24 January 2016 The ACES site has a bug - it does not differentiate between the original return and revised return. On filing the revised return the system treats it as the original return filed. Late fee is payable only for delay in filing the original return and not revised return. Since you have already paid the late fee for the delayed period of original return, no further late fee is payable by you.
