IRS tax penalties can catch even the most careful taxpayer by surprise. They can, and very often due, result in hundreds, even thousands of dollars in additional taxes, fines, and interest charges.
TAX TIP: If you ever find yourself in this situation, ALWAYS FIRST request a total or partial abatement of the penalty before paying it. The IRS often grants a "First-Time Waiver" or will forgive a penalty if you show reasonable cause. Interest charges, by law, cannot be waiver.
