Build a Penalty & Interest Estimator (IRS ballpark, figures only)

Claude returns one HTML file (an artifact). Enter a balance and months late → a ballpark of failure-to-file + failure-to-pay penalties and interest, each component shown, with the total and a clear “not exact — verify at IRS.gov” disclaimer. Runs offline; figures only.

Made for:ClaudeClaude Cowork
What you need

A Claude account (free tier works). No connectors. Save the file as penalty-interest-estimator.html and open it in any browser. Figures only — never names or SSNs. Ballpark estimate — confirm the current IRS interest rate and any abatement relief.

What it looks like
1. Enter figures only — unpaid balance, months late, and the current interest rate.
