question 5

I've ignored my back taxes for years — is it too late to get help?

Accepted Answer

No. It's almost never too late, and getting current is the first step to resolving everything else. The longer returns go unfiled the more the IRS may act on its own (often with a substitute return that ignores your deductions), so the sooner we map your filings, the better your position.

Question 6

Do you handle state tax matters as well?

Accepted Answer

Yes — including Minnesota Department of Revenue (MN DOR) collection, garnishment, and resolution, as well as other states. State tax problems often run alongside an IRS issue, and we coordinate both.

Question 7

What is an Enrolled Agent (EA)?

Accepted Answer

An Enrolled Agent is a federally licensed tax practitioner — the highest credential the IRS awards. EAs can represent any taxpayer, for any tax matter, in any state. It's earned through rigorous testing and ongoing ethics requirements under IRS Circular 230.
