I used a CPA to help me, and he requested under IRS's first-time abatement relief. I have been on time paying for many years. However, after I retired from the US Army with over 20-years of service, life took a turn. The abatement was denied, and I paid total of approximately $108,000 for tax year 2021 that included late penalties and accrued interests. Luckily I was able to login to my IRS online account where I saw balance plus accruing interest. I paid in FULL. I hope this is the last of it so I can enjoy my retirement from the U.S. Army. Wished I saw this video. Thank you for your informational video.
Hi Stephan. Thanks for the video. Im a bit confused though. The late filing penalty in the first case (over 6 months late) seems to be higher (USD 330 or total tax due) than the late filing penalty if the taxes were not paid for 5 years (25% of amount owed ie. $250) . Am I missing something?
I think you're right, the penalty should've been the lesser of $330 or $1,000 in that example, since the return was filed more than 60 days late. Nice catch!!
@@PracticalPersonalFinance can You guide me ? I have no sale , I just penalty in penalty column and submit then where we pay penality online in florida state give me link
quick question: what if I submit an amendment return in September 20, 2023 for tax year 2021 and the amendment generated a tax liability of $255. how much penalties and interest will it generate and can I add the penalties and interest to the amended return so the tax payer is aware of the total tax implication right away instead of having to wait for an IRS notice? Thanks in advance
So I've never owed money to the irs when filing. I submitted my 2019 return, but I haven't done 2018. So if they owe me money for the 2018 taxes, then I won't have a penalty?
I stopped doing my business in 2020 but in 2021 I didn't pay my annual report... I attempted to close the business but apparently I didn't do it right , so I submitted all the tax filings which were 0 for all but not I'm wondering should I file to close the business or should I pay the annual report fee and then close it ? Also how screwed am I ?
Thanks for that explanation! So for example, if I owed $5000 per quarter (both Federal and State) in estimated tax payments, but I didn't pay the Q1 taxes until 3 months later on Q2 (June 15th), would I owe $750, plus interest, in penalties for missing Q1 estimated tax payment? (5% X $5000 X 3 months late)
Can you calculate mine, please. If I owe 30k on taxes 2021, i filed for extension but did not pay any taxes for that year. How much will I be paying if i do a monthly payment. Now its’s 2023 how much do you think it will be, estimate? Thanks in advance! 😵💫
I used turbo tax, and I have it where it takes it from my refund. I select that every damn year. Since the government haven’t payed me yet. It took my whole damn refund. That’s not my fault.
How can you tell what you owe? Like the IRS receives all these tax documents, but we are still required to file. So if we miss something, can the interest end up being compounded for years and years without us knowing? Is there a way to ask the IRS "Hey do I owe anything"? lol
Great question. Yes there is, you can request your account transcript to see if you owe any taxes to the IRS via the following link: www.irs.gov/payments/view-your-tax-account
@@locumcpa Ahh awesome, thanks! Seems like if you click "Create/View your account" in that link you sent it tells you if you owe. For me 2016-2020 shows all zeros, im good!
Hello, we filed our 2012 LLC tax return in 2015, we received a letter in 2018 indicating we owed late penalties. We consulted a tax attorney in 2018 and he advised since the business had been dissolved in 2016, the penalties would be forgiven! So now we get this letter last week indicating over $6000 penalty bill. Is there anything that can be done? This amount is penallties only! Please advise.
hey guys, what does it mean? when a local government entity threatens to attach a lien for a statutory penalty to business personal property. The business is already closed but was a sole proprietorship.
I already forgot to pay the first two estimated taxes for Tax Year 2021 (I filed for an extension but forgot to pay estimated taxes). Can I make up for it by including the first three quarters' estimated taxes together before September 15th? Or a penalty is unavoidable now?
Hello I have a quick question I’m in California. When is the cut of time to collect tax holders? Does it start January and end tomorrow in Nov and than we can file taxes until January or December? I’m trying to calculate how if I have money to file for irs or if I have to work before the cut off time
I was literally 57 minutes late, but it’s now pending. Now what? Didn’t realize the last day was today (I was told the last day was the 15th). Do I still have to contact the IRS and get an extension? And what if I don’t get an extension but it goes through, will I have to pay 5% penalties/late fees? I’m so pissed...
If I were in your shoes, I would simply file and pay as soon as possible. You're going to get hit with the late filing penalty if you owe, but as long as you don't let it go past 60 days, the penalty should not be too bad. Since this video was made, the late filing penalty actually went up quite a bit to $435 instead of the $330 that Steve mentioned thanks to the SECURE Act at the end of 2019. But if you're due a refund, don't worry, you won't have to worry about any penalties.
@@PracticalPersonalFinance Does that late fee apply after you go past the 60 day mark? Or is that as soon as you’re late? Cause I know the cap is 25% but that’s only if you let it go 5 months without paying. Are the penalty fees still the same? If so, then being late is an automatic 5%, plus the penalty, which means I’ll owe between $50-?55 (maybe $60), am I right? Also, when you’re late, they’ll send you something in mail letting you know you owe, am I correct?
I started my business September 22nd and get business until Jan 4 2022 so I didn’t make any money in 2021 so what would my late filling be fee and I’m a partner ship
Hi Stephen, I hope you can help me. I contracted a company to fill out my tax return in 2020. They fill out my tax return, and I pay the amount they asked me to pay to IRS. However the end of last year, I was negotiating with IRS for my tax return from 2021, and IRS told me that they could see that I paid "x" amount, but they never received my tax return from 2020. Can I make this company accountable for its mistake?
Hey I have a question. So I did my taxes on Feb and I owe IRS 373, but this is before the unemployment tax break. Now, I didn't pay that yet, which is due by the 17th of May. If I am to recieve the unemployment tax break(mines is at 22%), then do I still need to pay the 373 by May 17th, or do I just not pay and will they automatically deduct from my refund??
I owe $9k and am 7 months late on filing and paying now. Any idea on how much I would be charged in late and penalty fees if i were to file and setup a payment plan within the next week?
@@ShineVanguard168 I believe it would be 0.5% per month (or fraction of a month) on the unpaid tax. So in your case, $500 x 0.5% x 2 months = $5 penalty + a dollar or two of interest.

