Form 2210 did not generate but TurboTax software calculated an underpayment penalty

I underpaid my estimated tax this year due to unforeseen circumstances and was expecting a penalty. Anyway, i just now did my tax return on TurboTax and it calculated a penalty of $8.00 (Line 38, Form 1040). The IRS website says if you calculate a penalty, a Form 2210 is required. But Form 2210 was not included on with the TurboTax generation of my tax return nor did i find it in one of the worksheets. I would prefer to pay the penalty up front with the Form 2210 instead of having them calculate it. But why did the TT software not produce a Form 2210? Also, if it's $8 only, i won't try to request a waiver.

It sounds like the 2210 was prepared , and paying the $8 will satisfy the IRS as full payment.

However, please check these conditions

What software do you have?
- Desktop/CD
- Online
If you have Desktop
- Go to FORMs mode
- Scan for Form 2210
- Select it and see how it is posted.
If you have the Online version
- On the left sidebar

As an alternative you can go to the main menu.

Select Tax Tools
On the drop-down select Tools
There will be 4 green boxes
Select Topics Search
Type 2210
You can then see what is posted to the 2210

Thanks for that. Found 2210. But when i print it out (to PDF) it only prints the 1st page of the form. Do you know why it won't print the 2nd page?

Please clarify your question.

What software do you have?
- Desktop/CD
- Online
In both cases, you should be able to view the entire document
There may be something in the printer settings that will only print the first page.

Please contact us again with more details
