...and I didn't have a clue. Last year I had some income from my last few paychecks and DW pension where taxes were taken out in addition to Dw SS and dividends. This year our income was DW pension, SS, and dividends. I also recently moved money from an IRA to a Roth IRA to make our income just within the 15% tax bracket. I thought I could pay the estimated taxes when I had all the information to make a proper estimate. I guess I was wrong.
Yesterday I mailed what I figured would be our taxes for this year. From what I read in a recent post on estimated taxes it looks like I may be in for a penalty charge from the IRS.
Is it necessary to pay my estimated taxes quarterly from now on or is there another option like maybe all at once on the first quarter of the year to avoid any penalty?
Cheers!
