Tax Law Offices Reduces $100,000 IRS Penalty to $1000

Tax Law Offices recently had a client with a six-figure corporate penalty, and we were able to get a fantastic result for them. Keep reading to hear the whole story.

This case was actually referred to us by a fellow attorney. He knew our firm and reputation and trusted our team to take care of one of his corporate clients.

Unfortunately, IRS was being very aggressive in their collection tactics. This is common when penalties are over $100,000. In those cases, IRS uses their “large dollar” collection procedures.

We immediately took on the matter and assigned it to our senior case analyst Shavonne Taylor. Shavonne is great at attention to detail in complicated cases and was able to assist our attorneys in determining what led to this penalty.

As it turns out, it was a clerical mistake on the tax return. This simple mistake had huge consequences for our client.

Finding the problem was the first step, but we also had to create a legal argument to the IRS about why the penalty should be removed.

Now, this six-figure penalty didn’t completely get removed, but it was reduced to less than $1000. That is a HUGE win for our client!

This shows how important it is to have an experienced legal team.
