If you have lost your job, your home or are in serious debt, the thought of paying taxes on top of all this may make you want to pull your hair out. The IRS has released the following resources to answer questions about paying taxes while under financial duress.
Example: What if I can’t pay my taxes?
“Don’t panic. If you cannot pay the full amount of taxes you owe by the April deadline, you should still file your return by the deadline and pay as much as you can to avoid penalties and interest. You also should contact the IRS to discuss your payment options at 1-800-829-1040.”
