Remove Penalties and Interest Charges
If you pay your taxes later or don’t pay at all you would have IRS problems. IRS considers unpaid tax as borrowed money and so interest is charged on your unpaid taxes, as required by the U.S. Congress. In addition to that you are also liable to penalties for late payment.
The punishment which IRS imposes on you for not paying taxes on time includes penalties and interest on unpaid taxes. When the tax is computed the interest starts accruing. Assessed penalties which are compounded on daily basis and interests charged on it are included in the balance. At this rate, your bill will double or triple even before you know it.
You will be charged interest regardless of the reasons for your late/unpaid taxes. Interest can go from 4% to 10 % and get compounded on daily basis and get posted quarterly. It won’t stop to accrue until you make the payment.
