That rate is then rounded to the nearest two-tenths of one percent. For example, the rate that is 120 percent of the applicable federal rate (compounded annually) for January 2018 is 2.62 percent. That rate is then rounded to the nearest two-tenths of one percent or 2.6 percent for purposes of IRC 7520.
