How to fight back against IRS penalties

March 7, 2018

Thinking of taking on the IRS over a penalty they say you have to pay?

Maybe you’re intimidated and feel a bit like David did when he went up against Goliath.

But take heart. Thanks to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals and the Tax Court, you now have a brand new weapon that can help you win your battle.

Want to learn how to use it and possibly get even prior penalties full abated?

Easy. Read my new article titled Tax Tips: New Court-Approved Way to Defeat IRS Penalties!

Three ways our fact-filled article can help you:

  1. We’ll explain the power of Code Section 6751(b). This little-known section of the Internal Revenue Code can get you out of a penalty even if you’re liable for it under the law. Who can use this section of the code as a penalty escape hatch? Very possibly you as you’ll discover when you read the full article.
  2. You’ll learn how Section 6751(b) can come to your rescue. The law says that Uncle Sam can’t assess a penalty unless an IRS supervisor (or higher-level official) personally okays the penalty determination in writing. If the IRS doesn’t follow this procedure, you won’t have to pay a penny. You’ll get all the details when you read the full article.
  3. We’ll show you how to contest a penalty. There are three main ways to request abatement of a penalty using the 6751(b) argument. You can go to the United States Tax Court, head to a Collection Due Process hearing, or file Form 843. What’s the right way for you to go? You’ll find out when you read the new after-tax-reform article.
