1099-INT Received from IRS for 2021 AFTER Taxes filed

Hi, All:

 

Remember the reworked taxes last year where the IRS revised the taxes and some (maybe all) tax payers got additional money back?  Well, I received a 1099-INT from the IRS for the interest they paid me (for holding onto the money then refunding more...).

 

Anyway - I had what I thought were all of my tax forms and submitted taxes online last week (24 January).  I received the 1099-INT from the IRS today.  I recalculated the addition of the Interest, and it doesn't change the amount of refund (interest is less than $20)

 

Should I revise my tax form?  Wait till I get the refund then revise?  Don't worry about it?

Form 1040-X Amended Return will not be released and ready to use until approximately 2/24/2022.  At least that is the date shown on the availability chart as of today.

 

Even though it is unlikely to make a material difference in your tax return, filing an amended return for Federal and your state is advised so that you will have filed a complete return reporting all income.

Don't worry about $20 ... the IRS will not bother you for that small amount.

Received a form today from the IRS for interest they paid me for 2021. I was totally unaware they paid me any interest. I have already filed my return. It was for $22.05. Do I need to file an amended return?

@LennyG3 Yes, since the IRS sent you this statement, you should file an amended return just to be safe. You will to wait until 02/24 to file your amended return plus it does need to accepted by the IRS before filing the amendment.

Dave F1006,

    May I ask why I should wait until 2/24/22?

The main reason is the amendment process will not be functional until then   AND   your original return must be fully processed and the original refund in hand.

...ANNNND,

..........in the next 3 or 4 weeks, you may discover some other tax forms you forgot about or didn't remember were still yet to be issued.  Brokerage&Mutual fund forms commonly aren't issued until sometime in February. And some REIT's?  March
