Dad is on Medicaid. He gets a teachers pension for disability and a small social security check. No taxes are taken out of these automatic deposits. This year Dad owes over $3,000 in taxes. Every year I end up paying his taxes out of my pocket. I can't get Social Security, Medicaid or the IRS to help me with answers.
We live in Yellow Springs, OH, Greene County. There has to be resources to help seniors in long-term care. He is bedridden. I am frustrated as I don't make much of an income. $3,000 is a lot of money. We are a family who believes in paying our fair share of taxes. We always do what is right and by the law. Constructive information will be most welcomed.
Visit with a CPA or an income tax preparer who can decide how much Dad would need to pay 4 times a year, and they will print out the form that is needed to be used.
What you are experiencing is quite normal. I also have a pension where taxes aren't taken out, thus I have to do the quarterly estimated taxes.
