From time to time the IRS News Wire puts out valuable information to help taxpayers.
This releases talks about how to make estimate tax payments.
Tips for Paying Estimated Taxes to the Internal Revenue Service:
Estimated tax is a method used to pay tax on income that is not subject to withholding. You may need to pay estimated taxes during the year depending on what you do for a living and what type of income you receive.
These tips from the IRS will provide you with a quick look at estimated taxes and how to pay them.
If you have income from sources such as self-employment, interest, dividends, alimony, rent, gains from the sales of assets, prizes or awards, then you may have to pay estimated tax.
As a general rule, you must pay estimated taxes in 2011 if both of these statements apply:
1) You expect to owe at least $1,000 in tax after subtracting your tax withholding (if you have any) and credits, and
2) You expect your withholding and credits to be less than the smaller of 90% of your 2011 taxes or 100% of the tax on your 2010 return. There are special rules for farmers, fishermen, certain household employers and certain higher income taxpayers.
For Sole Proprietors, Partners and S Corporation shareholders, you generally have to make estimated tax payments if you expect to owe $1,000 or more in tax when you file your return.
To figure your estimated tax, include your expected gross income, taxable income, taxes, deductions and credits for the year. Use the worksheet in Form 1040ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals for this. You want to be as accurate as possible to avoid penalties. Also, consider changes in your situation and recent tax law changes.
The year is divided into four payment periods, or due dates, for estimated tax purposes. Those dates generally are April 15, June 15, Sept. 15 and Jan. 15.
Form 1040ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals, provides all you’ll need to pay estimated taxes. This includes instructions, worksheets, schedules and payment vouchers. The easiest way to pay estimated taxes, however, is electronically through the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System or EFTPS. You can also pay estimated taxes by check or money order using the Estimated Tax Payment Voucher or by credit or debit card.
For more information on estimated taxes refer to Form 1040ES and its instructions, as well as Publication 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax. These forms and publications are available at http://www.irs.gov or by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).

We are comprised of Board Certified Tax Attorneys, Lawyers, CPAs and most importantly former IRS Agents, Managers and Teaching instructors that taught the Offer in Compromise Program in the local, district and regional offices of the Internal Revenue Service.
Many taxpayers have been tricked in believing they can settle for pennies on a dollar. It is a slick adverting campaign. While cases can be settled for pennies on a dollar, most cannot be.
IRS accepts about 12,000 offers in compromise a year. The very best way to check if you have case that can be accepted by the IRS is to hire a true professional tax firm and not a IRS tax mill.
Call us today and let us determine your case before you spend your money.
Below is a warning put out by the IRS.
WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today issued a consumer alert advising taxpayers to beware of promoters’ claims that tax debts can be settled for “pennies on the dollar” through the Offer in Compromise Program.
Some promoters are inappropriately advising indebted taxpayers to file an Offer in Compromise (OIC) application with the IRS. This bad advice costs taxpayers money and time. An Offer In Compromise is an agreement between a taxpayer and the IRS that resolves the taxpayer’s tax debt. The IRS has the authority to settle, or “compromise,” federal tax liabilities by accepting less than full payment under certain circumstances.
“This program serves an important purpose for a select group of taxpayers. But we are increasingly concerned about unscrupulous promoters charging excessive fees to taxpayers who have no chance of meeting the program’s requirements,” said IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson. “We urge taxpayers not to be duped by high-priced promises.”
The OIC may be considered only after other payment options have been exhausted. If taxpayers are unable to pay their taxes in full, there are other payment options, such as monthly installment agreements, that must be explored before an OIC can be submitted.
