I filed a return late and now have some penalites to deal with in addition to what I owe in taxes. I'm wondering if any of you have any experience in requesting penalty removal/abatement from the IRS (yes, if you're a CPA, I am indeed asking for free advice). From what I can tell, they are granted if you can give them a reasonable explanation (and proof) for why you didn't file or pay on time. I'm just curious about the best tack to take with this, and also wondering if you have a better chance at receiving it if you have an attorney or accountant write your request.
