The IRS charges interest and penalties from the due date of that tax return until the account is fully paid. So the longer you wait to fix a mistake, the more expensive it can be.

You can submit an amended tax return to correct most mistakes. Be aware that you can’t e-file an amended return it has to be on paper.
