What are your dc tax penalties?

In Washington D.C., tax penalties can vary based on the type of tax and the nature of the violation. Common penalties include a failure-to-file penalty, which is generally 5% of the unpaid tax per month, up to a maximum of 25%, and a failure-to-pay penalty of 1% per month on the unpaid amount. Additionally, interest accrues on unpaid taxes, compounding monthly. It’s important to address any tax issues promptly to minimize these penalties.
