    Your CPA Might Be WRONG About IRS Penalty Abatement

    Need help with IRS or state tax debt? Book a free consultation with Choice Tax Relief: https://choicetaxrelief.com/free-tax-... Is first-time penalty abatement a benefit you can use only once? I break down a CPA's claim, explain the three-year compliance-history test, and compare paying a penalty, leaving it unpaid, and having it removed through FTA. We also cover why reasonable-cause relief is different and how a penalty year eventually falls outside the lookback. The 2025–2029 examples illustrate FTA with Automatic Exemption from Penalty (AEP) set aside. The video also briefly notes the transition to AEP; eligibility depends on the return, penalty and account history. CHAPTERS 0:00 IRS penalty abatement confusion 0:53 The CPA's post 2:02 How first-time abatement works 3:10 FTA isn't once in a lifetime 4:00 The next three years: paid, unpaid or FTA 5:30 Reasonable cause and the lookback period 6:20 What happens in 2029 and later 6:45 Why tax-resolution experience matters 7:46 Free consultation IRS SOURCES IRS administrative penalty relief (FTA and AEP): https://www.irs.gov/payments/administ...
