Penalty Abatement

You may already know that a small delinquent tax debt can compound into an unmanageable amount within a short period of time. The reason is because of Penalties and Interest. Penalty Abatement (or Reduction) is one of the key services we provide and also one of the key factors toward helping you to get your tax debt resolved in as short a period as possible.

To get penalties abated or eliminated, you will have to show that you had a good reason for not paying your taxes. Common reasons include:

Death of a family member
Serious health problem
Bad or erroneous financial advice
Flood, hurricane, fire or other natural disaster
Theft of funds, including embezzlement
Lost or destroyed records
Divorce that caused extreme stress and deteriorated your financial condition
Unemployed for an extended period of time
On a fixed income or retired
Caring for another person and the financial strain this is placing on you

There are an infinite number of reasons, of course. But these are the most common.

Your application for a Penalty Abatement will be reviewed by a Revenue Officer and it is entirely up to the discretion of this Officer to make the final decision. For this reason, it is critically important that you present a well-prepared and well-documented application package. Our Tax Professionals are experts at preparing application packages that look professional and well-thought out.
