IRS Penalty Abatement – reduce or eliminate costly irs penalties
IRS penalties can quickly add thousands of dollars to your balance, making it harder to move forward. Fortunately, many taxpayers may qualify for Penalty Abatement, an IRS relief option that can reduce, or in some cases remove, penalties when specific criteria are met.
At In-Sync Accounting & Consulting, we know how to build a strong case for penalty relief so you can keep more money in your pocket.
WHAT IS PENALTY ABATEMENT?
Penalty Abatement is the IRS’s process for granting relief from penalties when a taxpayer can demonstrate reasonable cause or meets specific eligibility requirements. Each request is reviewed individually & must be properly supported.
When reviewing a Penalty Abatement request, the IRS typically considers:
- First-Time Penalty Relief – A strong compliance history with no prior penalties
- Reasonable Cause – Events such as illness, natural disasters, live events, or circumstances beyond your control
- Statutory Exceptions – Administrative waivers available in limited situations
Building a successful penalty abatement request requires more than submitting a form, it requires documentation, timing, and a clear explanation that aligns with IRS guidelines. We help present your case in the strongest possible light.
You may be eligible for penalty abatement if:
- You’ve maintained compliance in prior tax years
- You experienced circumstances beyond your control
- You’ve corrected the issue and are now compliant
Eligibility and results depend on individual circumstances and IRS review.
