Relief from a Tax Penalty You May Not Have Even Known About!

Did you know that small businesses that fail to file their annual retirement plan returns can face hefty fines of up to $15,000 per return? Fortunately, the Internal Revenue Service recognizes that some businesses may not even realize that this requirement applies to them. As a result, a tax penalty relief program allows them to pay $500 per return for late filings, up to a maximum of $1,500. The shelter aims at small businesses whose plans cover a 100% owner or partners in a business partnership, and their spouses. The U.S. Department of Labor also has a relief program for companies that have employees.
