While starting to gather info for my tax returns, I just discovered that my returns for the last two years omitted about $1500 in dividends from XOM, where I have a DRIP account. Don't know how I missed that since I got 1099s and I did report XOM income in earlier years (so I assume Turbotax prompted me to include it).
I guess I need to file amended returns ASAP for both years and pay the interest and penalty. The forms look like quite a hassle. I wish I could just do a rough calculation, mail a check to the IRS and state, and let them figure the exact amount. Anyone else have experience with this?
Yuck.
