Penalty Abatement

Our client, a retired doctor, failed to file tax returns for many years due to suffering from dementia. Our client’s son contacted us to help. We were able to prepare all the past due tax returns for our client and requested the irs abate the late-filing penalties due to “reasonable cause” for not filing on time. As a result, our client received a full abatement of penalties and a refund of $17,965.
