What problem does it solve?

This skill helps individuals and advisors plan and project federal estimated tax obligations for the current year, ensuring timely payments and avoiding penalties.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Compute current-year estimated tax using the Form 1040-ES worksheet, including standard deductions, QBI, SE tax, NIIT, and Additional Medicare Tax.
• Apply safe harbor rules (90% of current tax, or 100%/110% of prior-year tax) to determine required annual payments and installment amounts.
• Generate four quarterly vouchers and payment-channel guidance, with default to IRS Direct Pay and options for EFTPS, card payments, or paper vouchers.
• Flag when income is uneven across the year and reference Form 2210 Schedule AI for annualization as needed.

Quick Start

Input the tax year, filing status, prior-year totals, and current-year projections to generate the four quarterly vouchers and withholding guidance.
