Hi,
I earned a saving bank account interest of $27. I forgot to add that in my federal as well as state returns. What are the consequences I’m facing. What are the probability to get audited for this one.
I didn’t get form 1099 from my bank. What should I do now?

You can call the IRS to clear it up but you more than likely won’t even pay tax on that. Its not enough to even bother with.
This is almost too minor to bother with, and might make no difference anyway. However, the safest thing to do would be to file a form 1040X, amended return, and add the $27 as interest. Not really a problem at all. If there is any additional tax it would be pennies.
You can call the 1-800 # for IRS and ask them the question. They can tell you exactly what you should do if anything at all.
Just call them toll free @ 800-829-1040 and explain the problem
two options
file an amended return or do nothing an hope you don’t get audited.
