New $5,000.00 Penalty for Frivolous CDP

Post by Bud Dickman »

New IRC section 6702(b) provides for a penalty of $5,000.00 if any portion of a request for a hearing under IRC sections 6320 and 6330 (CDP) is base on a “specified frivolous position”(Notice 2008-14), or reflects a desire to delay or impede the administration of federal tax laws.

The penalty will not be assessed if TP withdraws the CDP, but these guys are knuckleheads.

$5,000 is about 25 pool cleanings. The penalty seems about right.
Remember that CtC is about the rule of law.
