Oh okay maybe I’ll just leave the income tax prepayment alone since I don’t understand it. We got a $94 refund from MA last year so we may not even owe this year. At least I figured out the property tax prepayment.

Thanks. We paid about 13k to MA last year, that’s a big chunk of change for us. I want to make sure I’m doing this right?

1. Pay MA 13k before Dec ends.
2. File 2017 taxes in Jan.
3. Get refund for around 13k back from MA (the taxes were already withheld from our paychecks)?

For number 2, can I use this to estimate state income tax (MA)?

Question about #2. We live in MA and used Turbotax 2016 last year, have roughly the same income this year. Do I look at my MA tax return summary and look at “Total Tax” for this amount? Or would I need to plug in our numbers into Turbotax 2017?
