Your client receives a bill from the IRS after failing to pay his taxes in full on time. IRS penalties and interests increase the bill every day. Taxpayers are liable for the additional penalties and interests on the entire outstanding amount even if they have qualified for a tax debt payment plan and have started to make payments. These penalties can add as much as an additional 25% to a taxpayer’s IRS bill.

While some of the charges are added automatically by IRS computers, others are imposed by IRS personnel when they have determined the client violated a tax code provision. The IRS asserts millions of dollars of penalties against taxpayers daily and it assumes taxpayers have accepted them unless they respond correctly.

Not all is lost, though. Using some effective abatement techniques, you can help your clients easily recover the substantial money they have lost due to penalties and the interest charges on those penalties. Reasonable cause is the key to success in cancelling penalties and interest charges from the IRS. However, it is important for you to know which of the penalties and charges may be waived, and how you can get them waived.

Participants will understand: 

  • The rules on waiving penalties and interest
    • Fraud penalties
    • Accuracy related penalties
    • Failure to file penalties
    • Failure to pay penalties
    • Understatement of valuations
    • And more!
  • Avoiding the understatement of tax penalty
  • The forms and procedures for requesting relief
  • Requirements and procedures for First Time Abatement
  • The factors for Reasonable Cause Abatement
  • The procedure for requesting a refund of paid penalties
  • How an individual taxpayer qualifies for Reasonable Cause abatement
  • Administrative options
