Penalties & Payment Plans
“What do I owe for filing my tax return late?”
What you owe for filing a tax return late often depends on several factors, including whether any tax was unpaid, how late the return was, and whether there were prior notices or penalty relief considerations. In many cases, the total can include separate pieces for late filing, late payment, and interest, and the amounts may be affected by whether the return was filed on time through an extension or not. The final figure also depends on the tax year involved, the type of return, and any payments already made before the return was filed. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.
