Generally, you do not need to file Form 2210-F. The IRS will figure any penalty you owe and send you a bill. File Form
2210-F only if one or more of the boxes in Part I apply to you. If you do not need to file Form 2210-F, you still can use it
to figure your penalty. Enter the amount from line 16 on the penalty line of your return, but do not attach Form 2210-F.
