Salt Lake City CPA – Abatement IRS Penalties
The IRS has software titled Reasonable Cause Assistant (RCA) which is used by them for failure to file, failure to pay and failure to deposit penalty abatement requests.  Apparently the IRS’s over-reliance on its RCA leads to inaccurate penalty abatement determinations.  A 2010 usability test shows that IRS employees using the RCA determined penalty abatement requests correctly in only 45% of the cases! The result is that the RCA is not supplementing human judgement as intended – it is supplanting it.  Without proper training and safeguards to ensure IRS employees arrive at appropriate abatement decisions using the RCA, the IRS continues to unecessarily harm taxpayers and create more re-work for itself.
In other words folks if you have a penalty abatement request denied, try again! Â Chances are (a 55% chance) that their decision is wrong. Â If you need penalty relief help, come see us. (Salt Lake City CPA – Abatement IRS Penalties)
