Form 2210

1. What is a 2210 Form?

The IRS Form 2210 (Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals, Estates, and Trusts) is a federal tax form (not for business) that is used for checking out the presence of penalties for estimated tax underpayments. It also lets you figure out the penalty size if you have it. The form can be attached to your forms 1040, 1040-SR, 1040-NR, 1040-NR-EZ, or 1041, but it doesn’t have to be followed by them.
