When you exercise options during February, what are the guidelines for making estimated tax payments?

Hello Abe,

In short, if last year's income was less than $150,000, be sure last year's tax is paid in. If last year's income was $150,000 or more, pay in 110% of last year's tax. I'll have a more lengthy explanation in the next newsletter, or you can find it in last year's April issue.

Good luck!
