There are well over 100 different tax penalties that can be assessed by the IRS. If you have been assessed with a tax penalty by the IRS, we may be able to help you reduce or eliminate the penalty. A taxpayer can request and receive an abatement.

What does an abatement mean?

Abated means to completely or partially remove or forgive the penalty. In many cases, the IRS will remove 100% of the penalty if the taxpayer can provide a good reason for failing to take the actions giving rise to the penalty.

The IRS procedures for deciding who qualifies for penalty abatement and for what reason seem to differ in each case. So, it is important to have an experienced attorney.

The Perliski Law Group will interview you in detail to determine the facts and circumstances giving rise to the penalty. We will then prepare and file with the IRS a Request for Abatement, citing recent or past court cases supporting a positive outcome for those in a similar position to you.

In many cases, the initial response of the IRS will be negative and your case will ultimately be settled at the Appellate level of the IRS. Therefore, its important to work with an experienced law firm that devotes a major portion of its time to handling tax controversies with the IRS.
