IRS Penalty Abatement

If at first you don’t succeed, at least try one more time: IRS Penalty Abatement

Scott Allen EA will be the first to admit that IRS penalty abatement isn’t for everyone.  If the IRS did not issue penalties then no one would file or pay timely. With that being said if Scott Allen EA determines are are a viable candidate he will fight for you.  This is what he did for a recent client on a large tax bill on the 2013 tax return.  The penalty for filing your taxes late is 5% a month up to five month or 25%.  This becomes a rather large number especially when you tax bill is over $350,000.

These taxpayers were under the assumption that a tax extension had been prepared and filed by their CPA, and that the taxes were filed within the extension deadline of Oct 15, 2014.  Long story short it become known to the taxpayers later on that the ball was dropped and a 25% (or $77,710.27) penalty was assessed.  Scott felt a success could be had with this case and that there was a viable shot at getting the $77,710.27 late filing penalty removed.  Worst case scenario is they deny us; which they did actually back in February 2016.  Scott applied again using form 843 and this time was successful.  About two years past the deadline and five hours of work was worth about $$77,710.27.  By viewing the IRS account transcript below you can see the IRS removed the late filing penalty April 2016.  There is still a large debt to be paid but today its a little bit lighter.  Scott Allen EA was also able to negotiate that debt into a reasonable payment plan for the taxpayers.  Mission accomplished.

The average amount of penalties on IRS tax returns we see ranges from 25% to 100% of the taxes owed.  That is a huge price to pay to get rid of your Phoenix AZ IRS debt and penalties.  The IRS is more likely to reduce penalties if you have the ability to pay off the tax liability in full.  Some of the more common reason accepted for Phoenix AZ IRS penalty abatement are:
  • Loss of records due to weather (i.e. hurricane) or theft.
  • Death of a loved one.
  • A divorce where records were destroyed or not made available by the other spouse.
  • A major illness that made it impossible for you to file.
  • Improper counsel from your tax preparer.
  • Unemployment.
This is only a sample of reasons that the IRS will consider for penalty abatement in Phoenix AZ.  In each case you will have to prove that these factors caused you to not have control over the filing and paying of taxes. If you have a good track record of filing and full paying on time, then the IRS is more likely to positively consider your petition to eliminate Phoenix AZ IRS tax penalties.  Your request to eliminate penalties is made with IRS Form 843.  Consider scheduling a free initial consultation with Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors.  Scott has the expertise to advise you on your request to have a successful abatement of Phoenix AZ IRS penalties.  Call for an appointment at 480-926-9300.
