The fee schedule provides information and fee rates for USPTO's products and services. All payments must be paid in U.S. dollars for the full amount of the fee required. View the Accepted payment methods page or call the USPTO Contact Center at

800-786-9199 for assistance.
The fees subject to reduction upon establishment of small entity status (37 CFR 1.27) or micro entity status (37 CFR 1.29) are shown in separate columns. Except for provisional applications, each application for a patent requires the appropriate search fee and examination fee in addition to the appropriate fees in the "Patent application filing fees" section below. This means each fee listed as a "Basic filing fee" in the "Patent application filing fees" section should be accompanied by the appropriate search fee listed in the "Patent search fees" section as well as the appropriate examination fee listed in the "Patent examination fees" section. The $400/$200 non-electronic filing fee (fee codes 1090/2090/3090 or 1690/2690/3690) must be paid in addition to the filing, search and examination fees, in each original nonprovisional utility application filed in paper with the USPTO. The only way to avoid payment of the non-electronic filing fee is by filing your nonprovisional utility application via Patent Center. The non-electronic filing fee does not apply to reissue, design, plant, or provisional applications.
Generally, April 15 is the deadline for most people to file their individual income tax returns and pay any tax owed. During its processing, the IRS checks your tax return for mathematical accuracy. When processing is complete, if you owe any tax, penalty, or interest, you will receive a bill.
You must file your return and pay your tax by the due date to avoid interest and penalty charges. Often, you can borrow the funds necessary to pay your tax at a lower effective rate than the combined IRS interest and penalty rate.
Electronic payment options, available on our Payments page, are the most convenient ways for you to pay your federal taxes. However, if you decide to pay by mail, be sure to return the tear-off stub on your bill and use our return envelope, if provided. To make sure your payment credits properly to your account, please:
The IRS may abate your penalties for filing and paying late if you can show reasonable cause and that the failure wasn't due to willful neglect. Making a good faith payment as soon as you can, may help to establish that your initial failure to pay timely was due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. If you're billed for penalty charges and you have reasonable cause for abatement of the penalty, send your explanation along with the bill to your service center, or call us at
800-829-1040 for assistance (see telephone assistance for hours of operation). The IRS doesn't generally abate interest charges and they continue to accrue until all assessed tax, penalties, and interest are fully paid.
It's important that you review your notice or bill. If after reviewing it you believe there's an error, write to the IRS office that sent it to you within the time frame given or call the number listed on your notice or bill for assistance. You should provide photocopies of any records that may help the IRS address the error. If you're correct, we'll make the necessary adjustment to your account and send you a revised notice.
For more information about IRS notices and bills, refer to Publication 594, The IRS Collection Process PDF. For more information about penalties, refer to our Penalties page. For more information about penalty and interest charges, refer to Chapter 1, Filing Information, of Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax for Individuals.
A late filing fee may be imposed on a company for failing to file a required FCC Form 499-A or FCC Form 499-Q. In addition, the company is also responsible for administrative charges of collection or penalties (31 U.S.C. Section 3717). The FCC may also pursue enforcement action against delinquent companies and assess costs for collection activities in addition to those imposed by USAC.
In order to end the accrual of late filing fees, the company must submit the form that is due following the process for making form revisions. To dispute the late filing fees that have accrued, follow the instructions on the Billing Disputes web page.
If you fail to file a required tax report, the Comptroller's office will send you an estimated billing with instructions to file a report providing your actual sales data for the estimated period. Please be aware that failure to file or pay a tax report may result in collection actions including, but not limited to, additional late filing penalties, liens and criminal charges.
Statutory interest begins accruing on the 61st day after the due date of a required report. The interest rate is a variable rate determined at the beginning of each calendar year. To obtain the applicable rate for a specific tax period, please refer to the webpage titled Interest on Credits and Refunds and on Tax Due.
For most taxes, a taxpayer who fails to file reports on time will be assessed an additional penalty of $50.00 for each late report. This penalty will be assessed even if the taxpayer later files the report and/or if no taxes are due for the reporting period.
Interest is assessed on all delinquent taxes for each month or fraction of a month beginning on the first day after the due date. The interest rate is adjusted each year on January 1. The current interest rate is available on the IFTA page.
Jurisdiction Interest begins to accrue one day after the report is due through the report postmark date. Once the report is filed, additional interest accrues on any net tax due until the total net tax due is paid in full.
If you have past due balances, the Comptroller's office will send you a billing notice requesting that you pay the remaining balance. The balance is due upon receipt of the notice. This notice will outline how additional penalty and interest will be assessed. It also explains the process for requesting a hearing if you disagree with the billing notice. Lastly, it outlines the possible collection actions that the Comptroller may take to collect any delinquent balances.
Private collection services are contracted by the Comptroller's office to collect past due tax accounts. If you get a billing notice from a contracted collection agency, you should remit the balance due in the envelope provided. All payments are directed to the Comptroller's office and credited to your account.
If you fail to file a report, pay taxes, or post a security bond, the Comptroller's office may suspend any permit or license issued by this agency after conducting a hearing. You can avoid this hearing simply by filing and paying the past due period(s) and/or posting the required security bond.
If you are unable to pay the past due taxes or post the bond, you should contact your local Comptroller's field office to schedule a time for your hearing. Failure to appear at this hearing may result in the suspension of any permit or license issued by this agency.
State law requires that all past due taxes, fines, interest and penalties owed to the state must be secured by a lien. Please be aware that a tax lien could have a negative impact on your credit rating. If you are past due in the payment of your taxes, please contact your local Comptroller's field office or call
800-252-8880 to discuss your account.
In an effort to protect the state's interest, it is sometimes necessary for the Comptroller's office to seize and sell a taxpayer's non-exempt assets. If you are past due in the payment of your taxes, please contact your local Comptroller's field office or call
800-252-8880 to discuss your account.
You should immediately contact the Comptroller's Enforcement Division by visiting your local Comptroller's field office or calling
800-252-8880. Be sure to have your 11-digit Taxpayer ID number available.
While taxes are always due on the due date, the Comptroller's office will consider payment plans on a case-by-case basis to avoid placing undue hardships on taxpayers. For additional information in this regard, please contact your local Comptroller's field office.
Please be aware that even if you enter into a payment plan, your account is still considered delinquent and some collection actions will continue. For example, you will still receive billing notices, a lien will still be filed, and state warrants will still be placed on "hold".
To report a company or individual you believe is not properly remitting taxes due, you may call our Enforcement Division at
800-252-8880 or contact your local Comptroller's field office. Be prepared to give information regarding the business, such as its name, its location, its phone number, the owner's name, and a description of how the business is allegedly violating the tax law. If you choose, you may remain anonymous.
When the Comptroller's office exhausts its collection efforts, the delinquent account may be referred to the Attorney General's Office for further collection activity. After a case is referred, the Comptroller's office no longer has jurisdiction and can only get involved if specifically requested by the Attorney General.
The rate is calculated as: Prime Rate + 3%, compounded annually. At the end of each calendar year, any tax, penalties, and interest remaining due will become part of the balance on which interest is charged. For information on interest rates, see Technical Bulletin TB-21(R) .
When you do not file a return by the due date or extended due date we may assess a Late Filing Penalty. The Late Filing Penalty is 5% of the tax due for each month (or part of a month) the return is late. The maximum penalty for late filing is 25% of the balance due. We also may charge $100 for each month the return is late.
