Report Date May 27, 1998
Report No. GGD-98-96
Subject
Summary:

In 1996, about 5.9 million taxpayers were assessed almost $1.1 billion in estimated tax penalties. The Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) Taxpayer Advocate's Annual Report to Congress that same year described the estimated tax penalty rules as extraordinarily complex and characterized Form 2210, which is used to calculate estimated tax penalties, as one of the most difficult forms that taxpayers have to complete. This report identifies (1) the Internal Revenue Code and IRS administrative requirements that cause some of the complexity associated with estimated penalty calculations and (2) the likely effects of corresponding changes to the requirements that could make it easier for taxpayers to calculate their estimated tax penalties.
