Penalties

There are many reasons tax penalties might be imposed.  First there’s not filing by the tax deadline, followed by not paying your taxes on time.  Other penalties can result from issues such as your bank not honoring you check or other form or payment, or not paying quarterly taxes when you should.  As a result, navigating the U.S. tax system can be challenging.
