IRS Penalties

It is possible to challenge these penalties and in many cases reduce or eliminate them.

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.

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.
