What is First Time Penalty Abatement?
Abatement refers to the reduction or elimination of IRS penalties, providing significant relief to taxpayers. First Time Penalty Abatement is a program offered by the IRS that allows eligible taxpayers to reduce or eliminate certain tax penalties imposed for failing to meet tax obligations, such as filing taxes on time or paying owed taxes.
This IRS tax debt relief is particularly beneficial for individuals who are facing penalties for the first time and have a clean compliance history.

Eligibility Requirements for First Time Abatement
First, you need to understand that certain penalties are eligible for the First Time Penalty Abatement program. These include late payment penalty for IRS, which incur a 0.5% monthly interest on unpaid taxes maxing out at 25%, IRS late filing penalty accruing at 5% monthly that can reach up to 25% of the unpaid amount, and the minimum late filing penalty, which applies if your return is filed more than 60 days after the due date. The following are specific eligibility requirements that must be met to qualify for this first time abatement program:
Clean Compliance History
To qualify for the FTA program, maintaining a clean compliance history for the past three years is essential. This includes not having been assessed significant penalties, such as the IRS late filing penalty or the late payment penalty obligations. The IRS views a clean compliance history as a key indicator of general compliance with tax laws, making it a crucial factor in eligibility for this one-time relief.
No Prior Penalty Abatements
This program offers a one-time relief for taxpayers facing penalties for the first time. This means that if penalty abatement has been granted previously, eligibility for this program is forfeited. The IRS ensures that penalty relief through this program is reserved for those who have not benefited from it before, reinforcing the importance of maintaining compliance after receiving relief. If a taxpayer has already received an IRS abatement for any penalties in the past, they cannot apply for First Time Penalty Abatement again.
Current on Filing and Payment Requirements
To request a tax abatement, it is essential to be current on all required tax filings and payments. This includes having submitted all necessary tax returns and ensuring that any taxes owed are fully paid or managed under an approved payment plan. The IRS requires that there be no outstanding tax obligation not in a resolution or unfiled returns when considering an abatement request. Although we do prepare and file tax returns, our expertise is focused in defending you when a claim is filed against you. Keeping good records and copies of government forms is essential, as it significantly increases the likelihood of a successful resolution with our defense strategies.
