Question:

I got charged a tax penalty, what can I do?

Our answer:

If you get charged a tax penalty, you have several options to deal with it.

Option 1:

You can pay the penalty.

Option 2:

If you can’t pay your balance in full, pay what you can now.

You can enter into an Instalment Agreement to pay the remaining balance. Entering into an Instalment Agreement may reduce future failure to pay penalties.

You can contact the IRS and request penalty relief or abatement if you qualify. For more information on qualifications, visit the IRS website.
