EDD Penalty Abatement

Service Overview

The Penalties That Make EDD Assessments So Large

A big share of an EDD assessment is often penalty, not base tax. The EDD imposes penalties for late filing and payment, for failing to file required returns, and — most severely — for intentional misclassification or fraud, which can add substantial percentages on top of the reclassified tax. Reducing these can meaningfully shrink what you owe.

How Its Work

How We Help

We analyze which penalties were assessed and on what basis, then attack them on two fronts: challenging the reclassification and arguing reasonable cause or lack of intent to defeat the fraud-level penalties specifically, pursuing it through the appeal process where needed.

Penalty relief is fact-driven and discretionary; we make no guarantees, but the intentional-misclassification penalties are often contestable.
