Tullberry Tax Resolution

Penalty relief

A penalty is not always final. We look at the record, the dates and the reason it happened.

Plain answers, first

See whether a penalty can be challenged.

Filing late generally costs 5% of unpaid tax for each month, up to 25%. Paying late generally costs 0.5% per month, up to 25%.

If your record was clean for the three prior years, first-time penalty relief can often remove a penalty on request.

Illness, a death in the family or a disaster can support a reasonable-cause request when the facts and records fit.

Interest usually cannot be removed, even when a penalty can.

What it costs

Penalty relief requests are $400 per tax year. See all flat fees.
