The IRS applies late penalties and interest on a
case-by-case basis and will send a separate bill if penalties apply. Because the IRS has the final word on
penalties, I can't calculate the exact amount if your return is late, but I can
supply some the info that will give you an idea of what to expect in certain
scenarios.
Late filing penalties apply if you owe taxes and didn't file
your return or extension by April 15, 2020.
In the case of interest, which is compounded daily, the late payment
penalty is 0.5% of the additional tax owed amount for every month. Interest starts accumulating on unpaid taxes
one day after the due date of the return.
Maybe there is no good reason to file late (or at least
properly apply for an extension). Let’s
find out together. I am Las Vegas CPA
