Tax Trails - Do You Have to Pay Estimated Tax?
Do you expect your income tax withholding and refundable credits* for the current year to be at least 100%** of the tax shown on your prior year's tax return?
Note: Your prior year return must have covered a 12-month period.
*Use the refundable credits shown on the 2013 Estimated Tax Worksheet, line 13b of Form 1040-ES (PDF), Estimated Tax for Individuals.
**Use 110% if less than two-thirds of your gross income for the current and prior year is from farming or fishing and your prior year's adjusted gross income was more than $150,000 ($75,000 if your filing status for the prior year is married filing a separate return).
