If a taxpayer fails to make an installment payment, the total amount of unpaid taxes is due, not just the amount of the installment, and interest is calculated on the total unpaid amount from the due date of the first installment.

3. The taxpayer has not previously been granted an exemption from paying interest and penalties on a late installment because of a medical emergency.
