If you didn't owe anything, it doesn't matter. If you you had a balance due you will be subject to a failure to file penalty and late payment penalty. If so, you may be able to have them waived by calling the IRS and asking for a penalty abatement.

Maybe nothing. If you are due a Federal refund, there's no penalty for a late return. If you owed taxes due, you could have a 1 day penalty, or the IRS might be nice on that short period of time.

Yes, I ll get refund, I don't owe anything thanks to solar credit among others.

Thank you.

I dont think it's my case, but an average of this penalties based on the 8 minutes late? "failure to file penalty and late payment penalty."

Thank you @DavidD66

If you are due a Federal refund, there is nothing to penalize. Both of those penalties are figured on the amount of unpaid taxes owed.
