The federal tax penalty is 0.5% per month (not per year) of the balance due, increasing to 1.0% per month after an intent to levy notice is issued. In addition to the penalty, interest is charged at a rate that varies quarterly. The current rate is 4% per year.

In addition, if you are convicted in a court of law of willful failure to pay taxes, you could be fined up to $25,000 and imprisoned for up to one year. Criminal prosecutions are very rare.

Each state sets its own fines and penalties for failure to pay state income taxes.
