How To Pay Taxes Due After The Tax Deadline

The IRS Failure-to-Pay Penalty is 1/2 of 1% of your taxes due for each month or part of a month after the April 15th due date.

Did you file your taxes by the tax deadline and while doing so were caught off guard by the tax due amount? Maybe you were expecting a tax refund, but instead realized you actually owe the IRS. If you have other bills to pay, this might put you into a sticky situation.

The tax due amount you owe will increase as time passes. If you can’t pay the tax due, the IRS will most likely work with you. Regardless of your tax due amount, be sure that you have filed your taxes. If not, you will face failure-to-file penalties on top of your failure-to-pay penalties.
