Can you prepay federal income taxes?

Yes, you can prepay federal income taxes through estimated tax payments. Generally, you're required to make estimated tax payments if you expect to owe at least $1,000 in tax for 2009 (after subtracting credits and withholding) and if your withholdings and credits are expected to be less than the smaller of 90 percent of the tax on your 2009 return or 100 percent of the tax on your 2008 tax return.Estimated tax payments are paid quarterly (every three months). You can make estimated tax payments by check or money order attached to Form 1040-ES (Estimated Tax Payment Voucher). Or you make an electronic payment by enrolling in the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) at www.eftps.gov or calling 1-800-316-6541 (for individuals) or 1-800-555-4477 (for businesses). Or you can make electronic payment by Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW). Or you can make electronic payment by credit card. But a convenience fee is charged for this option.If you receive salaries and wages, you ask your employer to withhold more tax from your earnings by fiiling a new Form W-4 with your employer and entering the additional amount to be withheld on Line 6 of that form.


i have 1099 income $24000. i'm single and no deduction, what's my federal tax payment for 2010 ?

“i have 1099 income $24000. i'm single and no deduction, what's my federal tax payment for 2010 ”


When your first tax payment was not timely deposited you made a second payment As they were both deposited this past week how do you go about getting a refund?

If this is a federal income tax payment, call 1-800-829-1040. If it is some other kind of tax payment, call the agency that administers the tax.


If federal tax refund is subject to garnishment what about this tax rebate?

I remember in 2001 when they last did this type of rebate check, that part of our check was kept as garnishment for student loan payment. So more then likely they can and will keep this rebate check to offset any federal payment that is due. ------------- For offset purposes, the stimulus payment is treated like any other tax refund. This means that part or all of your payment can be used to pay past-due federal or state income taxes or non-tax federal debt such as student loans and child support.
