There are more than 140 distinct IRS tax penalties that are exercised against Milwaukee taxpayers. The IRS will tell you that the purpose of tax penalties are to encourage taxpayers to stay on top of tax filing deadlines, but it's safe to say they also are looking to make a profit on your tax delinquency.

IRS tax penalties fall into 5 principle categories:

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

Surprisingly, one of the harshest penalties is for failure to file rather than failure to pay taxes. With that being said, it's important to always file your taxes on time, whether you can afford to pay them or not. 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. In more severe cases of tax fraud, there are potential criminal ramifications involved.

To make matters worse, it is possible that multiple penalties will be applied to a single tax return or year. Because of the potential consequences involved with tax penalties, it's well worth your time reaching out to our IRS penalty abatement specialists to explore your options for tax penalty abatement.
