$50 or 5% of the tax due for each month 

during which there is a failure to file 

return or report, not to exceed an 

amount up to 25% of the tax due. The 

late filing penalty is calculated from the 

due date or extended due date. The 

penalty is computed only on the net 

amount of tax due, if any, as of the 

original due date or extended due date, 

after credit has been given for amounts 

paid through withholding, estimated tax 

payments, or other credits claimed on
