"How can I avoid getting penalized for not filing my taxes on time?"

As an AI language model, I am not authorized to provide legal advice or offer legal services. It is important to consult with a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction who is familiar with the specific facts and circumstances of your situation.

Many factors can impact the penalties, interest, and other consequences that may arise from failing to file taxes on time, including the amount of tax owed, the length of the delay, the reason for the delay, and the taxpayer's overall compliance history.

In general, taxpayers who are unable to file on time should consider filing for an extension, paying any estimated tax due, and communicating promptly with the IRS or other taxing authority to explore options for resolving their tax delinquencies.

Ignoring the problem or failing to take proactive measures can result in significant additional penalties, as well as potential criminal prosecutions in certain cases.
