Note: In most cases, you do not need to file Form 2210F. The IRS will figure any penalty you owe and send you a bill. File Form

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

figure your penalty. Enter the amount from line 18 on the penalty line of your return, but do not attach Form 2210F.

Reasons For Filing—If 1a below applies to you, you may be able to lower or eliminate your penalty. But

you MUST check that box and file Form 2210F with your tax return. If 1b below applies to you, check that

box and file Form 2210F with your tax return.

Check whichever boxes apply (if neither applies, see the Note above Part I):

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

of Penalty.

Your required annual payment (line 13 below) is based on your 1991 tax and you filed or are filing a joint return for either

1991 or 1992 but not for both years.

Waiver of Penalty

Prior Year Tax.—Figure your 1991 tax by

tax return. Use the same taxes and credits as

shown on lines 2, 3, 5, and 6 of this form.

If you have an underpayment on line 15, all or

casualty, disaster, or other unusual

circumstances, and it would be inequitable to

You will not have to pay the penalty or file

this form if any of the following applies:

If you did not file a return for 1991 or if

your 1991 tax year was less than 12 months,

do not complete line 12. Instead, enter the

amount from line 9 on line 13. However, see

Exceptions to the Penalty on this page.

1. You file your return and pay the tax due

2. In 1991 or 1992, you retired after age 62

or became disabled, and your underpayment

was due to reasonable cause.

2. You had no tax liability for 1991, you

were a U.S. citizen or resident for all of 1991,

and your 1991 tax return was, or would have

been had you been required to file, for a full

12 months.

Filing Status Change.—If you are filing a

joint return for 1992, but you did not file a

joint return for 1991, add the tax shown on

your 1991 return to the tax shown on your

spouse’s 1991 return and enter the total on

line 12. If you filed a joint return for 1991 but

you are not filing a joint return for 1992, see

Pub. 505 to figure your share of the 1991 tax

to enter on line 12.

a. Check the box on line 1a.

3. The total tax shown on your 1992 return

minus the amount of tax you paid through

withholding is less than $500. To determine

whether the total tax is less than $500,

complete lines 2 through 11.

b. Complete Form 2210F up to line 18

without regard to the waiver. Write the

amount you want waived in parentheses on

the dotted line to the left of line 18. Subtract

this amount from the total penalty you figured

without regard to the waiver, and enter the

result on line 18.

58, and 59; or Form 1041, line 24e.

2210F to see if you must pay a penalty for

underpaying your estimated tax.

Purpose of Form

Exception. If you and your spouse file a joint

return after the due date to replace separate

returns you originally filed by the due date,

use the amounts shown on the joint return to

figure your underpayment. This rule applies

only if both original separate returns were

filed on time.

d. If you are requesting a penalty waiver

due to a casualty, disaster, or other unusual

circumstances, attach documentation such as

police and insurance company reports.

e. If you are requesting a penalty waiver

due to retirement or disability, attach

documentation that shows your retirement

date (and your age on that date) or the date

you became disabled.

The IRS will review the information you

provide and will decide whether to grant your

request for a waiver.

3. The underpayment was caused by

adjustments made in the withholding tables

for wages you received after February 1992.

To request a waiver for an underpayment

described in either 1 or 2 above, do the

following:

For an underpayment described in 3 above,

the IRS will automatically waive the penalty

and you do not need to file Form 2210F to

request a waiver if the total underpayment for

the year resulting from these adjustments is:

● $146 or less if your filing status is single or

head of household; or

● $292 or less if your filing status is married

(filing either jointly or separately) or qualifying

widow or widower.

However, if you want the IRS to waive the

penalty because the underpayment resulting

from the adjustments to the withholding

tables is larger than this amount, or you are

filing Form 2210F for a different reason,

request a waiver in the same manner as for

an underpayment described in 1 or 2 above.
