Penalty or Fee for Filing a Return, When a Refund Is Due
Working on my 2016 Federal tax return, and I've reached the Estimated Tax Penalty line on Form 1040.
I'll get a refund, so my guess is that I won't owe tax penalties on taxes I owe, since I don't owe any taxes for that year?
From this IRS page, sounds like I may not have any penalties/fees to pay but may lose my refund? If I do have any penalties because I didn't late file, should I put those into the Estimated Tax Penalty line?

Correct, penalties/interest are for those who failed to pay what was due on time, there's no penalty for failing to claim what the IRS owes you.

After 3 years you forfeit your refund, your 2016 return was due April 2017, so you have until the April 2020 deadline to file before you lose your refund.
