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:

  • Remove or reduce IRS penalties
  • Stop penalty accrual and mounting interest
  • Reopen relief options like Offer in Compromise or Installment Agreements
  • Restore your compliance and peace of mind

Why Penalty Abatement Matters

Every year you delay can tack on:

  • Failure-to-file penalties of up to 25% of your unpaid tax
  • Failure-to-pay penalties of 0.5% per month
  • Compounded interest on both balances and penalties

By securing penalty abatement, you cut away unnecessary fees, lower your total liability, and make your path to full resolution far more affordable.

Penalty Abatement Options

First-Time Penalty Abatement (FTA)

Available to taxpayers with a clean compliance history who have not had penalties in the prior three years.

Reasonable-Cause Waiver

Granted when circumstances beyond your control—serious illness, natural disaster, or other hardships—prevented timely filing or payment.

Administrative Waivers

Special IRS-designated programs (e.g., Disaster Relief, IRS Error) may allow for broader penalty relief.

Statutory Exceptions

Certain penalties can be waived if they stem from IRS processing delays or incorrect notices.

Free Case Evaluation

We review your IRS transcripts and penalty history—at no cost—to identify abatement opportunities.

Abatement Request Preparation

We draft and submit Form 843 (Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement) or First-Time Abatement packets on your behalf.

IRS Negotiation & Follow-Up

We liaise with IRS examiners, respond to any additional information requests, and push for timely resolution.

Ongoing Compliance Oversight

Once penalties are abated, we monitor your account so no new fees or interest accumulate—and guide you toward long-term compliance.
