On Screen 8, make sure you enter a Filing date.  Then scroll down to the Late Return Penalty & Interest section and enter a 1 for Late filing of return (1=automatic) and/or Late payment of tax (1=automatic) as applicable.  These penalties will then be computed automatically.  If you want interest added, you will need to plug that in on the line for Interest (1=automatic).

The summation of these will show on the bottom of the return, with a reference to the breakdown on a statement.  And the detailed computations will be included as part of the Worksheets.

If you preview the return, you can also click on the links for Worksheet and Statement to view the same details as would be printed.

I figured that would be a follow up question. 😀
