I have a client who is going to make 250K in 2023. To compute the 2023 estimated tax, should I deduct the client's drawdowns and independent contractor payments and use the net income as the business income for the estimate computation?

Thanks

I use Save As and make a What If file and use that to compute 2023 estimates. Then I can delete or add whatever may be different for 2023 without having to worry about screwing up the 2022 file. Then you can use that tax liability as your estimated amount for payment vouchers in the real 2022 file if needed.

Make sure if you do this, to uncheck the EF boxes on the What If file, so you dont get the dreaded Duplicate SSN message in Homebase.

Can I use the tax planning feature on Pro series to do the same as noted above?

What are "client's drawdowns?" Are you describing your taxpayer taking draws from their sole proprietorship (not an expense)? Or, distributions from their S Corp (not an expense)?

And is the business really the only type of taxable income this person will have?
