ILLMAS Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I believe I goofed on checking off spouses second job W-2 as "spouse" and the excessive payment of medicare was applied towards the husband. Can one request a first time penalty abatement? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Failure to pay is covered but the first time penalty rules: https://www.irs.gov/irm/part20/irm_20-001-001r#idm140198826274112 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I've had really good success with the first-time penalty abatement request. Try it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwrightea Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I have also had good luck with penalty abatement request. You have nothing to lose by trying for abatement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max W Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Make sure you write "FIRST TIME ABATE" across the top of form 843. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
