The IRS is launching a new Automatic Exemption from Penalty (AEP) program this summer, replacing the First Time Abate (FTA) process. This initiative offers tax penalty relief for eligible small businesses and individuals, starting with the 2025 tax period and 2026 quarterly returns. Unlike the FTA, AEP automatically applies relief to those with a strong compliance history, specifically filing and paying on time for the three prior years. Businesses also must not have had failure-to-deposit penalties waived four or more times in that period. While AEP provides automatic relief for qualifying late payments or filings, taxpayers must still pay any outstanding taxes or interest.
