You submitted your tax return but needed help paying the due amount. It's easy to think, "I'll handle it next year." Suddenly, you're behind by several years, and then comes a notice from the IRS claiming you owe three or four times the original amount.
It's astonishing how quickly tax penalty and interest accumulate. Now, you face a decision: you can either settle the total amount now—including the interest and penalty—or continue to ignore the growing debt as penalty and interest further increase.
