Penalties caused by what? Those may qualify for several types. Some are on your return while others may need a letter. 

 

If you need extra time, filing an extension by April 15, 2026, moves your submission deadline to October 15.  See if you need to file a state extension Any taxes owed are still due in full by the original April 15 date.  Pay through either Direct Pay or your individual online account. To set up a payment plan, see Find details on payment plan types
