PENALTIES AND INTEREST ON EXCISE TAXES OWEDWe hope you’ll never be faced with paying penalties and interest on excise taxes owed, but the Internal Revenue Code does impose financial penalties on people who fail to file returns and pay all the taxes owed. When you fail to file a required tax return, make timely tax payment or deposits, or willfully neglect to pay your taxes, you may incur certain financial penalties. If you underpay your tax due to fraud, you may be subject to a civil fraud penalty, and in certain cases, you may even be subject to criminal prosecution. Learn about the most common types of penalties and interest imposed to help reduce the likelihood of your incurring these liabilities.
