Best Answer

The interest rate charged by the IRS is based on the Federal Short-Term Rate, which is set by the Federal Reserve. The interest rate changes quarterly. It is currently 6% for individuals and 8% for corporations. Keep in mind that the IRS also charges penalties, and the penalties accrue interest as well. Because of this, most people will compare a tax liability as having an "effective interest rate" of 12-15%.
