We have been very successful in getting IRS tax penalties waived or reduced for our clients, including penalties for failure to file, late filing, and underpayment of taxes due. If this is the first time you’re filing a late return, or if you were previously in good standing and have been on time with your returns for the last three years, the IRS may offer you a penalty abatement.

You may also appeal your penalties by petitioning for abatement due to reasonable cause, meaning unforeseen circumstances significant enough they prevented you from filing or paying your taxes on time. Some examples include a medical emergency, temporary disability, ​extreme​ ​financial​ ​hardship, or natural disaster. Tax fraud carried out in your name by a CPA or tax preparation service may also be eligible grounds for an appeal.

Even if you don’t qualify for these specific types of waivers, our tax abatement experts will work with you to get your penalties reduced or eliminated. We want to ensure that you do not see your tax debt rise each month due to compounding interest and penalties on overdue tax payments.
