Penalties & Payment Plans
“I missed the deadline to file, how big is the penalty?”
Missing a filing deadline can lead to different outcomes depending on the type of return, whether any tax was owed, and how long the return stayed unfiled. In many cases, the penalty framework also changes if there was a valid extension, if payments were made separately from the filing, or if the IRS already sent a notice. Interest and other charges can sometimes add to the total, so the final amount often depends on the specific facts and the account history. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
