Do I Need an IRS Attorney in Mesa AZ to get my IRS Penalties Reduced?

No, getting your IRS penalties reduced is not a legal matter?  When the IRS reduces your penalties it is called penalty abatement.  This can best be done by filing an appeal with the IRS Appeals Office.  Another option is with the Taxpayer Advocate Office.  It is best to have a consultation with Scott Allen E.A. (who is not a Mesa AZ IRS Tax Attorney) to validate your reasons for making a legitimate appeal or find out right up front that your appeal will be denied.  Scott may be able to come up with better reasons, that are true, that will give you the greatest chance of having your IRS penalties reduced.  Penalties can grow very quickly.  For example, the IRS will penalize you 25% of the tax due for filing just five months after the due date.

An Appeals hearing is requested by filing Form 843.  Generally speaking, Appeals Officers are much more lenient than other levels at the IRS such as collections or IRS auditors.  It is important to have some proof of your claim, so keeping paper records such as medical records is critical.  Remember, the IRS Appeals Office has heard every lame excuse.  I think these guys have lunches with traffic cops to compare excuses.

Call Scott Allen E.A. for a professional opinion regarding your request to have IRS penalties abated.  Scott can be reached at 48-926-9300 and you first appointment is a free consultation.
