If you overpay now, you'll get a refund when you file. The IRS won't
mind.

If you underpay now, there's interest and possibly penalties when you
file.

The only time it should be an issue if you have a balance due with the
return when you file. If that's an issue, then guess high on the income
(and resulting taxes), and make some payment with the extension although
that's not absolutely necessary.

Even if I guess a estimated tax liability amount I also need to deduct
my expanses and some expanses I am not sure that is why I need the
extension to sit with an CPA. For Instance: If I put $10000 for now
but later I found that the tax liable amount is only $5000, will that
be a issue for IRS?

Well, you made the money. Was it more or less than last year (2006)?

Seriously. It's just a guess.

Granted you might not know if it was just a few dollars differences, but
you'd remember getting a buck an hour raise or that $1000 bonus.

Worst case, use last year's income numbers.

Default Hi all, How to estimate Tax liability for tax extension?



I am trying to fill up Tax extension form 4868 and I don't know how to
estimate my total tax liability (section 4 in the form) since I lost
my w2 form and still have not receive some of my income statements
from bank. Any suggestion ?
Thanks
