IRS & Tax Penalty Relief

The bummer is that most of them compound monthly! The even bigger bummer is that the INTEREST compounds DAILY on the taxes AND penalties AND interest! The most prevalent penalties for income tax filings are late filing the tax return, late paying of the taxes due on the balance, and underpayment of estimated tax. Fortunately the IRS also has the ability to offer tax penalty relief for reasonable cause.

The penalty for late filing is 5% per month for the first 5 months (actually it’s technically 4.5%, but the other 5% is for Late Paying). This of course adds up to max of 25% really fast and needs to be addressed as soon as possiible.

The Underpayment of Estimated Tax Penalty is more like interest on the estimated taxes that should have been paid quarterly throughout the year. It stops on April 15th, and then the other penalties kick in. It is based on your total liability for the year as well as what was paid in the prior year. They allow an exemption for amounts paid that at least equal the last year’s taxes (for higher income individuals the exemption is for paying at least 110% of last year’s taxes).

If you have payroll taxes, the penalties are even stiffer for late paying or underpaying these taxes. There are also penalties for not making the payroll tax deposits through the banking systems (Federal Tax Deposits are to be paid to the IRS via the banking system), and penalties for not paying the deposit to the bank soon enough. Having these penalties on top of the other late filing and paying penalties are the exact reasons you should consider IRS penalty abatement!
