As long as you withheld through 2021 at least the amount of tax you paid for 2020,

there is no under-withholding penalty.


There are 3 ways to avoid the penalty.

  • Owe less than $1000 at tax time
  • Pay into the system at least 90% of the tax you owe this year
  • Pay into the system at least 100% of your tax liability from last year (or 110% if your AGI is more than $150,000).
