It is important to remember to submit a tax return on an annual basis and pay any outstanding tax debt you owe to the IRS. The IRS carefully monitors all incoming tax returns and failure to either submit a tax return or pay outstanding taxes can result in swift communication from the IRS. If ignored, this can quickly spiral out of your hands and you may find yourself under close scrutiny or have to pay California state tax penalty fees. To avoid this stress, why not contact Tax Defense Partners for a free consultation? We have Californias top Los Angeles tax attorney team.

What Happens When You Don’t Pay Federal & California State Tax?
If you do not submit your annual tax return on time, every month you delay submitting your tax return, you will be subjected to a penalty of 5% of any outstanding taxes you owe. This goes up to a maximum of 25% (or 5 months). That can be a hefty fine after 5 months. If you submit your tax return but fail to pay the outstanding tax, then you will be fined 0.5% every month the taxes remain unpaid, and there is no limit on this – so it can go on for a long time. In addition, to this fine, the IRS will also charge an additional daily interest on the outstanding amounts, which equates to around 3-4% annually
