IRS Revenue Ruling 2005-4 liberalizes the rule for interest owed on additional taxes voluntarily reported by taxpayers.

An existing regulation suspends interest accrual for individuals on taxes due if the 1RS does not notify a taxpayer of the potential liability within 18 months after the filing

of the return. This interest suspension continues for 21 days after the 1RS notifies the taxpayer of additional taxes due.

Now, Revenue Ruling 2005-4 extends the scope of the existing regulation to include additional taxes voluntarily reported by taxpayers on amended returns or in 1RS correspondence.
