Can anyone answer this problem? i had an underpayment penalty. it was for $123 for underpayment of my estimated taxes. I did not do an estimate. I did time payments.

for a bank account interest earned. I got my statement from the bank after I had already filed my tases. I didn't think about doing an amended return.

Are you asking about a tax penalty on 1040 line 38? It is not about 2023 or not paying estimates. And it is just an estimate so it is possible for the IRS to recalculate it and send you a refund or a bill for more.


If you do not pay in enough tax from withholding and estimates, you may have to pay a penalty for underpayment of estimated tax. The penalty is an Estimated amount. Even if you are getting a refund you can still owe a penalty for not paying in evenly during the year. Generally, most taxpayers will avoid this penalty if they owe less than $1,000 in tax after subtracting their withholdings and credits, or if they paid at least 90% of the tax for the current year, or 100% of the tax shown on the return for the prior year, whichever is smaller. It is included in your tax due or reduces your refund.


If you get a penalty on 1040 line 38, you might be able to eliminate it or at least reduce it. You can go to Federal Taxes tab or Personal tab, under Other Tax Situations and select Start by the Underpayment Penalties. You will answer a series of questions that may reduce or eliminate the penalty. Or you can elect to have the IRS figure the penalty for you. It's form 2210.
