Four Steps to Safe Harbor

Determine Prior Year Liability

Apply AGI Percentage Threshold

Compare Current Year Projections

Divide Into Equal Vouchers

Remit one-fourth of your target safe harbor amount across April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15 payment deadlines.

Locate Line 24 on your previous year's Form 1040. This baseline dollar amount anchors your underpayment penalty exemption threshold.

If prior year Adjusted Gross Income was under $150,000, target 100% of that total tax. If over $150,000 ($75,000 MFS), target 110%.

Alternatively calculate 90% of your current tax year total liability. Pay whichever benchmark yields the lower required quarterly sum.
