If you don't pay your taxes on time, then the IRS will add interest to the amount that you already owe. More so, this interest is added on a daily occurrence, right up until you fully pay the money that you owe them. Even if you have requested a time extension, you must pay this interest as the extension only applies to the time that you have to pay the taxes.
Currently, the IRS interest rate which is applied to outstanding taxes is their short-term rate and an additional 3%. Every three months, the short-term rate is calculated by the IRS and is then published for taxpayers to see.
Something worth noting is that this free online IRS Interest Calculator is designed only for the use of individuals (both single and married) and not for the use of companies. Furthermore, the IRS interest rates which this calculator uses are updated at the end of each tax quarter.
