Exciting news from the IRS world: Interest rates are holding steady as we dive into 2024! Here’s a fun breakdown of what that means for everyone from individuals to big corporations:
- For the Individual Taxpayer: You’re looking at a constant 8% annually for both overpayments and underpayments, calculated daily for that extra bit of precision.
- Corporate Finances: Companies get a 7% rate for overpayments, but if they’ve been extra generous and overpaid by more than $10,000, they get a slight break at 5.5%.
- Owing Uncle Sam: It’s an 8% rate for underpayments, whether you’re an individual or a company. Fair’s fair!
- The Big Corporate Players: Larger corporations, watch out! Your underpayments are attracting a 10% rate.
