Question

Blanche Creek has engaged your firm because she has been charged with failure to file her 2013 Federal Form 1040. Blanche maintains that the “reasonable cause” exception should apply. During the entire tax filing season in 2014, she was under a great deal of stress at work and in her personal life. As a result, Blanche developed a sleep disorder, which was treated through the combination of pills and counseling. Your firm ultimately prepared the 2013 tax return, but it was filed far beyond the due date. Blanche is willing to pay the delinquent tax and related interest. However, she believes that the failure to pay penalty is unfair, as she was ill. Consequently, she could not be expected to keep to the usual declines for filing. Write a latter to blanche concerning these matters.

He can get exemption under Reasonable cause if sufficient proofs he can provide to the officer.
