Obviously it's a joke, but if you get it wrong, they send you the right amount and then you pay it (or they pay you). As long as you are close with your on-time payment, the interest is very reasonable on small differences. It's probably cheaper than paying for turbotax if you would have to pay for that.


The best is the 50 cent check in the mail… literally the postage cost more to deliver the return check.


Tax is rounded to the nearest dollar though.


I can confirm I’ve received a check for $0.01 from the IRS. My understanding is it was because of miscalculation of interest owed.
