For those of you who have to pay a decent amount to the IRS this year, what is it you actually do? How do you earn that kind of money?

I’m not sure I understand the question. I’ve owed last 4 years, including this year. I pay it out of saved money and move on.

I check my tax withholdings occasionally throughout the year, try to get it as close as possible. Usually I’m within 1-2k.

Consulting

Isn’t this the consulting bowl? What is your question

Usually people who are married and don’t know how to properly do the right withholding. Also people who realize capital gains

Work a lot

Or at least get paid a lot for work

I mean what kind of consulting, or level are you at? I specialize in marketing consulting and I've never had to pay more than a few hundred dollars.

I wouldn’t say how much you make is irrelevant. In order to owe big to the IRS, you had to earn big. Also aligning with holdings to the amount owed becomes tougher if what you make is lumpier (bonus and other non-salary components) and also have investment gains.

Hi Fishes,
I've been offered for Engineering expert position at Novartis India. I've received offer letter 2 weeks back and my DOJ is updated to Mid December. I told the HR that my current company's last working day is on mid January and resend the offer letter with mid Jan as my DOJ. But they told that they can send the revised offer letter 3 weeks before the joining date.
Is this normal process? Has anyone gone through similar experience?
