What penalties can the IRS impose?

Writer Nathan Sanders

Failure-to-file penalty is charged on returns filed after the due date or extended due date, absent a reasonable cause for filing late. The failure-to-file penalty is 5% of the unpaid taxes for each month or part of a month that a tax return is late. The penalty won’t exceed 25% of your unpaid taxes.

How do I get IRS penalties removed?

You can file an appeal if all the following have occurred:

  1. You received a letter that the IRS assessed a failure to file and/or failure to pay penalty to your individual or business tax account.
  2. You sent a written request to the IRS asking them to remove the penalty.
