After 7 years of dancing and making less money this is my worst year with taxes! I had lots of problems working with the accountant I chose. She claimed to know what she was doing yet said I owed the most money I have ever owed. I told her I was going to take it elsewhere, and then she brought it down to 1/2 of what she originally said. I agreed and picked up my return. Attached were different payment vouchers for estimated tax, which I thought was payment vouchers to make installments on my 2009 tax throughout 2010. Now I am reading up on it and finding out that I have to make these payments, plus my 2009 total which I was not expecting at all. With the way things are (economically) I cannot afford to make these estimated payments. The accountant did not explain this to me and now that I am mailing out my forms I am realizing this!!
Before I call her monday I was wondering if any other dancers are paying or have ever had to pay estimated tax. I find it very odd that after 7 years I have never had to do this until now. And what does this mean for my next years taxes? Will I still have to pay the large amount plus estimated? Could I get a refund?
I am going to call this accountant tomorrow and let her know I am very upset that she did not inform me any details about this. Just handed me the return when she was done. My worst tax paying experience ever.
Anything anyone knows about this would be great! Thank you.
