How to estimate your personal income taxes

[@lisaboston9162]

OMG why has it taken me weeks to find someone who can explain this simply?!! Thanks 👍

[@TravisSickle]

Welcome!

[@cheeseburger6001]

I don’t understand why this isn’t taught in schools.

[@TravisSickle]

I don’t know either! 😎🤪

[@benstevens2164]

Because young ppl wouldn't blindly vote Democrat

[@nickmccall7245]

It is taught in school it’s called Personal finance for when I was in it

Finally! Someone who explained it without talking to hear themselves speak

[@joeyp9051]

Man this was soooo helpful to me. I used this and the business and personal extension filing. You're awesome man! Keep up the good work.

[@rockfish6766]

Good job! You labeled the video properly and addressed the topic. ( That should be what most videos do, but they do not.)

[@singlemom1089]

This is so much easier to understand and insanely useful. Thank you love.

Does this apply to state taxes as well? Do we have to estimate state taxes?

[@menaguirgues8182]

Thank you Travis for this great video

[@adamaponte8850]

super insightful!! thank you!

[@TravisSickle]

You're so welcome!

[@daysirosales2731]

Is this the same calculation for employers to calculate employee’s Fed tax withholding? If so, do you take the estimated tax and decide by pay periods?

[@dailydreamer5639]

Hello, thank you for this video. One question plz: I earned as an independent contractor $6,375.88 from September 2023 to January 5, 2024. How much money do I owe the IRS as estimate tax? And when I am gonna pay, which tax year to mention? 2023 or 2024? Waiting for your response. Thank you so much.

[@WideSpectrum]

Would also like to see the example with the 401k taken into account

[@TravisSickle]

that's a good suggestion. I wrote it down for a future video thank you!!!

[@user-ms3es1wn2u]

How much of a percentage do you try to deduct from your home taxes? I am in Harris county, in Houston, Texas. My appraised came to $229,037. How do I determine how much of a percentage I can lower when disputing the value?

[@PennyAreieta]

Hi Travis, could you please help show me how to calculate my incone. Let say I got 60k and how to calculate it to know me net?

[@tarabrown4105]

This was very helpful🎉

[@TravisSickle]

welcome!

[@PBTKaizen]

so the tax table is what tells you how much fed income tax you will pay post the standard deduction...correct?

[@mikaalawais5762]

Super helpful, indeed! I'm wondering if there's only federal tax owed by people earning employment income as this video only covers how much federal tax is owed by an employee. However, as someone who's struggling to get it's head around net payable tax in Ontario, I'm not sure if this shows the full picture of what total tax liability looks like. My annual gross income is CAD $66K and according to this video, the tax payable is $4160 (i'm married so will use the relevant bracket). However, the tax already deducted on paystub for the tax year 2023 is $13k. I don't think that government owes me the difference $8,840 ($13k-$4,160). In addition to $4,160, which is federal tax, I know for sure there is provincial tax payable as well. Okay, but then, is there any third item or more on the list that employees have to pay on their employment income other than Federal & Provincial tax? If so, what are those and how do we calculate them?

[@TravisSickle]

more complex question than this video was made to answer.

[@SreysrosTakeo]

I tried to find it at the moment this page is been working on, so it is not available 😔

[@xPancakes4lyf]

is this just to calculate how much federal tax you owe for the year? or overall tax?

[@jeremygonzalez94]

If I file 1099 as well but I didn't really make much doing door dash or uber about 700-1k for each my question is do I need to file those 1099s this year or can I wait to do the 1099s until next year since what I made is very miniscule and I'm forsure going to make alot more this year doing widespread so it would make sense in my head to do it all together with next year ? Hopefully someone has an answer and id appreciate some clarification please

[@lizzetterivera2324]

you should explain next time who qualified for head of household & whom for single? thx!

[@WalletInvestUSA]

So basically we have to subtract the standard deduction 2024 ($14600) from the total amount (box 1). And then check in that list online how much we'll have to pay in taxes?

[@ricardodeasis4998]

Is this just for Federal taxes

[@desireemosher2719]

BIG Thank you for a nice and simple explanation 😊. Very helpful 👍

[@TravisSickle]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Blasterchik]

So after finding you taxable income, then finding the amount that tax will cost you, do u subtract what you've already paid in federal and state taxes or?

[@TravisSickle]

Yes, but this is only federal calculations so not state.

[@NinaLopez-ss3oj]

Thank you very much so much for this video. Very instructive.

[@TravisSickle]

[@mitchellkuharski5735]

If my taxable income every year is 7,576, then how come I only get around 2,800 back out of the taxable income filing single? It’s the same every year. My friend gets the same pay as me with 2 kids and he gets a little over 10,000 back every year

[@Abbycare-g4j]

Hi. My tax preparer told me i qualify for 1700$ only in tax return cos i earned 13000$. Therefore as head of house hold with 2 dependents i do not get any refund on rhe dependents is this true? How do I get a bigger tax refund.

[@mike-ej9hz]

Does this include payroll taxes?

[@TravisSickle]

no, that is not part of your income taxes.

[@paulcali08]

I'm now retired and have only IRA distributions and savings/CD interest as income. Since these amounts will vary throughout the year, can I just estimate my taxes that were due for the previous quarter, and pay the IRS? No guess work...just look at what my income was the previous few months and pay by that quarters deadline?

[@sonyafromtheh6225]

Thank you so much!

How much taxes should be held out per paycheck. I have changed my W4 and still owe in taxes.

[@TravisSickle]

depends on your situation.

[@JerryLL]

Let's say I'm retired and not paying social security or medicare taxes, would this 15% taxes only cover Federal tax, if so, what percentage would go to state tax?

[@TravisSickle]

This is only federal.

If I am renting a house, could the rent be subtracted from the tax?

No

[@rickyjames2508]

I see why people try and hide their money, jheeze! But great explanation.

[@zachpeifer9535]

Is this accurate for self-employed too?

[@TravisSickle]

Federal income taxes are the same. Self employed taxes are equivalent to FICA for w2. So yes, it’s accurate for federal taxes.

[@joanaw.1379]

I didn’t understand the math you did in 4:00. Could you please explain why it is 137 instead of 87k?

i havent filed in decades cuz ive been homeless or living in homeless shelters. But i am currently inheriting a $400k distribution.

Additionally, can i spread the estate distribuion over the next 5-10 years in order to further reduce my future tax bracket?

The sad thing you're only talking about the paycheck you're not talking about every time you go to the grocery store and pay taxes on that and anytime you spend money you get taxed again on the same money they taxed from your paycheck and you pay property taxes come the end of the year the money that you brought home about a third of it is paid out in taxes

AS LAW!!!!....NOT some stupid IRS "rule." Any Subtitle F compliant enforcement provisions took effect the day AFTER the date of ENACTMENT which was August 17 1954 but on that day there was NO TAX TO ENFORCE AS the tax died expired the day before which was August 16 1954!! There HAS NOT been a lawful legal ENFORCEABLE INCOME TAX in this country for 70 YEARS!!!!
