It's different in Texas.

Yall is both singular and plural as in " Yall come ", which you would
say to a man OR to a man and his dog and wife.

Yall's is possessive , as in " Yall's truck don't run good.."

I don't think Yall talk the same as us......

Yall be careful, heah ????

By darn you're right. And here's I'm one who usually
grimaces when I see a business sign with the ' inserted to
make a plural. I'll spank my hand ten times.

"Y'all's" is the singular possessive, not plural. The
plural is "all y'all" and the plural possessive is "all
y'all's".

Not quite. Y'all is plural, and y'all's is plural
possessive. "Y'all's tax return" means the same as "The tax
return belonging to y'all."

Well, yes, she said "stay at home mom", so that means married.
(or does it these days?)

Anyway, it 'pears so, hence y'all is singular and y'all's is
plural. Sort of like a plural noun. There are such.

Is "y'all's" correct in this context? After all, a married
couple is often considered, in law, to be one person....

You did not mention, but I assume you are married. If you
are, and you usually get a refund of any great amount, you
should not have to send in anything.

If you still want to, the June 15th date is already past, I
would wait until Sept. 15th to send in about 25-30% (to
cover tax and social security) of the total amount that you
earned.

I would not know which state you are from, but if you let us
know that maybe we can come up with an amount to send to
your state, also on Sept. 15th.

A "decent" salary for 26 hours would hardly cause much
additional income tax, and maybe no SE tax even. Assuming
you file a joint return with husband, his withholding just
might be more than sufficient to cover your taxes. You
just need to do the math, i..e estimate y'all's tax return
for this year in advance.

There is no need to make estimated tax payments as long as
you have paid in, this year, as much as was your tax last
year. Other safe harbors are that you have paid in at least
90% of what is your current tax year burden or that you end
up, on the bottom line, owing less than $1,000 in taxes for
the year. If that is the only work you did, I doubt that
you will have any great concern. Remember, too, that
expenses incurred, for the production of that income, are
deductible. You'll find a worksheet at the URL, listed
below, to help you in making the determination, should you
have a substantial increase in income over last year:

I'm a stay-at-home mom who used to work as a permanent
(salaried) employee of a company prior to my daughter's
birth (I terminated employment a year and a half ago). A few
weeks ago, the company contacted me to see if I would work
on a very small project for them (26 hours total) as an
independent contractor. The hourly rate was pretty decent,
so I said yes and completed the project a week and a half
ago.

This is the first time I've ever had to pay my own taxes.
I've done a bit of research on the IRS website, but one
thing I can't seem to find an answer to is when I need to
pay the taxes. What is the due date for taxes from a project
lasting 6/2 - 6/11? I'm not sure if I'll be doing any more
work for them this year or not.

Thanks for any help!
Terri
