How Much Estimated Tax Do I Owe On The Taxable Part Of My Fellowships?

February 14th, 2010 by admin | 2 Comments | Filed in life logistics

So I am a grad student and i’ve received some fellowships for the coming academic year. They are as follows:
$7500
$10530
TOTAL: $18300 (all of it taxable because it will go toward living expenses)
So, according to my calculations for Federal Estimated Tax (form f1040es), my standard deduction is $10,700 (married filing jointly) and I can claim two personal exemptions, one for myself and one for my husband: $6800. The total amount I can deduct from my gross income is therefore: $17500.
Thus, subtracting $17500 from $18300 = $800 in taxable income. I would therefore not have to pay any estimated tax because the amount is below $1000. This just doesn’t seem right to me. That would essentially mean that i would be walking away with $18300 tax free. Also, I have a salaried job that I’ve netted $12000 from and the federal govt has taken out about $3000 from. Can somebody please explain this tax mystery to me?
Thanks!

How Much Money Will Be Taxable From A Divorce Settlement?

January 5th, 2010 by admin | 1 Comment | Filed in divorce

Last year, my ex-wife and I agreed on the settlement of our house after our divorce, which is 50/50. She and I agreed not to sell the house (unless she buys me out right before then) until my last child turns eighteen, which will be in 11 years. I was given $25,000 last year upfront from my ex-wife as part of the settlement agreement from the house. I am currently on SSDI too. Don’t know if that will be affected too.
What I am really trying to say is how much (approximately) do I have to pay in taxes for the $25,000 I received from my ex? Being on disablility, how will that affect me too.
