Penalty Abatement
The IRS has the power to assess a wide variety of penalties on taxpayers who fail to file or properly pay their taxes. These penalties can quickly add up to be hundreds or thousands of dollars, making it difficult for taxpayers to pay the money that they owe.
Types of IRS penalties
The IRS can penalize taxpayers in many scenarios, including:
- Failure to file
- Failure to pay
- Inaccurate returns
- Failure to deposit employment taxes
- Underpayment of estimated tax
- Dishonored checks
These penalties are often assessed as a percentage of the taxes owed. For example, failing to file your taxes incurs a penalty of 5% of your unpaid tax bill for each month that your return is late. Additionally, you have to pay interest on the penalties that accrue.
Penalty abatement
The IRS implements these penalties to keep the tax system fair and effective. Without sanctions for not paying your taxes properly, people could easily skip paying the money that they owe. The IRS also understands that many taxpayers who fail to file their taxes or fail to pay them do so unintentionally and offer ways to avoid penalties or get penalties removed.
For example, people who have been penalized for the first time can get their penalties rescinded. You can also apply for penalty abatement due to reasonable causes that made paying or filing your taxes difficult or impossible, such as a death or serious illness in your family.
