Are there any penalties for filing my state taxes late?
Yes, there are penalties for filing state taxes late in Hawaii. Late filing penalties are imposed if you fail to file your tax return on time or fail to request an extension. The penalty is 5% of the unpaid tax for each month or part of a month the return is late, up to a maximum of 25%. Additionally, interest accrues on any unpaid tax amount. If you are unable to pay your tax in full, it is still important to file your return and make a partial payment to minimize the penalties and interest. However, penalties may be waived if you can show reasonable cause for late filing. It is advisable to file and pay your state taxes on time to avoid these penalties and accumulate unnecessary financial burdens.
