If you are quite willing and able to pay your alleged tax deficiency up-front, you would like a jury trial in your home state of Ohio, and would like the ability to appeal your case if the jury decides against you, your best option is to bring your case before:

The U.S. Tax Court when it comes to your area

The U.S. Court of Federal Claims

The U.S. Tax Court – Small Claims Division

The U.S. District Court for the North District of Ohio

Your AGI last year was $175,000, and with some nice deductions your federal income tax liability was $25,000. This year you are on track for an even better year – with $250,000 of AGI, and your tax liability is expected to be $35,000. Importantly, your employer has only withheld $10,000 toward your tax liability so far. What’s the least additional amount you must have withheld by year end, or pay in estimated taxes, so as not to face an underpayment penalty?
