Seeking penalty relief can save you a lot of money, but you have to request it and qualify for it.

If you have never been penalized (or at least not in the last 3 years prior) and you are otherwise compliant, the IRS may abate the penalties for one tax year no questions asked.<\/span><span style=\"font-size:11pt;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"><br><\/span><span style=\"font-size:11pt;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\">FTA most commonly applies to failure-to-file, failure-to-pay, or failure-to-deposit (payroll) penalties for a single tax period.

Sometimes referred to as \u201chardship status,\u201d this is not a reduction of your debt, but rather a temporary suspension of IRS collection efforts. If the IRS agrees that you cannot afford to pay your tax debt at all and still meet necessary living expenses, they can classify your account as currently not collectible.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\">To qualify for CNC status, you must demonstrate genuine financial hardship,typically by showing that your income is only enough to cover essential living expenses, with nothing left over for tax payments. This usually involves submitting a Collection Information Statement (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-pdf\/f433f.pdf\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;color:#1155cc;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\">Form 433-F<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size:11pt;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"> or similar), detailing your income, expenses, and assets.

The IRS has broad authority to enforce collection through a range of aggressive actions. It may begin by filing a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdavidtaxlaw.com\/services\/tax-lien\/\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;color:#1155cc;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\">federal tax lien<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size:11pt;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\">, which is a public claim against your property and affects your ability to sell or refinance assets. If the debt continues to go unpaid, the IRS can issue levies that freeze your bank accounts, garnish wages directly from your paycheck, or seize physical assets like vehicles or real estate. Income sources such as Social Security and rental payments can also be partially seized, and in some cases, your passport can be revoked if your balance exceeds a certain threshold. These enforcement tools do not typically require a court order and can be implemented swiftly after notices are ignored. The longer the debt remains unresolved, the more these consequences become likely.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"border:none;display:inline-block;overflow:hidden;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdph3-_NC6dQPrsdcSAX2IHVDENTb_7emYIi2ckJvDORYwClil-c0rjuXd1Ppjdt9u8PUNifCzU_pMttlSsmwzErlpPBqcAj2px6q5y0ujdeSaJGih7Oapup3pF0V0FFEUTa9NVSw?key=XF9t05uDI9-ZSXKneRYcFaVG\" alt=\"IRS Enforcement Actions\" style=\"margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px;\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:16pt;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2><p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-20e38e96-7fff-7c76-7167-a2f9d6f25bfe\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;\">Missing the tax day deadline is serious, but IRS relief options exist to help you fix it. Whether it\u2019s filing late, setting up a payment plan, settling for less, or getting penalties removed, you have pathways to get back in good standing.

This gives you until October 15 to file your return, but it does not extend your time to pay. If you owe taxes, interest and late-payment penalties will still accrue on any unpaid balance after April 15.
