Example #1

Marlon Anderson, a single taxpayer, has 2008 TAXABLE INCOME of $110,000. Anderson's income falls between:

Between

But Not Over

Base Tax

+ Rate

Of the Amount Over

$78,850
$164,550
$16,056.25
28%
$78,850

 

 

 

 

Marlon Anderson's Estimated Taxes

  = Base Tax + (Rate x Amount Over)
  = $16,056.25 + [.28 x ($110,000 - $78,850)]
  = $16,056.25 + (.28 x $31,150)
  = $16,056.25 + $8,722.00
  = $24,778.25

Assuming he made the same amount last year, Marlon's 2008 total tax dropped $132.50 from last year, using the 2007 income tax rate table for single taxpayers.

 


 

 

Example #2

Meredith Mason, a single taxpayer, has 2008 TAXABLE INCOME of $67,000. Ms. Mason's income falls between:

Between

But Not Over

Base Tax

+ Rate

Of the Amount Over

$32,550
$78,860
$4,481.25
25%
$32,550

 

 

 

 

Meredith Mason's Estimated Taxes

  = Base Tax + (Rate x Amount Over)
  = $4,481.25 + [.25 x ($67,000 - $32,250)]
  = $4,481.25 + (.25 x $34,750)
  = $4,481.25 + $8,687.50
  = $13,168.75

Meredith also came out better in 2008 than the previous year, assuming that she earned the same income. Her total tax dropped a measly $5.00 from her 2006 tax return, using the 2007 income tax rate table for single taxpayers.
