What happens if you miss a tax deadline?
Penalties, and how to recover.
Missing a deadline typically triggers a penalty and interest that grows the longer the balance goes unpaid, but it's rarely catastrophic if addressed quickly.
Filing as soon as possible, even late, stops further penalties from accruing — and in many cases, first-time penalty abatement is available if your account is otherwise in good standing.
