Do I still have to paper file a late 2019 return.

Is there a potential to minimize penalties for taxes owed?  For example, if an extension was filed, then I believe late filing penalties would jump from 15% to 20% after January 15th.  If an extension was not filed and tax owed, then probably already maxed out at 25%.

The IRS says "each month or part of a month" and nothing about the 15th of each month.  So, all of Jan is 5% and then after Jan 31 another 5%.

That sounds right Max, thanks.

In actuality, it breaks down to 4.5% late filing and 0.5% late payment per month, so when the IRS issues a letter with the penalties it will show late filing as 22.5%.  The late payment penalty maxes out at 25%.
