Penalty Abatement Services | Alta Tax Relief
Have IRS penalties added thousands to your tax bill? You may qualify for penalty abatement, a relief option offered by the IRS and many state tax agencies to reduce or remove certain penalties. At ALTA Tax Relief, we help individuals and businesses request abatement based on IRS rules—saving money and reducing stress.
What Is Penalty Abatement?
Penalty abatement is the removal or reduction of penalties assessed on your tax account, typically due to late filing, late payment, or failure to deposit payroll taxes. While the IRS provides abatement options, not everyone qualifies automatically.
There are two main types of IRS penalty relief:
-
Reasonable Cause Abatement – Granted when you can prove extraordinary circumstances (e.g., illness, natural disaster, or death in the family) that prevented compliance.
-
First-Time Penalty Abatement (FTA) – Available to qualifying taxpayers who have a clean compliance history and have filed all required returns.
Note: Interest abatement is generally not available unless the interest was due to an IRS error.
