Filing Taxes Late Penalty
Question: What is the penalty for filing an extension one day late?
The Post Offices in the new city I live are not open any later on tax day. I am filing an extension with no money owed. I either have to go on a drive or mail it one day late. what is the penalty?
Thank you!
Answer: You can’t file for it late – after today, an extension isn’t available. And driving won’t help you – none of the post offices are open late.
You can efile an extension request. But if you don’t owe, there is no penalty for filing late – if you owe, there is.

File Taxes Past Years
Question: I did not file my taxes for the past two years, how should I correct that ?
Answer: File them! There is a three year statute of limitations. That means that if you do not file your taxes within three years of the date they were due then you can NOT claim any refunds. However the government can go back as far as they want to collect any taxes that you may owe plus lots of penalties and interest.

Late Tax Filing Refund
Question: Is there a penalty or jail time possible for not filing to get a Tax Refund?
Does the federal government impose a late filing penalty or jail time on individuals who fail to file their taxes and yet are due a refund? I know that they don’t make any effort to seek you out to let you know you are due a refund. I guess my question is, how vindictive is the government when it already has your money?
So the IRS could come after you and prosecute you to get you to file your tax returns. If you did and it turns out they owed you money, have they just wasted everyone’s time and resources?
People are lazy by nature and don’t want to file, even if it means getting money back. The effort might not seem to be worth it.Answer: No, there is no penalty for late filing if a refund is due. Penalties are based upon the amount of the tax debt outstanding. If there’s no debt, there’s no penalty.
Nobody EVER went to jail for late filing of a return. The only penalty is financial and again only if taxes are due.
If a return is missing, the IRS gives plenty of warning before pursuing criminal sanctions for failure to file. They can’t get any money from a jailbird and they’d rather you be able to earn come income and pay them their due.

File Taxes Late Penalty
Question: if you filed taxes late but were owed taxes can you still be fined?
When I was younger I was stupid and didn’t file a tax return, I got audited and I was actually owed money back but didn’t have any clue how to fill out the forms. Now I owe $2500 and the length of time was about 3 years. I live in MN and was told that if I was due money that there shouldn’t be such a high fee. I had two kids at that time and was low income. I’m just wondering how I can find out what the penalties, late fees, etc… per year for filing late.
i determined i was owed money because for one i had two kids, i was in school, i was working 2 jobs both part-time and every year before and after that i have always received a return. at that time i was also low income, so i doubt i owed anything.Answer: for federal late filing fee is 10% of the tax liability, plus interest on the unpaid balance until it is paid
of course, if you had no tax liability and were due refunds there would be refunds due you
if you need to amend any returns the deadline for 2006 is April 15, 2010, so if that one would result in a refund, you need to get that in asap
the others can be delayed but the clock continues to tick on interest accrual
