Hi, I received a CP283 notice from the IRS for my 5500EZ plan for late filling. I talked to the IRS employee and she said that I was not eligible for the DFVCP program because the fine has been assessed already. She mentioned to send a letter requesting an abatement. Do you have any experience with this process? Does the IRS provide any relief like lowering the fees to a more reasonable amount? Does hiring a tax lawyer an option or they do not influence much in the process?
