Missed your tax deadline. Now what?
Missing a deadline doesn't have to spiral, but the next few moves matter. This guide breaks down what's happening with your account and what to do about it.
Why this matters
The IRS runs two separate penalty clocks the moment your deadline passes. Most people only know about one. Knowing the difference changes your options, and your total bill.
What's inside
- Failure-to-file vs. failure-to-pay: how each penalty works and compounds
- The exact steps to take right now, in order
- IRS payment plan options: installment agreements, currently-not-collectible, offer in compromise
- First-time penalty abatement, which most people qualify for and never ask about
- How to stop the bleeding if you can't pay in full
