Personal Finance (Not Investing) • Help mitigating underpayment tax penalties

$
0

I receive social security disability income and am not working. There’s a cap on how much of my SSDI checks I can withhold for taxes. As a result, I’m not going to meet the safe harbor minimum for 2024 by about $1000.

Should I just leave it be and pay the underpayment penalty? If it’s small, I’m ok with that.

Or is there a way to remedy the issue with estimated tax payments in Q3 and Q4?

When I ran calculations to determine estimated tax payment amounts earlier this year, it meant paying exorbitant amounts and I wasn’t keen on giving the govt huge interest free loans. I thought I could cover my bases with tax withholding but I was mistaken.

I can provide more details if needed.
