Many times people ask me, “Hey if I don’t pay my taxes now, how much am I going to owe If I wait and pay them later?” It’s a great question. It’s not quite as black and white as we might like. The IRS does assess pretty much an eight-and-a-half percent interest rate. And then penalties range from five to 15 up to 25%, depending on if it’s failure to pay, failure to file, failure to make quarterly fees. All of them have different rates. So if you add those together, you’re looking at a possible 32% tax penalty for not paying or filing on time. If you want to find out a way to avoid that, you should call me at 615-367-0819.
