Forgot to pay until now
Hello, I filed my taxes through a different tax system this year, and instead of paying for my taxes through my return, for the first time, I had to get my refund and then pay separately. I filed my taxes on 4/13, and prepaid the state of CT $500. I thought I read you could pay in 4 installments over the course of X months. I was estimated to owe $1900. I did not realize you have to pay taxes by 4/15, I thought you only had to file. Tough lesson learned. Fast forward to a move to a new apartment & life events, I just realized I never fully paid. I went to the CT portal and paid $2044, and read that late fee interest compounds daily. Again, tough lesson learned. Wondering if there’s any other fallout I’ll experience from paying taxes this late? Hit on the credit score? Ring from the IRS? Anything besides extreme guilt and the late fee financial loss?
This is the first time this has happened to me, I usually pay all bills in full ahead of the due date. Feeling extremely bad and anxious.
