Tax Penalty Abatement

Tax penalties most frequently arise from not filing or not paying.

The most common IRS penalty relief program used is called "Reasonable Cause". The Internal Revenue Manual gives the following "definition":

"Reasonable cause relief is generally granted when the taxpayer exercises ordinary business care and prudence in determining their tax obligations but is unable to comply with those obligations."

Essentially, this means something beyond the control of the taxpayer has occurred that has caused you not to file or pay your taxes timely. It also must be demonstrated that you (the taxpayer) took reasonable steps to "counter" the events and were still unable to pay and or file timely.
