Answer:
How much does Lloyd need to increase his withholding by (for the year), in order to avoid the underpayment penalty?
Explanation:
If he increase withholding by $1,440 for the year.
A citizen can maintain a strategic distance from an underpayment of punishment if their retention and evaluated assessment installment measure up to or surpass one of the two safe harbors.
90% of current expense risk = 90% * $10,900
= $9,810.
100% of past assessment risk = $15,600.
Since, Lloyd's retention does not equivalent or surpass $9,810 or $15,600.
He should expand retaining or make payment this year to stay away from the underpayment punishment
= $9,810 - $8,370
= $1,440
