* You sent a written request to the Service Center asking the IRS to remove the penalty
* The Service denied your request to remove the penalty (penalty abatement)

PENALTY APPEAL
My request to remove a Penalty was rejected.
Should I request an appeal?
Appeals may remove (abate) your penalty(s) for any of the following reasons:
Reasonable Cause: This is relief that is generally granted when a taxpayer exercises ordinary business care and prudence in determining their tax obligation, but is unable to comply with those obligations due to circumstance beyond their control.
Statutory Exceptions: The tax law provides for specific exceptions.
Administrative Waiver: This may occur as result of a formal government directive providing penalty relief because of a natural disaster or catastrophic event.
The two most common penalties (Failure to File and Failure to Pay) considered in Appeals are addressed in this tool. If you want assistance in deciding whether to request an appeal for a penalty, then please proceed.
If you do not want to use the self-help tool, you may find the summary of general information helpful before deciding to file your request for an appeal.
