WHY CHOOSE US?

You Are Not Alone — You May Qualify for IRS Penalty Relief

The IRS adds penalties for late filing, late payment, and other issues. These penalties can quickly increase your total balance.

Common IRS penalties include:

  • Failure-to-File Penalty – Generally 5% of the unpaid tax per month, up to a maximum of 25%.
  • Failure-to-Pay Penalty – Generally 0.5% of the unpaid tax per month until the balance is paid.
  • Accuracy-Related Penalty – Generally 20% of the underpayment when the IRS determines substantial reporting errors occurred.

You may qualify to reduce or remove these penalties if you meet certain criteria governed by Internal Revenue Code Sections 6651 and 6662, as well as IRS Internal Revenue Manual Section 20.1.1, which provides guidance regarding penalty administration and reasonable cause determinations. We will help you evaluate your situation and determine whether you qualify for:

  • IRS penalty abatement
  • IRS first-time penalty abatement
  • Penalty abatement for reasonable cause
