How do I File an FTA first-time penalty abatement. Can not find any form online

I did not file my taxes for 2016, and am trying to file them this year. It says I owe money for the 2016 year. How can I file for an FTA to hopefully lower or remove any penalties that I will receive when I file my 2016 taxes. I have looked online and found out about the FTA, but am unable to find any form or info on how and when to send it.

To request an abatement you will need to call the IRS at 800-829-1040.  There is not a form available online, they do the abatement application on the phone.

Should I call IRS first and do the FTA or submit my LLC tax return and then call IRS.
