Product not yet rated

image


The IRS applies tax penalties automatically whenever certain issues arise, such as underpayment or a late filing. In 2022, the IRS assessed over $73 billion in penalties. Even taxpayers who “do not have a tax problem” have probably been charged penalties. Penalty abatement is one of the most sought-after services when taxpayers go looking for help. This program will cover how tax penalty abatement works for both the automatic first-time abatement and reasonable cause abatement, how to put together these requests and how to charge for this value-added service.

 

Objectives

  • Describe the first-time abatement program and when it applies.
  • Illustrate reasonable cause for avoidance of penalties.
  • Explain how to put together a reasonable cause request for abatement.
