IRS penalties and interest can cause a small delinquent tax debt to compound into an unmanageable amount within a very short period of time. Penalties alone can make up 25% of the amount you owe. Our experienced tax professionals are experts at penalty abatement – getting the IRS to either completely or partially remove your penalty. This will reduce the amount you owe and help you get your tax debt resolved quickly. Typically when someone owes the IRS, they are in a tough situation. Penalties only set that individual back more, pushing them into a deeper hole. The IRS has a broad definition of abatement, with the requirement that you meet one of these three basic reasons:
- Reasonable cause
- Administrative waivers
- A mistake by the IRS
While “reasonable cause” will depend on your particular situation, usually you will qualify if there were factors out of your control involved in your not paying your tax debt. For example:
- Major illness
- Destruction or theft of your records
- Death in the family
- Disaster (such as a hurricane, earthquake, flood, etc.)
- Lengthy unemployment
- Divorce or other major life disruption
