Example #1

Joe McMurdoch, a married taxpayer filing his own return, has TAXABLE INCOME of $85,000. McMurdoch's income falls between:

Between

But Not Over

Base Tax

+ Rate

Of the Amount Over

$58,625
$89,325
$11,393.75
28%
$58,625

 

Joe McMurdoch's Estimated Taxes

  = Base Tax + (Rate x Amount Over)
  = $11,393.75 + [.28 x ($85,000 - $58,625)]
  = $11,393.75 + (.28 x $26,375) 
  = $11,393.75 + $7,385.00
  = $18,778.75

 

 

Example #2

Mildred Filner, a married woman who is filing her return independently of her husband, has TAXABLE INCOME of $58,000. Her income falls between:

Between

But Not Over

Base Tax

+ Rate

Of the Amount Over

$29,050
$58,625
$4,000.00
25%
$29,050

 

Mildred Filner 's Estimated Taxes

  = Base Tax + (Rate x Amount Over)
  = $4,000.00 + [.25 x ($58,000 - $29,050)]
  = $4,000.00 + (.25 x $28,950)
  = $4,000.00 + $7,237.50 
  = $11,237.50
