Penalty Relief (Form 843)

We help request removal of late fees or IRS penalties.

You made a mistake. The IRS may still say yes.

Filed late? Paid late? Missed a form you didn't even know you needed? Don't panic—if this is your first offense or you had a reasonable excuse, the IRS may waive certain penalties through a formal request process. At Nuvex, we help you submit a clear, strategic Form 843 request to reduce or eliminate late-filing, late-payment, or underpayment penalties—so you can move forward with peace of mind.

Our Service includes but is not limited to:

  • Review of IRS penalty notices (e.g., CP14, CP161, CP504, etc.)

  • Transcript pull to confirm penalty amounts and timeline

  • Evaluation of eligibility for:

  • First-Time Penalty Abatement (FTA)

  • Reasonable Cause Relief (e.g., illness, disaster, record issues)

  • Drafting and filing of Form 843: Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement

  • Strong written justification letter tailored to your case

  • Optional follow-up with IRS practitioner hotline if needed

  • Coordination with amendment or payment plan filings (if part of larger resolution)

  • Final delivery of result summary + next steps
