Penalties & Payment Plans
“I missed my tax payment deadline, what penalty do I owe?”
Missing a tax payment deadline can lead to different penalty and interest charges, and the amount often depends on the type of tax, how late the payment is, and whether any part of the balance was already paid on time. For some taxpayers, the filing position, prior estimated payments, and the presence of an IRS notice can also affect how the total is calculated. In many cases, the first step is identifying whether the issue is a payment penalty, a filing penalty, or both, since the labels and calculations are not always the same. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
