The Planner includes tax payments in your expenses.
Taxes portrayed in the Insights > Tax > Estimated Taxes Chart represent the current year's taxes.
Taxes portrayed in the Insights > Income and Expenses > Estimated Expenses Chart represents the prior year’s estimated tax liability.
In most years you should be able to match the tax liability from one year's Insights > Tax > Estimated Tax Chart liability projection with the tax liability of next year's Income and Expenses > Estimated Expenses Chart. However, in years where unordinary events occur like if your income drops or increases significantly within a year, you will see more variability in the tax projections the following year due to an annual adjustment similar to a tax refund or payment due the IRS.
Boldin utilizes proprietary methods to reasonably estimate taxes and therefore tax estimates should only be considered directional. As needed, consult a tax professional for more precise tax estimate, payment, and filing requirements if you want more precise values.
