IRS Penalty Fees for Bounced Checks The fee for checks up to $1,249.99 is $25 or the check amount (whichever is the lesser amount). Checks more than $1,250 incur the penalty of 2% of the check amount. This means that a check between $25 and $1,250 will incur a penalty of $25.

For checks less than $25, you will get a penalty for the amount of the check. So if your $20 check bounced, you’ll now owe the IRS $40. For checks between $25 and $1,250: a flat penalty of $25. If you filed your taxes on April 15 and your check bounced, you will be liable for late-payment penalties on your tax debt.
