Missed the January 15 Estimated Tax Deadline? Here’s What Actually Happens

Описание: Did you just realize the January 15th quarterly deadline passed and you didn't send a dime? 😱 First off, take a deep breath. You aren't in "tax jail," but you do need to act fast!

Today, I’m sharing exactly what I told a client who called me in this exact panic. Many people think that once they miss the date, they should just wait until April to pay everything at once—but that is a trap that will cost you money.

The IRS calculates underpayment penalties based on how much you owe and how long it remains unpaid. Currently, the interest rate for the first quarter of 2026 is 7% per year, compounded daily. Every day you wait to pay is another day that interest is ticking on your balance.

In this video, I’m walking you through my "Stop the Bleeding" strategy to save you money on interest and how to use IRS Direct Pay to fix the mistake in under 10 minutes.
