Question

For my 2018 federal return, I paid a fee because I owed too much taxes. I have amended my 2018 return and getting a refund of $5,978. Can I get the IRS to refund fee?

Underpayment penalties from the original tax return are not entered on the amended tax return. You only enter the amount of taxes paid from the original return (if any), not any penalties or interest paid.

Level 15

If you paid the original balance due with the penalty that TT calculated then it cannot usually be refunded ... mail in the amended return to see if the IRS will automatically refund the penalty ... if they do not you can seek an abatement later.
