Have you been wondering if you are on track for your ’97 taxes? Grab your calculator and spend fifteen minutes right now calculating your bill (or refund!) It’s worth having a general idea of where you are and what (if anything) can be done to help. Hopefully you are on a computerized system so it’s relatively easy to locate the following information.

You will need:

  • Your 1997 gross income
  • Retirement contributions
  • State and local income and property taxes paid
  • An estimate of your mortgage interest paid
  • Contributions
  • Business expenses
  • Exemptions
  • A calculator

Example:

Your 1997 taxable income is $135,000. If you are married, filing jointly, the tax you owe on the lower amount ($151,750 tax bracket) is $22,532 on the first $99,600 of your combined income. The tax on the excess ($135,000 – 99,600) is $35,400 x 31% = $10,974. Your total tax owed is approximately ($22,532 + 10,974) = $35,506.

This do-it-yourself tax form was developed by Stanley Greenfield, RHU, of Jacksonville Beach, FL.
