A restaurant in Robbinsdale, MN hired Timberline to negotiate an abatement of Civil Penalties stemming from discrepancies between information submitted to the Social Security Administration and filings with the Internal Revenue Service. The Enrolled Agent assigned to the case was able to demonstrate that returns were filed timely and accurately, meaning the Civil Penalties should have never been assessed. After reviewing the documents submitted, it was determined that $9,900.00 in penalties assessed against the business were assessed in error. The Enrolled Agent successfully negotiated an abatement of $9,900.00 in penalties, leaving the taxpayer with no balances owed to the Internal Revenue Service!
