To pay taxes from my severance pay in DC

[MMQ]

Hi,

How can a person pay taxes on severance pay amount, when an employer leaves it up to an employee? And how does it apply to a foreigner?

Thank you!

Hello MMQ!

You can use our tax calculator to estimate how much you owe or use the tax tables to determine the amount. Here are links to both resources for free:

• https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/calculators/w4/

• https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/income-taxes/federal-tax-rates-2021/L5Iz...

Depending on your status here in the US, you may file as a resident or non-resident. Please see the following link to determine this. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/determining-an-individuals-tax-residency-sta... 

After you determine what you owe, you may make a payment to the government at :https://www.irs.gov/payments 

I hope this helps.

Thank you for using TurboTax Live!
