However, the Tn Dept of Revenue won't cut or waive interest since it is compensation for the time value of the $ while it was in your bank account (or gun safe). Anything is better than a state income tax. I have found in my dealings with the Tn Dept of Revenue that you will occasionally deal with someone with a triple digit IQ, but it looks like it wasn't your lucky day.
