How to calculate 2022 estimated taxes?

[JB_tax_man]

I've already filed and paid my 2021 taxes. Other than editing, amending my 2021 tax forms, what method can I use to estimate and file my 2022 taxes?

To prepare estimates for next year you start with your current return, but be careful not to change anything.  If you can't get back into your return, Click on Add a State to let you back into your retun.

You can just type W4 in the search box at the top of your return , click on Find. Then Click on Jump To and it will take you to the estimated tax payments section. Say no to changing your W-4 and the next screen will start the estimated taxes section.

Or Go to….

Federal Taxes or Personal (Deskop H&B)

Form W-4 and Estimated Taxes - Click the Start or Update button

The 1040ES quarterly estimates are due April 18  June 15, Sept 15 and Jan 17, 2023.  Your state will also have their own estimate forms.

Here are the blank Estimates and instructions (the actual 1040ES forms are at the very bottom so scroll way down)

You can pay directly on the IRS website https://www.irs.gov/payments

Be sure to pick the right kind of payment and year.....2022 Estimate

Thank you. Won't this method use my income and data from tax year 2021 return? My 2022 income will be 1/4 of what it was in 2021. I appreciate your help.
