Penalty & Interest Charges

FAILURE-TO-PAY PENALTY - IRC SECTION 6651(a)

If tax as shown on your return as filed is more than your original or adjusted payments, we may charge a Failure-to-Pay Penalty.  We will figure the penalty from the due date of the return to the date the tax is paid.  We will bill you for this amount at a later date.  The bill may reflect the amount as unpaid interest.  This is because payments received are applied in the following order: tax, penalties, and then interest.

INTEREST PERIOD - IRC SECTION 6601

We are required by law to charge interest on unpaid tax from the due date of the tax return to the date the tax is paid in full.  The law requires that interest continue to be charged on the unpaid balance, including penalties, until paid in full.
