What IRS Tax Penalty Relief Options Are Available?

The IRS offers three different types of tax penalty relief, including:

  • First-time penalty abatement: If this is the only penalty that has been imposed on you for the last three years, you may qualify for this type of relief.
  • Reasonable cause: If you missed the deadline due to a natural disaster, death, serious illness, or another sound reason, you may qualify for this relief.
  • Statutory exception: If you were penalized after following incorrect information provided by the IRS, you may qualify for this type of penalty relief.

It’s important to work with an attorney to obtain tax penalty relief to ensure you can reach the best possible outcome in your case. Benner Law can negotiate directly with the IRS on your behalf to secure the relief you need to move forward.

What Massachusetts Tax Penalty Relief Options Are Available?

The Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR) can impose penalties on any taxpayer that fails to fulfill their tax obligations. These penalties can be reduced or eliminated, however you cannot get rid of the interest on these penalties.

In general, the DOR may reduce or waive a tax penalty if you can prove that missing the tax deadline or failing to pay was due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. For example, if you were suffering from a serious illness at the time your taxes were due, the DOR may waive your tax penalty. In this case, it is clear that you missed the deadline as a result of your illness, not willful neglect.

Benner Law knows what it takes to prove to the DOR that your failure to meet the state’s tax deadlines was due to reasonable cause. Let us communicate with the DOR on your behalf to minimize the penalties that you face so you can close this chapter of your life.
