Estimated Tax Forms 2009
November 26th, 2009
Question: form 1040 ES vouchers?
I’m trying to fill out the 2008 1040ES form given this info:
2007Federal AGI: 237,000
2007 Federal Income Tax Liability: 41,500
Anticipated 2009 withholding: 30,000I’m given a list of Estimated Tax Payments for 4/15/08, 9/15/08, and 1/15/09.
How would I fill out the first voucher that is due 4/15/09? How would I figure my amount of estimated tax I’m paying?
Okay, I mean the 2009 ES
Answer: The hard way involves estimating what the 2009 tax liability will be. If you know that amount, multiply by 90%, subtract $30,000 (the anticipated withholding), and divide the amount that is left by 4. If you do not know the 2009 tax liability, then take the 2008 tax liability, subtract $30,000 (the anticipated withholding), and divide the amount that is left by 4.
Weeding out the bad
New Yorkers who get paid to prepare other New Yorkers’ income tax returns are facing two new layers of government regulation designed to weed out the unscrupulous and the unskilled among them.
