Taxpayer has a penalty on her tax return, is that penalty amount included in Form 1040 Line 37 or do we add the penalty to the amount of tax owed on Line 37?

LOOK at the tax return, look at lines 24 and 33 and do the math.

Check the box on Form 2210 to let IRS figure the penalty.  For that amount, they won't.
