With the dramatic increase in IRS interest rates from 3% to 8% over the last two years, understanding how the IRS imposes interest on unpaid balances can help tax professionals mitigate interest accruals for clients. In addition, related penalties, such as the §6651(a)(2) failure to pay penalty and the §6654 estimated tax penalty, will also be discussed with potential mitigation and abatement strategies.

  • Describe how the failure to pay penalty accrues on unpaid federal balances.
  • Describe how the estimated tax penalty is calculated.
