Civil Tax Penalties

IRS assesses penalties and interest on tax liabilities in order to increase taxes due years ago from hundreds to thousands of dollars. The IRS will sometimes lower or eliminate these fees with a well worded request by your tax attorney.

Tax Penalty Abatement

The Internal Revenue Code allows for abatement of any penalties associated with the late filing of a return, late payment of tax and late deposit of tax. However, the Code defines a list of compelling circumstances and “reasonable cause’s criteria” that must be met. Portions of the interest associated with these penalties can also be abated.

It is important to have a tax attorney file the necessary forms because submitting for a Penalty Abatement is usually a “one-time” shot.
