Example #1

Johnny and Janelle Julip, two married taxpayers, have 2010 TAXABLE INCOME of $140,000. The Mitchell's income would fall between:

Between

But Not Over

Base Tax

+ Rate

Of the Amount Over

$137,300
$209,250
$26,687.50
28%
$137,300


 

 

 

Johnny and Janelle Julip's Estimated Taxes for 2010

  = Base Tax + (Rate x Amount Over)
  = $26,687.50 + [.28 x ($140,000 - $137,300)]
  = $26,687.50 + (.28 x $2,700)
  = $26,687.50 + $756.00
  = $27,443.50

Assuming Johnny and Janelle made the same amount from the previous year, their 2010 tax bill dropped by $20, using the 2009 income tax brackets for joint married taxpayers.

 


 

 

Example #2

Melba Maple is a widow whose husband died in 2010. She has combined 2010 TAXABLE INCOME of $98,000. Her income falls between:

Between

But Not Over

Base Tax

+ Rate

Of the Amount Over

$68,000
$137,300
$9,362.50
25%
$68,000

 

 

 

 

Melba Maple's Estimated Taxes

  = Base Tax + (Rate x Amount Over)
  = $9,362.50 + [.25 x ($98,000 - $68,000)]
  = $9,362.50 + (.25 x $30,000)
  = $9,362.50 + $7,500.00
  = $16,862.50

Melba also experienced tax savings from the previous year, assuming she and her husband had earned the same amount last year. Her total tax dropped almost $13.00 over last year, using the 2009 income tax brackets for joint married taxpayers and qualifying widow(ers).
