Types of IRS Penalties

The IRS imposes penalties in several circumstances, including:

  • Failure to file tax returns

  • Failure to pay taxes owed

  • Inaccurate tax returns

  • Failure to deposit employment taxes

  • Underpayment of estimated tax

  • Dishonored checks

These penalties are typically calculated as a percentage of the outstanding tax amount. For instance, the penalty for late filing is 5% of the unpaid tax liability for each month the return is overdue. Moreover, interest is charged on the accrued penalties.

Options for IRS Penalty Abatement

While the IRS levies these penalties to maintain fairness and effectiveness within the tax system, they also recognize that certain taxpayers may unintentionally fail to file or pay their taxes. Therefore, the IRS provides options to avoid penalties or seek their removal.

For instance, first-time offenders may have their penalties waived. Additionally, individuals can apply for penalty abatement based on reasonable causes that made it difficult or impossible to meet their tax obligations, such as the death or serious illness of a family member.
