Thank you, Paul and Nan. I feel better now. I'll get those
taxes filed right away.

interest and penalties are computed as a percentage of the
amount owed. I wouldn't worry too much about how much would
accrue on a $10 balance due.

Without the Regs at hand, top of my head is: a 50% penalty
based on $10 is all of $5.

Plus, of course, interest for the two years at 5 to 6% .....
I wouldn't call it substantial.

Yes, you will owe a late fee (late filing and late payment).
The really bad part is, even at 100% penalty rates (which
they aren't), you'll owe another $10. I'd just send in the
return with the computed $10 and see if you ever get a
notice for the other couple of bucks. They may not send
anything out.

Default Will I owe a late fee for 2003?

I've just now completed my taxes for 2003 and 2004 and am
ready to file them. I'm due a refund for 2004, but owe about
$10 for 2003.

My concern is with 2003. Obviously, I'm not worried about
the $10. However, will I owe late fees? If so, since I'm two
years late in filing, could there be substantial penalties?
