Estimated Tax Underpayment Penalty - Software Update and Report (Drake22)



Drake22: Why did the 2210 penalty calculation change? Can I run a report showing the list of affected taxpayers?

 

We released 1040 update 28 on March 29, 2023 that corrected a calculation error in the Form 2210 penalty calculation.

  • If you submitted a 2022 Form 1040 return prior to March 29, 2023 that contained Form 2210, no further action is necessary. The IRS will send refunds to taxpayers to correct the error.
  • If the return has not yet been e-filed, please recalculate the return and review it for accuracy. If penalty amounts differ, have the taxpayer(s) sign a new Form 8879 prior to e-filing.

  2. Click Edit Report.
