About USTaxPenaltySaver

IRS penalty estimation tools made accessible to everyone

Our Mission

We believe everyone deserves to understand what they owe the IRS and their options for relief. For too long, penalty estimation tools have been locked behind expensive CPA fees, leaving millions of taxpayers confused about their options.

USTaxPenaltySaver was built to change that. We provide calculation tools so you can estimate penalties using the same IRS formulas professionals reference, at a price that makes sense for individual taxpayers.

The Problem We Solve

The Old Way

  • CPA fees vary widely based on complexity
  • Wait days for results
  • No FTA eligibility check
  • Extra fees for abatement letters

  • $39.99 for detailed report
  • Instant results
  • Automatic FTA eligibility check
  • Abatement letter template included

How We Calculate

Our estimates follow published IRS formulas outlined in the Internal Revenue Code and Internal Revenue Manual. We account for:

  • 1Failure-to-File Penalty - 5% per month up to 25%, with minimum penalty rules for returns 60+ days late (IRC 6651(a)(1))
  • 2Failure-to-Pay Penalty - 0.5% per month (0.25% with payment plan) up to 25% (IRC 6651(a)(2))
  • 3Combined Penalty Rules - When both apply, FTF is reduced by FTP amount
  • 4Daily Compounding Interest - Federal short-term rate + 3%, compounded daily (IRC 6621)
