What Is A Fresh Start program
The IRS created the Fresh Start program in order to help people who unintentionally break tax laws. Non-serial offenders policies by the IRS are flexible rules that could be the best solution for anyone who is eligible.
All of these cases require that the feds consider your unique facts and circumstances, including income, ability to pay and equity.
Penalty Abatement refers to the IRS's term for reducing or wiping out a penalty. Penalty Abatement is a type of tax relief called Fresh Start.

A local IRS office cannot grant Penalty Abatements of more than $100. The Penalty Abatement request is free.
