Deductions & credits

The penalty is calculated based on that you received the income evenly over the whole year.  You can change the information to tell the program that a larger amount of income came in during the last part of the year and your penalty will decrease.

 

To make changes to the penalty go to:

 

  • Federal
  • Uncommon Tax Situations
  • Additional Tax Payments
  • Underpayment Penalties
