Hello,

Is Retirement Plan late payment penalty for corporation tax deductible? I did some research and found that tax penalties are not tax deductible. But what about retirement late payment penalty?

Thank you!

Is this penalty really earnings on the amount that should have been timely contributed?

Who assessed the penalty: Plan sponsor, DOL, IRS?

Was this a late deposit of Employees' contributions?

Was it late along with the form filing?

Paid to US Treasury = penalty, nondeductible.
