Benefits of Making a Partial Payment on Your Tax Bill Instead of None
Understanding the Importance of Partial Tax Payments
If you're unable to pay your tax bill in full, consider making a partial payment to reduce penalties.
Minimizing Financial Penalties
Owing the IRS money is a bummer. But if you can't pay in full, sending in what you can afford can help lower the penalties you face.
