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

@@benstevens2164 not a very intelligent comment. You’re that guy who has to turn everything political when it has nothing to do with the subject.

Why can they just tell you they want like 25% of what you made ?

[@patg555]

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.

[@TravisSickle]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jericodiaz]

Excellent video, very quick and easy to understand 👏

[@hanamirhaji8132]

Big thank you. I could finally calculate an estimation 🎉

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@Caesar__99]

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

[@menaguirgues8182]

Thank you Travis for this great video

[@jeanayetts6665]

This was so helpful! Thank you!

[@TravisSickle]

Glad it was helpful!

[@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?

[@PBTKaizen]

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

[@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?

[@tarabrown4105]

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?

[@lizzetterivera2324]

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

[@rosalynbrooks7195]

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

[@TravisSickle]

depends on your situation.

[@xPancakes4lyf]

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@NinaLopez-ss3oj]

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

[@TravisSickle]

Glad it was helpful!

[@darylbanquil-jg2pj]

With that example , let's say I have a capital loss of 10,000usd from my Bitcoin portfolio, I bought high and sell now , how to apply for tax harvesting? Thank You!

[@TravisSickle]

Tax harvesting is a strategy not an accounting method.

[@menaguirgues8182]

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

[@TravisSickle]

No

Does this include payroll taxes?

[@TravisSickle]

no, that is not part of your income 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?

[@TravisSickle]

Because that example was for $150k

[@linakabell]

[@davidbea3711]

i havent filed in decades cuz ive been homeless or living in homeless shelters. But i am currently inheriting a $400k distribution. Question: Can I minimize my current income tax burden over the last 5+ years of poverty. Additionally, can i spread the estate distribuion over the next 5-10 years in order to further reduce my future tax bracket?

[@mohammadrayyan7851]

Hope it's not too late, but my advice is to try to buy some property to ensure that no matter what you're never homeless again, and spend your money carefully, all the best buddy :)

[@ilovelearning2]

Actually trying to calculate how much my income is if im self employed

[@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.

[@tsoo6448]

After it all, is this the number we owe for the year?

[@mytravls]

Can anyone pls explain to me how did he get the number at $137000? I watched it twice and I’m shaking my head.

Why is everyone concerned about taxes, PERIOD!! 26 CFR 1.0-1 paragraph (d) from the IRC OF 1954 clearly says TAXABLE YEARS began December 31 1953 and ENDED AUGUST 16 1954 passed into LAW by the 83rd Congress AS LAW and published AS Volume 68A in the United States Statutes at Large for anyone to look at..... 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!!!!
