Michigan IRS Late Filing, Tax Payment Penalties

  2. Late Payment Penalty: The failure to pay tax penalty is the same as the failure to file penalty.
  3. Underpayment of Estimated Tax Penalties: If you don't pay enough tax throughout the year through withholding or estimated tax payments, you may be subject to an underpayment penalty. The penalty for underpayment of estimated tax can be 25% for failing to file estimated payments or 10% of underpaid tax per quarter.

This is not an eFile.com created policy, but a federally regulated one which all online tax filing websites have to adhere to. You can, however, prepare all 44 state income tax returns on eFile.com if you have already e-filed or filed your IRS return. View instructions on how you can ONLY prepare and file state income tax return(s).
