When the IRS denies your penalty abatement request, it can feel like you’ve hit a wall but denial doesn’t mean defeat. The next step is crucial. Contact Steve Perry EA today at (678) 717-9818 or email steve@bookstaxesatl.com to find out how he can help you appeal and reclaim your peace of mind.
A denied IRS penalty abatement can happen for many reasons including missing evidence, unclear reasoning, or simply an IRS agent who didn’t fully review the facts. Yet, taxpayers have the right to appeal the denial through the IRS Office of Appeals and that’s where expert representation matters most.
Why the IRS Denies Penalty Abatement Requests
The IRS typically denies penalty abatement when taxpayers
- Fail to clearly show reasonable cause such as illness, disaster, or reliance on a professional
- Don’t provide adequate documentation
- Miss the appeal window or don’t file correctly
- Have a history of repeated noncompliance
Each of these issues can be fixed with a well-drafted appeal if you know how to present your case effectively.
