But just try living on social security. It isn't easy, but at least I do not have to dread April 16 any longer.

Calculate your taxes based on your previous year's tax and pay close to that, or at least 90% of it.

I try to pay exactly what I owe out of each check. I don;t want to give them any money and I do not want to owe more at the end of the tax year.
