CPA Anthony Mangiameli of Insero & Company discussed your options if you owe money to the government after filing your income tax return Monday on News 8 at Sunrise. Mangiameli said the best advice is to file on time and pay as much as as possible to avoid a late filing penalty. You can pay by phone, online, check or money order. If you don't have any cash, you can get a loan or use a credit card to pay for your taxes. Mangiameli said although these options will include interest charges, they will be lower than the IRS interest and penalties resulting from unpaid taxes. There is an "Online Payment Agreement" tool on the IRS website that can be utilized if you can’t pay your taxes in full.
