(a) True
(b) False
True
Interest paid on underpayment of tax is not subject to the consumer interest limitation. The taxpayer needs to pay interest on underpayment of tax like that if the overpayment is made by the taxpayer the IRS will pay interest on the amount which is excess paid. Consumer interest is the interest on the individuals such as a personal loan or credit card debt etc. and the interest paid on underpayment of tax is not related to the consumer interest limitation. As per the general rule, the interest on underpayment of tax and interest on overpayment for the same period may provide a net interest rate as zero.
This statement is True.
