Can I get a First Time Penalty Abatement approved by the IRS via phone?

It’s for a late Sub S filing for 2019 tax year ending 12/31/19, due on 3/15/20, filed in May 2030.

So sorry  but no ... you have to beg forgiveness in writing.  Write an "I'm sorry I didn't realize the filing deadline was 3/15" letter  and promise to not do it again telling them how you will make sure it doesn't happen again.

May 2030! I'm sure you meant May 2020.
