irs interest rates

As of April 1, 2022, the IRS raised its interest rates for the quarter. These changes apply to quarterly taxpayers, such as corporations and self-employed filers.

The IRS announced the new rates as follows:

  • 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

How higher IRS interest rates affect your liability

Liabilities accrue interest over time, so it’s likely that an outstanding balance will be affected if you are not in compliance with the IRS. The interest rate would be the short-term rate plus 3% on your liability.
