State agencies may approve penalty abatement requests for several reasons. Common justifications include natural disasters, serious illness, or other significant life events that hindered compliance. Additionally, if a taxpayer can show that they acted in good faith and made efforts to comply with the law, this can also support their case for abatement.
Demonstrating good faith efforts is crucial in the abatement process. This may involve showing that the individual or business took steps to rectify the situation, such as making partial payments or seeking professional advice. Such actions can indicate a commitment to compliance and responsibility.
"Good faith efforts can be a key factor in the success of an abatement request."
