Taxes are a burden all citizens share, but it’s easy to let the responsibility get away from you. The government estimates that there are nearly $300 billion uncollected taxes in America from unfiled tax returns.

PENALTIES FOR NOT FILING

Many of those who fail to file their taxes hope that it’ll be easy for their inaction to go unnoticed, but the IRS has many measures in place to identify who has not filed, swiftly issuing penalties when it is an obvious infraction.

Penalties for federal unfiled tax returns include:

  • A failure-to-file penalty of 5% of the unpaid taxes for every month overdue (up to 25%)
  • Filing after 60 days has a penalty of either 100% of unpaid tax (with a minimum of $135)
