A formal request to the IRS to remove or reduce penalties associated with failure to file, failure to pay, or failure to deposit taxes
Penalty Abatement is a formal request submitted to the IRS to remove or reduce penalties. It does not eliminate the tax debt itself, but it can significantly lower the total amount owed by removing interest and penalty fees.
Medical conditions that prevented you from filing or paying taxes on time
Events like hurricanes, floods, or fires that disrupted your ability to comply
Unforeseen financial difficulties that made compliance impossible
Note: There are three types of IRS penalty relief: First-Time Penalty Abatement (FTA), Reasonable Cause Relief, and Statutory Exception. Each has specific eligibility requirements.

Situations like serious illness, natural disaster, or financial hardship that were beyond your control and prevented timely compliance with tax obligations.
Yes, depending on the type of relief. Reasonable cause relief can be applied multiple times if circumstances warrant it.
