Taxpayers have reasonable cause when their conduct justifies the non-assertion or abatement of a penalty. Each case must be judged individually based on the facts and circumstances at hand.
Sound reasons, if established, include: Fire, casualty, natural disaster or other disturbances. Inability to obtain records. Death, serious illness, incapacitation or unavoidable absence of the taxpayer or a member of the taxpayer's immediate family.
Time Abatement can be requested verbally or in writing. You may file FTB 2918 or call 8006894776 to request that we cancel a penalty based on onetime abatement.
Waiver letters are usually brief and limited to two or three paragraphs. Stick to the facts. Don't exaggerate the reasons why you require the waiver or dramatize your situation. Include evidence that supports your reasons for requesting a waiver such as names, dates or anything else that backs up what you say.
