I have a New client that has an S-Corp that has not been profitable. He started it in 2019 and then Covid and he never paid attention to it until recently. We recently filed 7 years of returns, and he has been hit with multiple penalties.. Upwards of $7K..  Has anyone had any experience with requesting for a reduced amount? is there any forgiveness I’m missing?

    Is the client located in a state that requires annual filing of corporation reports?  Did the corporation have any income during those years?  Has he filed amended 1040s to claim the losses on the late K-1s?  How much were the losses, anyway?
