Unrelenting late-filing and late-payment penalties can quickly balloon your tax debt into an unmanageable sum. Our Penalty Abatement service is designed to help you:
Every year you delay can tack on:
By securing penalty abatement, you cut away unnecessary fees, lower your total liability, and make your path to full resolution far more affordable.
Available to taxpayers with a clean compliance history who have not had penalties in the prior three years.
Granted when circumstances beyond your control—serious illness, natural disaster, or other hardships—prevented timely filing or payment.
Special IRS-designated programs (e.g., Disaster Relief, IRS Error) may allow for broader penalty relief.
Certain penalties can be waived if they stem from IRS processing delays or incorrect notices.
We review your IRS transcripts and penalty history—at no cost—to identify abatement opportunities.
We collect and organize supporting evidence (medical records, court documents, hardship statements) to build your case.
We draft and submit Form 843 (Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement) or First-Time Abatement packets on your behalf.
We liaise with IRS examiners, respond to any additional information requests, and push for timely resolution.
Once penalties are abated, we monitor your account so no new fees or interest accumulate—and guide you toward long-term compliance.
Penalty abatement is the removal or reduction of failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties. You may qualify under First-Time Abatement if you have a clean penalty history, or through reasonable-cause waivers when serious illness, natural disasters, or other hardships prevented timely compliance.
You submit Form 843 (Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement) along with supporting documentation. Our team prepares and files the abatement request packet—detailing your qualifying circumstances—to maximize your chances of IRS approval.
No, penalty abatement eliminates or reduces IRS-imposed penalties, but interest continues to accrue on the unpaid principal balance. Lowering penalties, however, reduces the overall balance on which interest is calculated.
Processing times vary by IRS office, but most penalty abatement requests are resolved within 60–90 days after filing. Complex cases may require additional follow-up, which our team manages on your behalf.
