Penalty Abatement
Tax penalties can cast a long shadow on your financial peace. At Tax Resolution Services of Hawaii, we invite you to step into the sun with our Penalty Abatement service, a solution to help you reduce or eliminate federal tax penalties.
Understanding Penalty Abatement (PA)
Penalty Abatement is a provision by the IRS that offers relief from certain penalties accrued due to late filing, late payment, or failure to deposit taxes. Some of the penalties eligible for abatement include:
- Failure to File
- Failure to Pay when the tax shown on the return is not paid by the due date1.
Why Seek PA?
If unforeseen circumstances have led you to miss tax deadlines, PA could be your lei of financial relief. It’s designed for those who have made an earnest effort to meet their tax obligations but were hindered by situations beyond their control.
How to Request PA
To request PA, you would typically fill out Form 843, Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement, detailing your case for relief. This form can also be used to claim a refund or request an abatement of certain overpaid or over-assessed taxes, interests, penalties, and additions to tax.
