For example, you have a huge 2nd quarter you need to pay in that quarter, can't leave all of it to the final quarter. Much like people have payroll deductions with every paycheck so the IRS gets the money in a constant manner. I remember it being somewhat complicated in tax school, but I bet there is software that would make the calculations pretty easy. If you want any more advice I can brush up on the current law - From: Noelle <http://dummy.us.eu.org/noelleg> To: Tamara <http://profiles.yahoo.com/t> Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2011 6:01 PM Subject: Re: W-9 form On Tue, 29 Nov 2011, Tamara wrote: > Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 13:55:26 -0800 (PST) > From: Tamara <http://profiles.yahoo.com/t> > To: "http://dummy.us.eu.org/noelleg" <http://dummy.us.eu.org/noelleg> > Subject: Re: W-9 form > > I looked at the form just to be sure it was what I thought it was - it's > just your social security number. > For the contracting job they probably would not deduct any taxes or social > security / medicare payins.
