Currently, there is a $100,000 penalty that may be imposed for each year that a 2 page form was not filed timely for individuals who have some retirement plans. Individuals who own small corporations may suffer up to $300,000 in fines each year, and the fines are multiplied for each amendment to the returns, and there is no recourse or means of appealing these penalties or fines for these individuals. This bill would allow individual taxpayers to seek relief from these harsh penalties that take away from retirement plans. This bill corrects the unfairness of outsized penalties on victims, who have no recourse at all in the entire tax system. The bill needs to pass to provide relief to the victims of professional negligence and fraud commited by professional administrators of retirement plans.... 44254@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 29 Sep 2008 22:10:46 EDT
