Is paying estimated taxes generally beneficial if you’re self employed?

Living with children

Taylor Kovar

Hey Taylor - After another year of scrambling to pay taxes and wondering if I could have paid less, I’ve started looking at estimated taxes Do you know, generally speaking, if this is a beneficial option for people who are self-employed?

- Kelly

Hey Kelly - Depending on your situation, paying estimated taxes leading up to the filing year can be really helpful The only real downside is that some people think paying in advance offers some kind of loophole, which isn’t the way it works If tax season gets you down, here are three ways estimated tax payments could lower your stress

1 Pay in smaller allotments We all like paying less whenever possible, and while you won’t reduce your overall tax bill, breaking $20,000 into four payments of $5,000 can feel a lot more manageable Most people who need to pay quarterly work for themselves and selfemployment often has busy and slow seasons If you break what you owe into installments, you get to choose when and how much you pay This lets you get a little more predictive and, as long as you calculate responsibly, make larger payments when you have more cash flow available

2 Stay organized I remember my first few years of paying taxes as an adult and trying to go through a year’s worth of business earnings by memory A lot of stuff happens each year, and it’s no to keep track of all of workload shrinks a li you organize once ev months instead of on If your receipt manag the best, you’ll stand chance of finding inf that’s two months old to 10 months old The actual filing process doesn’t get easier from an IRS standpoint, but your personal filing process should be a little less daunting when you break it into three-month sections

3 Work taxes into your budget

Hopefully you already have a business budget, so adding a section for quarterly tax payments shouldn’t be too much of a stretch It might make your earnings look smaller on paper, but you can feel confident knowing you won’t have to start the year indebted to the government You might even get a bit of a return if you overpaid or had unexpected expenses It’s pretty easy to add this to your budget - just take last year’s return, divide by four and plug that amount in for April, July, October and January (or whichever months make the most sense for your situation).

Paying estimated taxes doesn’t change what you owe, it just changes your personal management If you feel like staggered payments will help you stay organized, I think it’s absolutely worth the effort Hope it works for you, Kelly!

Attention

One of the more difficult facts for today’s parents, as a rule, to wrap their heads around is the - I’ll say it again, with emphasis- FACT that children do not need (as a general rule) a lot of

I was there, working as a journeyman psychologist in a community mental health center, when the children-need-lots-ofattention myth had its genesis The professional consensus at the time (early 1970s) was that any persistent inappropriate behavior was a “cry for attention ” Said another way, the parents of the child in question were depriving him of feeling that the universe had been eagerly anticipating his arrival ever since the Big Bang The parents in question were irresponsible, neglectful; at best, lazy

This myth lives on in the form of mommy-guilt An all-too-typical mom recently told me that if she even sits down for a moment during the day to catch her breath, she almost immediately begins to feel that she’s being selfish, that she should be doing something (anything will do) for her kids – yet another example of how bad parenting advice from mental health professionals has greatly increased the perceived need for mental health professional advice

Today, the child who seems to need constant attention is interpreted as a “high needs” child, as if he was born that way when the FACT is that the child is an attention-addict He was not born an attention-addict but became such by virtue of being given entirely too much attention on demand. He demanded and he received, so he demanded more and received more; thus did his sense of well-being become attached to the notion that unless he is the center of attention, something is amiss in his world

Children need freedom – the freedom to explore, imagine, create, take things apart and put things together This freedom requires boundaries, of course, but providing them in the context of an environment that encourages exploration, etc , is more important by far than giving lots of attention Meeting a child’s need for freedomwithin-boundaries minimizes the possibility that the child will ever act (in the absence of emergencies or other unusual circumstances)

“starved” of attention

Children need to feel responsible; thus, they need responsibilities A child’s role in his family – how he “fits” into his family – is defined by responsibilities “These are your chores” is the same as saying, “These are tangible evidences of how you are important around here ”

Children need to feel safe They need to feel as if they will be adequately protected and provided for under any and all circumstances; that they have “nothing to worry about ” In order to feel safe, they need adequate supervision, but at a certain point, supervision becomes micromanagement and children need anything but that

Because they are not fundamentally oriented to do the right thing – but rather, the selfserving thing – children need unconditional love If love was conditional, lots of children would receive very little Children need to know that no matter how badly they behave, they are cherished

Because of what I said in the preceding paragraph, children need unequivocal authority as much as they need unconditional love The Beatles were wrong: love is not enough

And yes, children need attention, but like most things that begin as needs (e g water and food), the giving of attention involves a point of diminishing returns at which the attention being given becomes detrimental, even toxic It becomes equated, in the child’s mind, with love At that point, the child begins to feel “safe” only when he is the center of attention, which he begins to seek in increasingly inappropriate ways

Indeed, this can quickly become a mental health problem, but beware involving mental health professionals
