the interest is about $500, so do you think, if I file it next year, will I get late penalty?
I just don't want to get in trouble...

Go to irs.gov and download a form 1040-X--Amended tax return. Don't wait until the IRS catches up to you or else they will penalize you. The first column of the form is your original return info, the next column reflects the changes to the return (the additional interest and the additional tax) and the last column is the correct information. Depending on your tax bracket, send in the amount you calculated. IRS, bless their little hearts, will send you an interest due statement. Pay that and then you'll be complete and legal. If you live in a state that has an income tax, you will also have to amend the state return.

You need to file an amended return and include the additional income (the interest), and pay whatever extra tax you owe. There will be interest, but on $500 for a couple months it won't be much.
An amended return goes on a form 1040X, and will be mailed in.
You can't just include it with next year's return. It's 2006 income, so has to be on the 2006 return.

file an amended return. this means that you file the correct return and file it for the tax year just passed. if additional taxes need to be paid, only a minimal interest may be charged but since you are talking about bank interest of 500 it depends on what tax bracket you belong to.

I believe you can either contact the irs directly. Or just wait until next year. If they haven't already contacted you about it I do not think it is a big worry for you.
