IRS Amended Return

Post by elgoog »

Hi,

I amended my IRS 1040-NR return last year in September since I had to forgotten to include a small amount. The additional tax I owed to the IRS was about $200, which I promptly paid. I understand that the tax due date was in May of last year.

My amended return was processed last week and they charged a small interest on the $200 for late payment. The interest is not much but I was just curious if there is any way to take this off?

Thank you.

No. You under-reported your income, so were charged interest from April to the time you paid.

This is normal.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
