I underpaid my estimated tax this year due to unforeseen circumstances and was expecting a penalty. Anyway, i just now did my tax return on TurboTax and it calculated a penalty of $8.00 (Line 38, Form 1040). The IRS website says if you calculate a penalty, a Form 2210 is required. But Form 2210 was not included on with the TurboTax generation of my tax return nor did i find it in one of the worksheets. I would prefer to pay the penalty up front with the Form 2210 instead of having them calculate it. But why did the TT software not produce a Form 2210? Also, if it's $8 only, i won't try to request a waiver.
