San Mateo, CA: The IRS is not always right on penalty assessments and interest charged on outstanding taxes. Beware!
Many taxpayers falsely think when it comes to income taxes, what the IRS says is correct! Well, that is not the case every time.
When a client has a tax bill that has been outstanding for a while OR is subject to a tax penalty (and there are ALOT OF PENALTIES), the IRS can often rack up HUGE additional charges to add to the underlying tax liability.
Many clients feel OK paying the taxes that they owe, but get very upset and angry at penalties and interest charged to their bills. To make matters even worse---the interest that is charged covers not only the tax but the penalty amount also!
The interest that is charges changes quarterly. Currently, the interest is 7%. Interest is compounded daily and can really add up fast!
Few things to remember:
