Penalties apply for negligence or fraud, with fines, interest, or imprisonment. Collectors may require notices and the commissioner can issue original rulings on understatement. Extensions to file may be granted in certain cases with a deadline-driven payment plan. Do not evade taxes or praise soldiers while neglecting tax payments.
