IRS Confirms Steady Interest Rates for Taxpayers in Quarter 1 of 2026

The IRS keeps all tax interest rates unchanged for Q1 of 2026, with individuals maintaining a 7% rate for both payments. Companies remain at 6% for overpayments, 4.5% for overpayments above $10,000, 7% for underpayments, and 9% for large corporate underpayments.

These interest rates are based on the federal short-term rate from October 2025 and follow last year’s first rate deduction since 2020. Quarterly adjustments remain guided by IRC formulas assigning different add-ons for individual, corporate, and large corporate balances.

Cool Accounting Facts!

DYK the earliest tax records were chiseled over 4,000 years ago?

Back then, scribes tracked grain, cattle, and oil taxes using stone slabs like the nilometer to calculate ancient levies, making them the world’s first auditors.

Picture a scribe under the blazing sun, etching hieroglyphs into stone, tallying farmer’s dues. Taxpayers grumbled, while scribes kept perfect records.

Even 5,000 years ago, taxes weren’t optional, but they sure were documented!

Trump Removes IRS Nominee After Backlash over Democrat Relations

President Trump withdrew Donald Korb’s nomination after Laura Loomer attacked his previous donations to Trump rivals, alleged Democratic ties, and linkage with Kevin Salinger. Loomer mentioned her criticism triggered withdrawal, and the White House gave no explanation.

Korb also faced Senate concerns over the IRS’ readiness to implement the One Big Beautiful Bill amidst major staffing problems. With Scott Bessent now the seventh acting commissioner this year, lawmakers warned the agency’s instability persists regardless of leadership changes.
