Experts give tax advice

Accountants)
Money -- there never seems to be
enough to go around. Whether it's to
make ends meet or just to live a little
better, a lot of folks have found a lot of
honest ways to come by extra cash.
As with all good things, extra money
has its price. The price is extra income
tax; the trick to paying extra taxes is to
stay a jump ahead of them. If you don't,
you may find that April holds a very
unpleasant surprise for you - an over-
whelming income tax bill. How do you
stay ahead of those taxes from extra in-
come?
Wage earners who take a second job
for regular wages usually can count on
the tax withholding system to cover
most of the additional income tax
they'll owe. Some people, however,
may find themselves in a higher tax
bracket. They might want to increase
their tax withholdings by giving either
or both of their employers a revised
form W-4, "Employee's Withholding
Allowance Certificate."
Millions of people, however, earn ex-
tra cash that is not subject to the "pay-
as-you-go" tax withholding system.
Americans from all walks of life earn
extra cash by selling piasticware,
cosmetics, encyclopedias or household
to know about estimated taxes. Many
retirees receive taxable pensions from
which no tax is withheld. You may own
stock which pays regular dividends.
Each year hundreds of people hit that
once-in-a-lifetime state lottery or
magazine sweepstakes prize. Thotumn-.
ds are clever enough to walk away from
TV quiz shows with cash and merchan-
dise. Many vacationers beat the odds at
gambling resorts.
No matter where the money comes
from, if it isn't taxed at the source
before you get it you may be obliged to
make estimated tax payments. It's not
a choice; it's the law.
The average employee who has tax
withheld each pay period and a few ad-
ditional dollars in income from a
savings account -- maybe even a $50
prize won in a lottery or at a bingo
game -- will not have to worry about
estimated taxes.
But those taxpayers who receive sub-
stantial amounts of income from which
no tax is withheld do need to be concer-
ned. Here is a rule of thumb: Don't end
up owing more than $100 at tax time or
you could be penalized.
Although there are exceptions,
failure to make sufficient estimated tax
payments may result in a penalty that
cannot be waived for any reason. The,
penalty on unpaid estimates tax owedl
