  • Without last year's tax, the safe harbor is 90% of this year's tax. Enter last year's total tax to see whether paying 100% (or 110%) of it is lower.
  • The tax left after withholding is under $1,000, so no estimated payments are required for this year.

One place for the whole book

Each client keeps their filing status, income, withholding, last year's tax and the payments already made. Payments that fall short are carried into the next installment, so a letter in June shows what is needed to catch up, and a past-due installment is flagged.

The letter

A plain one-page letter: the projected tax, which safe harbor the plan is built on, the four amounts and dates, and how to pay through IRS Direct Pay or EFTPS. Print it or save it as PDF from the browser's print dialog, and edit the salutation per client.

Client data stays with you

Questions

Does it replace our tax software's estimate vouchers?
It covers the period between returns: projections that change during the year, mid-year catch-up amounts, and a schedule across all clients. The return software stays the record for the filed return.
How many clients can I keep?
5 on a free account, 50 on Starter (about $14 a month for 50 clients) and 1,000 on Pro (about $33 for 1,000). Letters and the CSV schedule are part of the paid plans.
