I searched in Rambam [hilchot Korban Pessach][1] and if I don't miss something, no Kappara (atonement) is mentioned. Thanks to the answer of mevaqesh you can see [here][02] who is astonished by the Tosfot Yom Tov comparison between Pessach and taanit about Kappara. The astonishing of Tif'eret Israel is perhaps also due to the lack of sources.
