Educational Tax Tip: How the IRS Calculates Penalties
Do you know how quickly penalties and interest can add up on unpaid taxes? The IRS can charge two separate penalties: one for filing late and another for paying late. The failure-to-file penalty is typically 5% of the unpaid taxes per month (up to 25%), while the failure-to-pay penalty is 0.5% per month (also up to 25%). On top of those, daily interest accrues on the total balance due. These charges can build up fast, turning a manageable debt into a much larger burden.
