IRS Interest Rates

6/4/2015

0 Comments

 
The IRS has just announced that their interest rates are remaining the same for the 3rd Quarter of 2015.  These interest rates are as follows:

  • three (3) percent for overpayments [two (2) percent in the case of a corporation];
  • one-half (0.5) percent for the portion of a corporate overpayment exceeding $10,000
  • three (3) percent for underpayments; and
  • five (5) percent for large corporate underpayments.

IRS Newswire Issue Number IR-2015-84 also provides the following information:
Under the Internal Revenue Code, the rate of interest is determined on a quarterly basis.  For taxpayers other than corporations, the overpayment and underpayment rate is the federal short-term rate plus 3 percentage points. 

Generally, in the case of a corporation, the underpayment rate is the federal short-term rate plus 3 percentage points and the overpayment rate is the federal short-term rate plus 2 percentage points. The rate for large corporate underpayments is the federal short-term rate plus 5 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) of a percentage point.

The interest rates announced today are computed from the federal short-term rate determined during April 2015 to take effect May 1, 2015, based on daily compounding.
