Filing Late and/or Paying Late: Information You Should Know

 

Haven't Filed a Tax Return? Here's What to Do
Taxpayers should file all required returns that are past due now to avoid additional penalties and interest. This section gives information on getting help and documents needed to prepare a return. It is never too late to file.

It’s Important to Pay Taxes in Full
Paying taxes timely and in full also avoids unnecessary penalties and interest. This section also provides information on ways to pay taxes, such as installment agreements, and what a taxpayer should do upon receiving a bill from the IRS.

How Full Payment of Taxes Saves Money
Full or partial payment of tax liabilities through liquidating or borrowing costs less than an Installment Agreement.

Meeting the Terms of an Installment Agreement
Besides making agreed payments timely, many installment agreement terms also require that current and future tax returns and tax payments be made on time.
