Description

Tax-specific deadlines are missed for various reasons. Missed tax-specific deadlines can lead to lost legal rights, forfeited tax benefits, hefty penalties, interest, and malpractice claims. Fortunately, statutory, regulatory, and/or administrative relief exists for many missed tax deadlines.

Taxpayers have various options to cure missed deadlines, including but not limited to: section 9100 relief and obtaining a private letter ruling; relief for late-filed tax returns, late-payments of tax, and late-filed claims for credits or refunds; audit reconsideration; equitable tolling; offers in compromise on the ground of doubt as to liability; correcting late-rollovers to qualified retirement plans; and broad relief available in collection due process cases. These strategies can mitigate the otherwise devastating consequences of missed elections, deadlines, and claims.

Listen as our panel of federal tax experts reviews methods available to obtain relief for many commonly missed tax-specific elections, deadlines, and claim selections.
