IRS TAX PENALTIES
(You Get Punished)
The IRS penalizes millions of taxpayers each
year. They have so many penalties that it's hard
to understand which penalty you've received.
When you do not file and do not pay your tax liability
it increases by 50% in a short period of time. To
make matters worse, the IRS charges you interest
on penalties. IRS interest is compounded daily and
you have to pay income tax on any penalty you do
pay the IRS. You might find out about the IRS problems
years after they have occurred, when they are full
grown monsters.
Some IRS penalties can be as high as 75%-100% of
the original taxes owed. Even if you could pay the
taxes owed, the extra penalties make it impossible
to pay off the entire balance.
The
IRS imposes penalties to punish taxpayers and keep
them in line. The IRS does forgive penalties. Before
you pay the IRS any penalty amounts, you may want
to consider requesting the IRS to not punish you
because it wasn't your fault.
