Plan Sponsor/Administrator files 2018 5500-SF one year late (not under DFVC).

Ignores IRS penalty letters and IRS has now assessed a $70K penalty.

No DOL penalty assessment yet.

Can we file an amended 2018 5500 under DFVC and get IRS penalty abated or is it too late?

Many thanks.

I don't think it's too late. Check out https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/irs-penalty-relief-for-dol-dfvc-filers-of-late-annual-reports and the referenced authority (Notice 2014-35). As long as you satisfy the DOL's requirements for DFVCP the IRS should waive penalties. It may require some correspondence and/or phone calls to IRS since the client is this late into the process with IRS.
