Does an unplanned 4th quarter 2023 extra income require additional Colorado Estimated tax payment?

Asked onMonday, September 18, 2023 by Ronald

We have to cash an I-Bond on Oct. 2, 2023, resulting in a large increase in our taxable income. Our new Colorado taxable income will result in about $1,100 to $1,200 MORE than we have already paid out in 2023 through estimated Colorado tax payments for CY2023. We paid 100% of the previous year's tax liability in a timely manner and always file jointly. COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE states: "The estimated tax penalty will not be assessed if the Colorado tax liability is less than $5,000." IS THIS TRUE? OR, do we need to file an ADDITIONAL Estimated tax payment before the end of CY2023; if so when is the deadline? Our total Colorado 2023 tax liability will be LESS than $5,000. Please verify. Thank you.

401k rollover and employment

Asked onMonday, September 18, 2023 by S

Left a company 6 months ago for early retirement and moved my 401k to another account which I will withdraw from yearly. The company I left now wants me to come back part time. I was told that this could possibly flag the IRS and I could get penalized for moving my money, them thinking I did it so I could get my hands on my 401k. Can I go back to the company parttime or am I better off not doing so.
