Important IRS Update: Significant Interest Penalty Increase for Tax Underpayments
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has recently announced a critical change that could significantly impact taxpayers who underpay their taxes. This update is particularly relevant as we approach the next tax filing season.
Previously, the IRS charged a 3% interest penalty on estimated tax underpayments. However, this rate has now been increased to a substantial 8%. This change reflects a notable jump and demonstrates the IRS’s commitment to enforcing tax laws more strictly.
