544.0. "1993 IRS Tax Penalty Question" by DECWIN::HURLEY () Fri Aug 06 1993 13:02

I was reading in Money magazine that if the presidents new Tax Bill
passes you can't be penalized for this years tax bill if you underpay.

Is this true in all cases?

The reason I ask is that last year I had to pay extra in April
but I was not penalized because the previous year I did not have
a tax liability.  This year I've been paying extra taxes because
I don't want to be penalized, should I stop paying these extra
taxes if the tax bill passes?

Thanks,
John

	Re .0 John, I think the lack of penalty only applies if you're in one of the tax brackets that were hit by the increase. If your tax rate isn't changing (and it's over $140K for couples [I forget the singles break point] that the new rates kick in), then the penalty amnesty doesn't apply to you, and you should continue to pay your estimated taxes. -- Andrew
