I'm finishing a 1040 now where the taxpayer owes a few hundred dollars. The interest calulated on this amount due is less than $10. I'm wondering if anyone has noticed whether or not the IRS sends out interest due notices for amounts under $10. It seems to me there is a point where it is not economically feasible to be collecting amounts under for example $10? Does anyone know if there is such a threshold?

IRS will send a bill for $5 but won't send a second one. At the current interest rate, $100 generates 33 cents per month in interest.
