You owed the IRS $7,000.
You waited.
Now you owe $15,000.

This happens because IRS penalties are automatic and stackable.

Late filing: 5% per month, up to 25%.
Late payment: 0.5% per month, up to 25%.
File AND pay late: up to 47.5% in combined penalties — before interest.

Interest runs at 4–6% annually on your balance AND your penalties.

Here is what most contractors don’t know: about 1 in 3 IRS penalties are eventually removed.

If you’ve had no penalties in the past 3 years, you likely qualify for First-Time Penalty Abatement — call 800-829-1040 and ask for it.

If you’re already past that point, there are formal options: appeals, Offer in Compromise (Form 656), or paying the balance and filing Form 843 to reclaim the penalty.

Don’t let this number keep growing.
