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.

- 2Failure-to-Pay Penalty - 0.5% per month (0.25% with payment plan) up to 25% (IRC 6651(a)(2))
