IRS tax penalties fall into 5 principle categories:

• Accuracy penalties
• Fraud penalties
• Underpayment penalties
• Late filing or failure to file penalties
• Combined penalties.

Interestingly, one of the harshest penalties is for failure to file rather than failure to pay taxes. No matter whether you can afford to pay your taxes on time or not, you should always file when due to avoid late filing or failure to file penalties. The “failure to file” penalty begins at 5% of the amount of tax owed the day after a tax return is due, and can reach as much as 25% of the total tax due after 5 months. Of course, the penalties for fraud are quite severe as well, reaching up to 15% per month, with a maximum tax penalty of 75% of the amount of tax owed. Moreover, there are potential criminal ramifications in the event of fraud as well.

In fact, it's possible that multiple penalties can be applied to a single taxpayer (in more extreme cases). With the severe consequences involved with tax penalties, it's in your best interest to consult a professional that can get to the root of your tax debt problem, and resolve all the consequential penalties and interest involved.
