In my opinion, you have a great opportunity to utilize the services of the Office of <a href="http://www.getirshelp.com/irsblog/?p=37" rel="nofollow">Taxpayer Advocate</a>. You can learn more by going to the IRS website at http://irs.gov and looking up the Local Taxpayer Advocate for your state. They should be able to help you free of charge. The real problem here is that the computer is kicking out the notices after a human being has decided that you deserve a break on the penalties. Ask the Taxpayer Advocate to clear this up for you. In order to get it started, you will need to fill out Form 911 (you can find it on the IRS website) and fax it to your local Taxpayer Advocate office. Within a few days someone will call you and begin to work toward the resolution of this problem. David,

I sent a check for the tax and interest and asked for cacellation of the penalty. I received a letter back agreeing and telling me my obligation was fulfilled. A month later I get a letter from a different office of IRS saying they want the penalty and more interest. I responded with copies of the discharges obligation from the other office, sent by registered mail. They ignored that, and instead demanded immediate payment, or else... The next letter (no intermediate mailings received)from the IRS demanded immediate payment within 10 days (not 30), threatening a lien. I will now have to hire a lawyer to fight them on a debt already paid. Welcome to America. I recently owed some taxes, interest and penalties.
