Avoid Late Filing Penalties
If you fail to file either a tax extension or return by the appropriate filing deadline (March 17 for businesses and April 15 for individuals), the IRS may charge interest on any unpaid Federal taxes, as well as impose a failure-to-file penalty. The interest compounds daily and the rate is currently the Federal short-term rate plus 3%. If you do not file and you owe tax, the failure-to-file penalty is 5% per month (up to 5 months) of the unpaid tax. If your tax return is more than 60 days late, you may be subject to a minimum penalty of $135. The IRS will also impose a failure-to-pay penalty of 0.5% per month (up to 25%) of the tax owed if you file a return or extension but don’t pay all your taxes on time.