at 2 min 36 sec , he says "the minimum"; he means to say "the maximum"
Na, it's the minimum late filing penalty, he had it right.
Thank you for this info. I've been getting anxious about being late. At least now there's some clarity.
So if you miss file your tax or extension on time, what you will do? Fill it up normally then you will paid for penalties and interests?
This essay very helpful and thank you! I owe the 11 grand but made arrangements and already started paying
Thank you!

To avoid the penalties, safe harboring, is the 110% due by the end of December of the tax year, or 15 January of the following year?
Can you still file taxes from 2018 this year?

can you have federal tax taken out of your check but not show up on your w2 at the end of the year
Everything made sense except how you were calculating the interest on the penalties. The math didn't seem correct.
What if I paid two months late and filed the return five months late from due date?

$334 interest ? Over 5 years ? 5% daily compounded? How does that math work ?
What if your own a refund?

The penalties and interest will be based on the tax amount owed and how longs its been outstanding.

The penalties are unavoidable but I would make a catch up payment to reduce any future penalties from accruing.

Great question Joshua. You still have to report the income based on your last paystub.
if I owe 80k but pay 4 months late, what would my late fees accumulate to?
So if I'm making over 53.4% on my money over 5 years. Is it a good idea to pay 5 years late?
I owe $9k and am 7 months late on filing and paying now. Any idea on how much I would be charged in late and penalty fees if i were to file and setup a payment plan within the next week?
I would just use his example in scenario 3 and multiply his numbers by 9. You would be paying slightly less than that number, I would assume
This was so helpful thanks!
What happens if you file on time but pay a couple days late
There still may be penalties for late payment.
Thanks for the video. What happen if I file my tax on time but only able to pay $500 of $1000 owe by April 15 and the remaining $500 1.5 month later?
@@ShineVanguard168 I believe it would be 0.5% per month (or fraction of a month) on the unpaid tax. So in your case, $500 x 0.5% x 2 months = $5 penalty + a dollar or two of interest.
