Generally, you do not need to file Form 2210-F. The IRS will figure any penalty you owe and send you a bill. File Form

2210-F only if one or more of the boxes in Part I apply to you. If you do not need to file Form 2210-F, you still can use it 

to figure your penalty. Enter the amount from line 16 on the penalty line of your return, but do not attach Form 2210-F.

Part I Reasons for Filing. Check applicable boxes. If none apply, do not file Form 2210-F.

A You request a waiver. In certain circumstances, the IRS will waive all or part of the penalty. See Waiver of Penalty on 

page 1 of the instructions.

B You filed or are filing a joint return for either 2008 or 2009, but not for both years, and line 10 below is smaller than line 7 

below.
