Individuals who owe federal taxes will incur interest and penalties if they don’t file and pay on time.

For every month you fail to pay, the IRS will charge you 0.5%, up to 25%.

If you can’t pay the full amount you owe when you file, paying what you can and looking into payment plans with the IRS is better than paying nothing.
