ANNUALIZED INSTALLMENT WORKSHEET
If your income varied during the year because, for example, you own a seasonal business or the majority of your income
was received in one payment, you may be able to lower or eliminate the amount of your quarterly estimated tax payments
by using the annualized income installment method. Use the Annualized Income Installment Worksheet to calculate the
required 2012 installment for each payment due date.
