If I messed up and didn't use my UA CC to pay for taxes on award flight, any way to still get free checked bags benefit?

Just checked and I booked this UA award with UR.
Do Chase UR redemptions cover taxes/fees?

They have a 5am flight on yom kippur instead of the day after. Does that even make sense?
