Avoid IRS Penalties, E-File Tax Returns Before the Deadline!

The most common IRS penalties are for not filing on time and not paying on time. There are almost 150 penalties in the Internal Revenue Code, but these two very common penalties make up 74% of all. 60% of all is Failure to pay penalty, imposed if you don’t pay taxes on time. And 14% is Failure to file penalty, imposed if you don’t file a return on time. That means majority of the total tax payers either miss to file returns on time or miss to pay tax due on time.

A failure to file or failure to pay penalties are charged on returns filed after the due date or taxes paid after the due date. Although one can request for the penalty abatement but that could take up to three to nine months’ time and loads of hassles before a successful relief.

You may find it easiest to hire an accountant for a timely filings and payments to save you from all but generally accountants charge a very high fees to get your job done. Taxpayers can potentially save their time and these additional money by shifting their tax return preparation and filings to www.TaxExcise.com.
