The interest rates the Internal Revenue Service uses will go up for the quarter beginning April 1, the agency said.
The rates will be:
- 4% for overpayments (3% in the case of a corporation);
- 1.5% for the portion of a corporate overpayment exceeding $10,000;
- 4% for underpayments; and,
- 6% for large corporate underpayments.
The rates are determined quarterly.
For taxpayers other than corporations, the overpayment and underpayment rate is the federal short-term rate plus three percentage points. Generally, in the case of a corporation, the underpayment rate is the federal short-term rate plus three percentage points and the overpayment rate is the federal short-term rate plus two percentage points.
The rate for large corporate underpayments is the federal short-term rate plus five percentage points. The rate on the portion of a corporate overpayment of tax exceeding $10,000 for a taxable period is the federal short-term rate plus one-half (0.5) a percentage point.
The latest rates are computed from the federal short-term rate determined during January 2022 to take effect Feb. 1, based on daily compounding.
