Creative Solutions for State and Federal Tax Problems
Because the IRS and Pennsylvania Department of Revenue authorities have extraordinary enforcement powers and get special priority in bankruptcy, tax problems can be among the hardest debt situations to solve for small businesses and consumers. Nevertheless, a clear understanding of your situation, together with creative strategies, can point the way toward solutions.

With years of experience resolving difficult tax problems, Harrisburg attorney Brian J. Tyler has a good relationship with the IRS and can help you work out past-due tax obligations of all kinds — unpaid income taxes, unfiled tax returns, payroll taxes and sales tax.
Both the state and federal tax authorities are more receptive to negotiations if you approach them before they resort to levy and asset seizure, garnishment or other extreme enforcement tools. The sooner you go to work on tax problems, the wider your range of possible solutions is likely to be.
We attack problems with tax liabilities from two perspectives. We do everything possible to prevent enforcement measures through realistic and constructive negotiation. We also analyze each situation under all available remedies to determine the best option for each client. Some clients will be able to discharge certain types of taxes in bankruptcy. Another client's tax problem might not be the type where a discharge is possible. In which case, we would explore payment plans, possible Offer-in-Compromise or other creative alternatives.
Sometimes the remedy to tax solutions can take several years to complete, depending on how much tax you owe. This relates to the second stage of our strategy, which concerns the treatment of tax debt in bankruptcy. While recent taxes are not subject to discharge, tax obligations for which the returns have been filed can generally be discharged after three years. That means that your bankruptcy option acquires additional strength even after you have worked toward paying down your tax obligations and should be considered along with all other options.
Both business and consumer clients have realized significant benefits from our patient and flexible approach to tax problems. To learn how our solutions can work for you, contact the Law Offices of Brian J. Tyler in Harrisburg.
