And more importantly, I've suggested =everal times since August/September and as recently within the past =eek, that I recommend that we make an additional IRA distribution that =s applied 100% to tax withholding. And I emphasized =hat we need to do that before 12/31. Of course I can'= quantify the saving precisely, but it would save a 4- figure federal =nderpayment penalty. A quarterly payment =ow would only "stop the clock" going forward on the =enalty calculation; but withholdings are deemed to be prorata =hroughout the year, hence no penalty and the hoped for cash savings. EFTA_R1_01717940 EFTA02558319 We don't have =n estimate of their royalty incomes for 2017 (they were greater in 2016 =han in 2015), Noam's income from teaching in Arizona, etc, =tc. Hopefully we will =et some more information shortly and we can update the projections. I am not aware of any other significant =ources of cash to be able to make Q4 estimated payments. Noam & =aleria, if you have some =vailable cash that can be set aside to be applied as Q4 estimated =ayments so that we don't have to incur more taxable income with =n IRA distribution, it would be helpful. Let us know how much =s available, and we can calculate the ideal balance of IRA distribution =more taxable income) and other resources (without additional taxable =ncome). Do you know if the =ccounts have moved from Bainco yet? The last we knew in =eptember, they had not. If not we will want =o coordinate the tax payment/distribution with Bainco.
