Question: I’m trying to determine/project my total federal taxes due for 2009 and adjust my withholdings accordingly.?
I’m trying to determine/project my total federal taxes due for 2009 and adjust my withholdings accordingly. Using the 2009 federal income tax rates (10% of income under $16,700, 15% of income over $16,700 and under $67,900, etc.), do I simply calculate the amount I owe and then subtract $400 due to the stimulus package tax cut?
Answer: Yes, but be sure to use the right table for your filing status. Looks like you’re using the married/joint return table – if so, then the MWP credit is $800.
Also, it’s on TAXABLE income so be sure to subtract your standard deduction and exemptions before calculating the tax.
