The same thing the IRS can do — only closer to home. Pennsylvania taxes personal income at a flat 3.07%, and a year you didn't file federally is usually unfiled with the state too. The Department of Revenue can assess what you owe, add penalties and interest, file liens that can be revived and enforced for years, and use collection tools of its own. And don't forget the local tax — most Monroe County residents also owe local earned income tax on top of the state. State debt needs the same approach as federal: get the returns filed, see what's really owed, and negotiate a resolution. We represent clients before the IRS and the state — one plan, both agencies.
