Frequently Asked Questions — Philadelphia IRS Tax Help
What makes Philadelphia's tax structure uniquely complex?
Philadelphia taxpayers face a triple-layer tax burden: federal IRS, Pennsylvania 3.07% flat income tax, and Philadelphia's City Wage Tax (3.75% for residents, 3.44% for non-residents working in the city). Each authority runs its own audit program. Philadelphia's large South Asian and Latin American communities carry FBAR and Form 3520 exposure. The Philadelphia IRS field office is one of the more active examination units on the East Coast.
Does Philadelphia's City Wage Tax create any IRS interaction?
The City Wage Tax is a local tax separate from the IRS, but Philadelphia business owners also face the Business Income & Receipts Tax (BIRT) on top of federal and state obligations. Pennsylvania's DOR participates in federal-state data sharing — IRS audit adjustments automatically trigger Pennsylvania state assessments. SCL handles federal IRS matters for Philadelphia clients, and can advise on multi-jurisdictional tax issues.
Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent Philadelphia clients?
Yes. SCL represents Philadelphia and all Pennsylvania clients remotely by phone and video. We handle IRS audits, tax debt, FBAR, back taxes, and all federal tax controversies. No in-person visit to Beverly Hills required.
How quickly can you stop a wage garnishment or bank levy?
In most cases, we can issue an IRS levy release or garnishment suspension within 24–72 hours of being retained, pending IRS processing. The first step is a free consultation to assess your situation.
What is the cost of a tax attorney consultation?
We offer a free initial consultation to evaluate your situation. Fee schedules vary by case type and complexity — we are transparent about fees before any engagement.
