ESTIMATED
TAX TIMER
PAY QUARTERLY. STAY PENALTY-FREE.
HOW TO PLAY
- Select the correct quarterly estimated tax payment
- Safe harbor = exact amount → +500 pts (300 + 200 bonus)
- Overpayment → −50 pts, no life lost
- Underpayment → −150 pts, lose a life, penalty accrues
- 30 seconds per quarter — time out = underpayment
- Safe harbor rules: 90% current year OR 100% prior year (110% if prior AGI > $150K)
