and enter the difference here.
LINE 20, Penalty. If the original return was not filed by its due date and line 19 indicates a tax due, compute a penalty for
failure to file in a timely manner as follows:
•
Compute the number of months or fraction of a month from the due date of the original return to the date the
amended return is filed;
•
Multiply the amount due on line 19 by 5% per month or fraction of a month as determined above; and
•
Limit the total penalty to 25% of the amount on line 19.
Additional penalties may be imposed for:
•
Failure to file a return and pay tax due on or before the due date;

amount of deposits or net financial income;
•
Preparing or filing a fraudulent return; or

Line 21, Interest Due. Compute interest at the statutory rate of 3%
(Revenue Ruling
99-12-1) on the additional tax due

is issued to the taxpayer within 90 days after the last date prescribed for filing the return.
Line 22, Balance Due. Payment of tax, penalty, and interest due may be made electronically.
