IRS Penalty Abatement: Remove Failure-to-File and Failure-to-Pay Penalties
Eliminate IRS penalties through First-Time Abatement or Reasonable Cause relief, often cutting your balance by 25 percent or more.
IRS penalties compound your tax debt quickly. We secure First-Time Abatement (FTA) for qualifying taxpayers and prepare Reasonable Cause requests supported by documentary evidence for larger or repeat penalty situations.
First-Time Abatement is often granted the same day by phone. Reasonable Cause abatement takes 60 to 120 days.
Flat $495 for First-Time Abatement. $1,295 for Reasonable Cause packages with supporting documentation.
Full abatement of failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties, plus associated interest on the abated penalties.
Eligibility Requirements
- Filed all required returns or filed a valid extension
- Paid, or arranged to pay, any tax due (for FTA)
- No penalties assessed in the prior three tax years (for FTA)
- Documented reasonable cause: illness, disaster, records loss, professional advice failure (for Reasonable Cause)
Our 5-Step Process
Here is exactly how Gullia Filing handles your IRS Penalty Abatement case, from intake to resolution.
Penalty audit and account transcript review
We identify every abatable penalty on your account, including failure-to-file, failure-to-pay, failure-to-deposit, and accuracy-related penalties.
First-Time Abatement request
For qualifying taxpayers, we request FTA by phone with the IRS Practitioner Priority Service, often obtaining same-day relief.
Reasonable Cause statement
For non-FTA cases, we draft a Reasonable Cause letter with supporting documentation such as medical records, disaster declarations, or reliance on professional advice.
Form 843 filing when required
When abatement cannot be granted by phone, we file Form 843 with a complete penalty schedule and evidentiary package.
Refund pursuit on paid penalties
When you have already paid the penalties, we file a claim for refund within the two-year statute of limitations.
