To help struggling taxpayers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, on 24 August 2022, the Internal Revenue Service issued Notice 2022-36, which provides penalty relief to most people and businesses who file certain 2019 or 2020 returns late. The relief applies to the failure to file penalty. The penalty is typically assessed at a rate of 5% per month, up to 25% of the unpaid tax when a federal income tax return is filed late. This relief applies to forms in both the Form 1040 and 1120 series. To qualify for this relief, any eligible income tax return must be filed on or before September 30, 2022. In addition, the IRS is providing penalty relief to banks, employers and other businesses required to file various information returns, such as those in the 1099 series. To qualify for relief, the notice states that eligible 2019 returns must have been filed by August 1, 2020, and eligible 2020 returns must have been filed by August 1, 2021.
