I'm trying to figure out if I can avoid having to do estimated tax
payments, simply by having tax withheld from annuity payments
(reported on 1099-R).
I recall a rule that applied when withholding from wages on a W-2,
that said amounts withheld were considered to be withheld evenly
over the entire year, even if they weren't really withheld evenly.
For example, if you saw you were heading towards an underpayment
penalty, you could increase your W-2 withholding dramatically for,
say, the last two pay periods of the year, and be fine.
I'm wondering if this same rule applies to other kinds of withholding,
specifically that from an annuity reported on 1099-R forms.
I've perused Publication 505 and can't seem to find an answer -
but, I can't find the rule I recall for W-2 withholdings either.
