Have not completed my filing but found out that there is a $511 penalty due to not paying enough taxes in 2024. Wanted to know if there's a way to waive it.

To try to reduce or eliminate it, review the TurboTax article Why am I getting an underpayment penalty?

For more information, refer to the TurboTax help article Guide to IRS Tax Penalties: How to Avoid or Reduce Them for tips to use in the future.

You can contact the IRS to request a one-time abatement of your underpayment penalty. For individual tax returns, call 1-800-829-1040, 7 AM - 7 PM Monday through Friday local time.
