After you file

When you view your 2022 Federal 1040 tax return, do you see the $188 on line 38?

 

If so, the $188 is an underpayment penalty.

 

You are assessed an underpayment penalty for 2022 if you owe $1,000 or more in taxes (after withholding) and:

 

  • Your taxes withheld do not cover at least 90% of what you owe for 2022, or
  • Your taxes withheld are not at least 100% of what you owed for your 2021 taxes, if your adjusted gross income (AGI) is up to $150,000, or
  • Your withholding is 110% if your AGI is more than $150,000. (The AGI amount is $75,000 if you're married filing separately.)

IRS form 2210 Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals, Estates and Trusts may be found here:
