IRS PENALTIES
Your IRS debt can grow quickly as interest and penalties are added to the amount owed.
Penalty Abatement is based on your claim that circumstances beyond your control led to your IRS debt. The IRS requires tax payers to establish (reasonable cause) exists. Give us a call today to figure out what (reasonable cause) means and if this is applicable to your situation.
Some of the possible reasons for not paying your tax debt are:
- Serious Illness, Death, or Unavoidable Absence
- Unable to Obtain Records
- Incorrect Advice from a competent tax professional
- Incorrect advice directly from the IRS, written or oral
- Fire, Casualty, Natural Disaster, Other Disturbance
Your Levy and Associates expert will meet with you to discuss the details of your situation. We will help you gather the necessary receipts, documents and forms to assemble a Penalty Abatement Request.
How Do We Plan Properly As To Not Incur Penalites?

Ways to Prepare for Filing Your Taxes
Begin to gather all of your tax preparation data as early as possible. Call your tax professional to schedule a time to discuss your tax preparation needs as early as possible. the more organized you are, the less stressful the tax preparation process will be for both you and your tax professional.
Why Would the IRS Freeze a Bank Account?
When it comes to payment of taxes due by taxpayers, the IRS is very stringent with regards to getting payment in on time. However, there are people who are unable to pay their taxes on time for one reason or another or who simply neglect to make payment.
What Are the Penalties For Not Filing Your Taxes?
In the beginning of every year everyone is expected to file his or her taxes. If you do not file, you will have to deal with varied consequences. First, you will be penalized for late filing and or late paying of the tax. If you owe taxes and cannot afford to pay it is much better to work proactively to resolve the matter as opposed to burying your head in the sand and ignoring it.
Despite discouraging stereotypes, the IRS does have options that exist to resolve your tax problems. April 15th is typically the filing deadline and the payment deadline for most taxes (individually). It is important to note that filing an extension extends the period of time to file your tax returns, but not to pay. Individual income taxes are typically due April 15th of each year.
Again, if you’re struggling to pay the amount you owe, you need to discuss this with a professional that can navigate you through the sometimes murky waters of the IRS and or state taxing authorities.
What Are the Most Commo Penalties?
