Tax site silence after hitting submit fooled me into a penalty

I clicked submit on my tax return and saw no error, so I thought it went through. Turns out the site had a bug and never sent it, leading to a late fee I had to pay. How do you make sure your online filings are really submitted?

But aren't most late fees pretty minor anyway?

Tell that to my coffee budget after my library fined me for a week (seriously, it added up fast).

My friend's "minor" late fee turned into a bill bigger than her grocery run last month.
