IRS Penalty Abatement
A request can be made for IRS to waive IRS tax penalties and if a reasonable cause can be made that there were extenuating circumstances beyond the control of the taxpayer, there is a good chance that the request will be honored. Penalty abatement can significantly reduce the amount owed IRS. Examples of reasonable cause are; however not limited to:
- You made errors or mistakes on your tax return (evidence of care and due diligence must be provided) .
- You experienced a death, serious illness, or unexpected or unavoidable absences which resulted in an IRS tax penalty.
- You were unable to obtain tax records necessary to complete your return.
- Your received inaccurate advice from the IRS (written or oral).
- Incorrect advice directly from the IRS, written or oral.
- You experienced a casualty which resulted in the destruction of your tax records such as a fire, flood, theft or an act of God.
- Ignorance of the Law (you must demonstrate you made a reasonable effort to learn the law though).
