看到前面有补税罚款，我家每年都有罚款，比如2023年收入20万，turbotax 给出了预计2024年每季度的缴税额，但

好像要按给你的schedule 交然后退税

我是12月份补交税但这两年都要交200左右的补税罚款额

我连续十多年每年需要补税也没有被罚款,哈哈

只要不需要补税，应该就没有罚款

我记得如果补交税款<1000,或者预交税款不少于去年的税款就不需要罚款。

那你是怎么做到的呢

每年都补缴税超过1000以上，所以要付利息或者叫罚款？

me neither. 所以不理解怎么会被罚款。

就是下面的贴里说的, 每年交的税比去年的多.

see the IRS rule

Use the Safe Harbor Rule: To avoid underpayment penalties, you can aim to meet one of the IRS's safe harbor rules:

90% Rule: Pay at least 90% of your current year's tax liability through withholding or estimated tax payments. 100% of Prior Year's Tax Liability: If your adjusted gross income (AGI) was less than $150,000 ($75,000 if married filing separately) in the prior tax year, you can avoid penalties by paying at least 100% of your prior year's tax liability through withholding or estimated tax payments. 110% of Prior Year's Tax Liability: If your AGI was $150,000 or more ($75,000 if married filing separately) in the prior tax year, you can avoid penalties by paying at least 110% of your prior year's tax liability through withholding or estimated tax payments.

如果超过1000就要预交去年的应缴税款。我都是按Turbotax给我算的预交

华尔街要到年底才知道奖金多少，奖金又往往是base salary 的几倍，怎么补税免罚款？

花街是年底前告诉你奖金数，但是多数是过了年才发的。算明年的收入。

我们家孩子去年12月底发的奖金。

use 2024 estimate income to calculate estimate tax

see inside IRS link

我家收入一直乱七八糟，不到年底不知道是多少，我反正年底之前算一下，先交几万

Jan 15之前再算一下，看看不够再交点。4/15日之前和CPA大致算一下，交点钱然后延税表格交上去，然后等10月15号把细节都做好报税，有的时候能拿点回来，还有利息，有的时候要交一点点，没罚款过。

你做得很好
