Deductions & credits
For 2022 and 2023 I ended up doing what I had written about last year: Added up my SALT amounts for each period and wrote a formula in Excel to take the smaller of my SALT amount or $10,000/X with X being the annualizing factor. For me, the important thing about annualizing is that I get a disproportionate amount of taxable income in the fourth quarter and want to wait until the last minute to pay. I just didn't want to mess up annualizing the deductions and raise a red flag. Anyway, for 2023 it turns out I'll be taking standard deduction.
For 2023 I tracked taxable income including qualified dividends and long term capital gains in Excel and then went to Turbo Tax 2022 and used the estimate tax tool for 2023. I made changes each quarter as needed. If you put in the payments you already made it recalculates the next quarter. Then in January 2024 I used TT2023 to figure out the fourth quarter payment. I didn't have all of my 1099s but I could figure out the amounts based on what I had already tracked during the year.
Can't help you with AMT.
