    “Normally, taxpayers who come up short generally face no penalty if the balance due on their tax return is less than $1,000. If it’s more than that, they won’t face a penalty if they have paid — through withholding or estimated taxes throughout the year — at least 90 percent of their 2018 tax liability or 100 percent of their 2017 tax liability (110 percent for those with adjusted gross income of $150,000 or more)”

    That $1,000 figure is the same number I saw mentioned 10-15 years ago. You’d think it would be a bit higher by now.

    BTW - Time to download Turbo - or tax-prep of choice - and write out a fat check to our non-functioning government.:(
