Don't let penalties for underpaid taxes increase your tax
bill next April. Check the total you've paid in for 2016 through withholding
and/or estimated taxes. If you've underpaid, consider adjusting your
withholding for the final months of the year or increasing your remaining
quarterly estimate. If you employ household workers, be sure your calculations
include the payroll taxes you'll owe for them. Remember to include the 3.8% tax
on net investment income in your planning, too.
