2. We will make sure your tax returns are filed and current. If your tax returns are not up to date, IRS will refuse to work your case. This is leverage that the IRS uses to get you compliant. Lost tax records, no problem.

IRS Settlement Agreements/ Tax Debt Programs can be in different forms:
a. Hardship Settlements. Cases usually go into a 3 year suspended status because of an inability to pay. This is also called currently noncollectable. Your case will go into a hardship status because you do not have the income coming in to meet your current expenses. The IRS will use the National Standards Program to assess hardship.
b. Payment Agreements. Cases can be closed with agreed upon monthly installment payments to the IRS. We will review the different programs IRS uses to find you the lowest possible amount required.
c. Offer in Compromise /IRS Settlements / Tax Debt Settlement Programs. There are three types of OICs:
The IRS may accept an Offer in Compromise based on three grounds:
1. Doubt as to Collectibility – Doubt exists that the taxpayer could ever pay the full amount of tax liability owed within the remainder of the statutory period for collection.
2. Doubt as to Liability – A legitimate doubt exists that the assessed tax liability is correct. Possible reasons to submit a doubt as to liability offer include:
(1) the examiner made a mistake interpreting the law,
(2) the examiner failed to consider the taxpayer’s evidence or
(3) the taxpayer has new evidence.
3. Effective Tax Administration – There is no doubt that the tax is correct and there is potential to collect the full amount of the tax owed, but an exceptional circumstance exists that would allow the IRS to consider an OIC.
To be eligible for compromise on this basis, a taxpayer must demonstrate that the collection of the tax would create an economic hardship or would be unfair and inequitable.

Non-profit entities get hit with various IRS Penalties and Interest because the 990 returns were not filed.
Contact our firm to get those penalties and interest removed. We work off of a small retainer and a result accomplished.
Most of the time the non profits organizations are very good at there jobs and functions but the Boards are not comprised of accountants or any one who knows anything about 990s.
This is the case about 99% of the time. The boards are in disbelief that the IRS is after them. The members of the Board are responsible for the payment of the tax to IRS.
We are former IRS agents, Managers and Instructors who know how to get these penalties removes. We use to accept the abatement requests at the IRS. We know how to get penalties removed.
Reasons for abatement of penalties and interest that the IRS allows
Ordinary Business Care and Prudence ( most fall under this category)
- Ordinary business care and prudence includes making provisions for business obligations to be met when reasonably foreseeable events occur. A taxpayer may establish reasonable cause by providing facts and circumstances showing that they exercised ordinary business care and prudence (taking that degree of care that a reasonably prudent person would exercise), but nevertheless were unable to comply with the law.
- In determining if the taxpayer exercised ordinary business care and prudence, review available information including the following:
- Taxpayer’s Reason. The taxpayer’s reason should address the penalty imposed. To show reasonable cause, the dates and explanations should clearly correspond with events on which the penalties are based. If the dates and explanations do not correspond to the events on which the penalties are based, request additional information from the taxpayer that may clarify the explanation.
- Compliance History. Check the preceding tax years (at least three) for payment patterns and the taxpayer’s overall compliance history. The same penalty, previously assessed or abated, may indicate that the taxpayer is not exercising ordinary business care. If this is the taxpayer’s first incident of non compliant behavior, weigh this factor with other reasons the taxpayer gives for reasonable cause, since a first-time failure to comply does not by itself establish reasonable cause.
- Length of Time. Consider the length of time between the event cited as a reason for the noncompliance and subsequent compliance. Consider: (1) when the act was required by law, (2) the period of time during which the taxpayer was unable to comply with the law due to circumstances beyond the taxpayer’s control, and (3) when the taxpayer complied with the law.
- Circumstances Beyond the Taxpayer’s Control. Consider whether or not the taxpayer could have anticipated the event that caused the noncompliance. Reasonable cause is generally established when the taxpayer exercises ordinary business care and prudence, but, due to circumstances beyond the taxpayer’s control, the taxpayer was unable to timely meet the tax obligation. The taxpayer’s obligation to meet the tax law requirements is ongoing. Ordinary business care and prudence requires that the taxpayer continue to attempt to meet the requirements, even though late.
- These are other reasons IRS abates Penalties:
1.Ignorance of the Law Mistake was Made
2.Forgetfulness
3.Death, Serious Illness, or Unavoidable Absence Unable to Obtain Records
4.Undue Hardship
5.Written Advice from the IRS Oral Advice from IRS
6.Advice from a Tax Advisor
7.Fire, Casualty, Natural Disaster, or Other Disturbance
8.Official Disaster Area
9.Service Error
