Educate your clients, employees and partners about estimated taxes
The U.S. tax system is pay-as-you-go. Taxes must be paid as income is earned or received during the year. Help us teach the nearly 10 million taxpayers that faced an estimated tax penalty last year how they can prevent these penalties.
You can help by informing taxpayers how they can adjust paycheck withholding amounts or make estimated tax payments.
Also remember, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted in December 2017, changed the way tax is calculated for most taxpayers, including those with substantial income not subject to withholding.
