The interest on my savings was less than $5.00 for 2015, 2016 and 2017. I didn't report it in 2015 and 2016. Do I have to amend my 2015 and 2016 tax return?

After you file
Yes you should prepare an amendment for your 2015 and 2016 returns as the IRS expects taxpayers to report all income-unless your interest was below $.50.
However, when you amend, if the result does not make a difference, you can disregard it.
If the result does change, print and mail the amendment (it cannot be e-filed) and allow about 16 weeks for processing.

Do claim your interest income for 2017 if it is over $.50.
