Penalty Abatement
Remove IRS Penalties
When reasonable cause applies, penalties added to your tax debt can often be removed.
How Penalty Abatement Works
From review to relief.
Penalty Audit
We identify which penalties were assessed and why.
Reasonable Cause
We gather the facts — illness, error, or first-time filing — that support relief.
File the Request
We submit the abatement request with supporting documentation.
Follow Through
We track the response and appeal if the request is denied.
Common Questions
What does a tax debt resolution firm actually do? ▼
We act as your representative with the IRS and state agencies. That means preparing the right paperwork, negotiating payment or settlement terms, and handling correspondence so you are not navigating the process alone.
Who leads TaxWorx? ▼
TaxWorx is led by Michael D. Dunlap, CPA and CTRS (Certified Tax Resolution Specialist) with more than 40 years in public accounting and tax resolution work.
What is an Offer in Compromise? ▼
An Offer in Compromise lets you settle a tax debt with the IRS for less than the full amount owed, but only when your finances show you cannot pay the balance in full. We review eligibility before filing.
Will the IRS stop calling while you represent me? ▼
Once representation is in place, IRS communications are directed to us. You stay informed, but the day-to-day back-and-forth with the agency goes through your representative.
Do you help with state tax debt too? ▼
Yes. In addition to IRS matters, we work with Texas state tax issues and coordinate both so the plan covers your full situation.
