There are a lot of false promises being made to consumers by representatives concerning the removal of interest and penalties. Many people use that as a way to justify paying representation fees. They might think if you can save them $20,000 of interest and penalties, they will gladly pay you $2,000. Unfortunately, interest is hardly ever waved, and penalties are not waved nearly as often as people are led to believe. Removing penalties on your first late personal tax return form 1040 should be easy, it's pretty much a given. After you pay the liability you can call and request a penalty removal. Just tell them that you forgot to file on time, or thought that you did. Or you could fill out form 843 claim for refund. I would still try to prove reasonable cause and not willful negligence was the reason. You may use form 843 for any years of personal returns, or other returns that you want to claim a penalty abatement for.

Interest is charged when there is a balance due. When a tax liability is reduced or abated, the corresponding interest will be too. When a penalty is abated, the interest on that penalty must be abated too. Interest can be abated if it can be shown that it is attributable in whole or in part to an unreasonable error or delay by an officer or employee of the IRS. If you want to request relief of interest charged due to an error or delay I encourage you to do so. I have never attempted to do this given the IRS posture in defending these claims. It is hard for an honest practitioner to justify charging the fees necessary to defend this, given the odds against it. You of course can try this on your own. I would look further into how cases are settled and what the taxpayer advocate has to say about it. A lot of research will be necessary. You can always appeal a decision against you if the facts are in your favor.

Some ways to reduce your tax liability in general are as following. Pull your record of account and make sure the IRS has recorded your payments. Make sure if they removed any penalties they took off the related interest. Make sure you file original returns for any years that they filed a SFR (substitute for return). Make sure you file original reports for any payroll report, under code 6020b that the IRS filed. Amend any returns that you think are not correct. Submit proof with the return and your copy of new return and the amended version. Do not be afraid of an audit by doing this. Submitting your documentation will prove your case, so they will see little chance in auditing you. Apply for penalty abatements according to the instructions in this site.
