What is a Late Payment Penalty for the IRS?
The IRS imposes the late payment penalty when a taxpayer fails to pay their tax liability by the due date, typically April 15th for individuals. This penalty accrues on any unpaid tax balance from the filing deadline until the debt is paid in full. The penalty is generally 0.5% of the unpaid taxes per month or part of a month, up to a maximum of 25% of the owed amount.

Eligibility Requirements for Resolving Tax Penalty Relief
To qualify for IRS tax penalty relief, a taxpayer must meet specific eligibility requirements. The IRS considers several factors when determining whether a taxpayer is eligible for penalty abatement or reduction.
Here are the most common eligibility requirements:
Reasonable Cause: If you can demonstrate that your failure to pay on time was due to circumstances beyond your control, such as a serious illness, natural disaster, or financial hardship, the IRS may waive penalties. You’ll need to provide evidence supporting your claim.
First-Time Penalty Abatement (FTA): Taxpayers may qualify for the IRS’s first-time penalty abatement if they meet the following conditions:
You have filed all required tax returns or extensions.
You have paid or arranged to pay any taxes due.
You have no prior penalties for the past three tax years.
IRS Errors: If the IRS mistakenly calculated your penalties or processed your tax returns, you may be eligible for relief. In this case, submitting the correct documentation and proof is critical.
Statutory Exceptions: The IRS may waive certain tax penalties under specific circumstances outlined in tax law, such as military service during a war or qualifying disaster relief situations.
Compliance with IRS Filings: To be eligible for relief, the taxpayer must be current on their tax filings and in compliance with IRS regulations. If any previous tax returns are unfiled, these must be resolved before relief is granted.

Will my penalties be charged additional interest if they are not removed?

Can I apply for penalty relief if I am already on an IRS payment plan?
Yes, being on an IRS payment plan does not disqualify you from seeking penalty relief. We can help you apply for penalty abatement even while making payments.
