Jared G asked:


I owe about $6,800 in taxes this year (2008). And my tax bill says I now owe $7,062 for taxes due plus $241 in interest. The taxes I owe are based on interest/dividend income. I didn’t think you had to pay a penalty for not making quarterly payments on this type of income. I thought only businesses or self-employed had to make quarterly payments. Can someone please explain why I owe interest?
