failure to file your tax return(s)
The IRS is very aggressive about coming after non-filers and non-payers. So even if you don’t owe that much, you’ll want to file right away to stop the penalties and interest from adding up. IRS debt can add up fast. There’s a failure to file penalty, failure to pay penalty, interest on the taxes that are late, and the taxes themselves. The failure to file penalty can be as much as 25 percent, a debt that piles up fast.
The most important thing about filing back taxes is to get them filed as soon as possible whether you can pay them or not. Filing back tax returns will stop the failure to file penalty and is the first step on the road back to compliance for you.
