Problem 12-3 (Algorithmic)

Interest and Penalties (LO 12.3)

Compute the penalty described for the following taxpayers.

b. Joan filed her individual income tax return 3 months after it was due. She did not request an extension of time for filing. Along with her return, Joan remitted a check for $725, which was the balance of the taxes she owed with her return.

Disregarding interest, calculate the total penalties that Joan will be required to pay, assuming the failure to file was not fraudulent.

$ The answer is not $108.75 (5%x725x 3months) Failure-to-File

Not sure what Im missing.
