We Can Save You Thousands On Tax Penalties
The IRS typically charges penalties to taxpayers when they file or pay their taxes late. Separate Penalties can be assessed for "failure to file" and "failure to pay". On top of this the IRS also charges interest on unpaid tax debts and unpaid tax penalties. IRS penalties and interest can quickly turn a reasonable tax debt into something completely unaffordable and financially burdensome.
When the IRS assesses tax penalties to a taxpayer's account, those Penalties are added automatically by the IRS computer systems. Because of this, IRS tax penalties are commonly added to a debt without taking the individual circumstances involved into account. A taxpayer may not have to pay all of the tax penalties to the IRS if they had a good reason for falling behind in the first place. In fact, taxpayers often do not end up owing any tax penalties at all in cases where the penalties were assessed unfairly. Unfortunately, when it comes to IRS Tax Penalties, you are assumed guilty until you make contact with the IRS and prove to them that you should not have to pay. In order to avoid having to pay IRS Tax Penalties on your debt, or to have them refunded back to you, you need to prepare a Penalty Abatement Request.
Even if you had an acceptable reason for not paying your taxes on time, it is often impossible to get tax penalties removed without professional help.
Washington Tax Services specializes in helping small businesses and individual taxpayers get their IRS tax penalties removed from their tax debt. If the tax debt and penalties have already been paid we can even help taxpayers get these penalties refunded back to them. In order to do this, we will show the IRS in their own terms and according to their own rules that the taxpayer had "reasonable cause" for not paying the taxes and that they have shown "due diligence" and "no neglect" in their attempts to repay the debt.
