With our assistance first-time penalty abatement (FTA) is possible and is the process by which the IRS agrees to remove penalties from your tax debt. That includes penalties for failure to file, failure to pay, and failure to deposit. The IRS might also eliminate interest related to those penalties.
Tax debt collects penalties and interest much faster than many people realize. If your debt is a few years old, you may see your liability growing at a faster rate than you can pay. We can help reduce or remove these penalties if you are qualified for a penalty abatement.
Taxpayers can request relief from penalties. For the failure to file or pay a fine, taxpayers can ask the IRS to "abate" the penalties. Abatement is merely eliminating the penalties after they are evaluated to the taxpayer. Failure to File (FTF) and Failure to Pay (FTP) fines usually require abatement because of the fact that the IRS assesses these penalties in an electronic format (using its computer systems) when a return is filed, or a transaction is made on a balance due account.
Other fines usually require different techniques to request relief. For instance, the estimated tax penalty is usually not "abatable" by the taxpayers. Instead, taxpayers can request an exemption from the penalty when submitting their tax return (individuals use Form 2210).
Other penalties are recommended during IRS audits and inspections. These consist of accuracy or fraud penalties, and generally require the taxpayer to deal with IRS auditors or appeals officers prior to the evaluation of the penalty. Taxpayers can ask for abatement of return accuracy penalties after they are evaluated, however the abatement process may require using unique IRS methods or taking the IRS to court. This can take years to settle.
You could get approved for relief from fines if you made an initiative to abide by the demands of the law, but were unable to satisfy your tax obligations because of circumstances beyond your control.
If you received a notice, be sure to check that the information in your notification is accurate. If you can correct an issue in your notice, a penalty may not be applicable.
