I needed to dig some numbers out of my 2002,2003,2004,and 2005 tax returns and noticed something funny on the estimated taxes I paid to get into safe harbor. On my federal return I paid 100% of my previous year's tax on three, and on one I paid 90%. On my NY return I paid 100% of my previous year's tax 2 years, and 90% one year.
I know now it is 100%, so I don't understand the 90%. Was it ever 90%, either federal or NY? If not, any idea WHY I paid 90%? Thanks.
