(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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Penalties can grow very quickly.\u00a0 For example, the IRS will penalize you 25% of the tax due for filing just five months after the due date.<\/p>\n<p>An Appeals hearing is requested by filing Form 843. \u00a0Generally speaking, Appeals Officers are much more lenient than other levels at the IRS such as collections or IRS auditors.\u00a0 It is important to have some proof of your claim, so keeping paper records such as medical records is critical.\u00a0 Remember, the IRS Appeals Office has heard every lame excuse.\u00a0 I think these guys have lunches with traffic cops to compare excuses.<\/p>\n<p>Call Scott Allen E.A. for a professional opinion regarding your request to have IRS penalties abated.\u00a0 Scott can be reached at 48-926-9300 and you first appointment is a free consultation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, getting your IRS penalties reduced is not a legal matter?\u00a0 When the IRS reduces your penalties it is called penalty abatement.\u00a0 This can best be done by filing an appeal with the IRS Appeals Office.\u00a0 Another option is with the Taxpayer Advocate Office.\u00a0 It is best to have a consultation with Scott Allen E.A.
