Abatement of Penalties Service | How to Reduce Tax Penalties

When the IRS believes you’ve made a mistake with your income taxes or it discovers you haven’t filed your taxes at all, it will assess a penalty and interest charges. If you’ve received a notice indicating that you owe a penalty, do not ignore it. Ignoring tax notices can result in wage garnishment, asset seizure and other extremely undesirable consequences.

We help clients across Denver, the state of Colorado and the U.S. with IRS penalties and tax abatement of penalties. We can negotiate with the IRS on your behalf and request a tax penalty abatement.

First-Time IRS Penalty Abatement

The IRS or other tax authorities can assess a penalty for a variety of reasons. These reasons include failing to file, failing to file on time without an extension and failing to pay income taxes on time. The good news is that the First Time Penalty Abatement policy can help you avoid paying this fee.

Here’s how first-time penalty abatement works. With every day that passes without you paying your penalty, the IRS will increase its amount until you pay your bill in full. But if you meet certain qualifications — such as making a payment arrangement — or you haven’t owed a penalty in the prior three years, the IRS may waive your penalty.

If you’re unsure whether or not your penalty qualifies for abatement, keep in mind that you may qualify based on Reasonable Cause.

What Is Reasonable Cause for Penalty Abatement?

If you don’t qualify for the First Time Penalty Abatement program, you may get penalty relief in other ways, such as Reasonable Cause. If you have a valid reason for failing to file a return or make a tax deposit, the IRS will waive the penalty.

Common situations that qualify for Reasonable Cause include death, serious illness, natural disaster, fire and the inability to obtain necessary documentation. The IRS may also accept other reasons not listed here that prove you acted responsibly and were unable to file or pay for reasons beyond your control.

The IRS will look for proof that you were unable to meet your tax filing or payment obligations. They’ll want to know what happened and where, how events affected your ability to meet other daily responsibilities and how you handled your affairs once you realized you couldn’t meet your obligations. You should expect to provide documentation such as court records or a letter from a physician confirming incapacitation.

Reaching out to BC Tax as soon as you have a problem will help you minimize or eliminate penalties and associated interest.

Will the IRS Abate Interest Charges?

Yes and no. The IRS will not abate interest charges on your unpaid back tax balance, but it may reduce or eliminate interest associated with the penalty. It’s important to remember that the IRS will continue to accrue interest until your tax bill is paid in full.

My life was over….Well let me start from the disaster. The state refused to work with my small restaurant business to get on a payment plan. They froze my accounts, seized all my money and property and finally closed my doors. I had no idea what to do. It was literally over. This restaurant is my life. It supports my family and community. Then I answered the phone one day randomly. Daniel has become my life saver. Although I didn’t need to use their services, Dan still talked to me and became a really good friend. This company will go above and beyond for you even if you don’t work with them! Daniel sat on calls with me for hours and days just listening to me cry. We talked and worked thru some things and with his help I gained the confidence to dig myself out of this hole. We finally re opened and we are going strong again! He’s a lifelong friend and I would highly recommend this company for any tax needs! These are the real ones here.

When you answer the phone but didn’t want to and it turns out being the call you’ve needed for longer than you’re sure you’ve needed help. Not only did I get answers to questions I didn’t know who to ask, I found a friend who really cared enough to listen, ask real questions and even more than some of my own family members really cared. I got information and understanding as well as a new friend and so thankful. It came when everything seemed the darkest and hardest in a really long time. Thank you Dan for being more than anyone would ask of you and for your kindness.
