Penalties for Late Filing

April 15th is the annual tax filing date for Americans to file their federal income tax return forms or pay any taxes that they may owe. Filing a federal tax income return late or failing to pay a tax return on a timely basis could result in serious consequences.

If you feel as though you will be late on filing or paying for your tax return, it is wise that you consult with a certified public accountant. A CPA can help notify the IRS if you need an extension of time to file or pay your tax return. Instead of paying penalties, it is much more economical and safer for your finances to ask for help.

According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax law, penalties for filing or paying late could include:

• Penalty fees for failure to file or pay – penalties for failure to file are generally more costly than penalties for failure to pay
• The penalty for filing late is typically 5% of the unpaid taxes for each month that a return is late
• Penalties begin to accrue the day after a tax return filing is due
• If you do not pay your taxes by April 15th, you will face a failure-to-pay penalty at 0.5% of your unpaid taxes
• If you file your return more than 60 days after the due date, the minimum penalty could either be $135 or 100% of the unpaid tax, whichever is smaller
