IRS Penalty Abatement

Have you Received an IRS Penalty Notice?

If you received an IRS penalty notice, you are not alone. In fact, millions of other hard working Americans just like yourself receive these notices each and every year. Fortunately, you have the power to respond to the IRS and explain why the proposed penalties should be abated or removed.

IRS Penalty Inflation

There was a time when IRS penalties were not so complicated. Back In 1955 there were a total of 14 penalties that the IRS could impose. Nowadays, the tax code is so complex that the number has risen to more than 140. With so much opportunity for the IRS to claim you made a mistake, it is easy to get caught in their web of penalties.

IRS Penalties and Computers

Just incase increasing the number of penalties isn't bad enough; the IRS decided to add to the situation by computerizing their penalty notices. That's right, a computer algorithm decides if a penalty should be imposed and then it automatically sends you a notice.
