Finally figured out the 2018 tax schedule [View all]

Like many seniors we pay estimated taxes and the first are due April 15.

So I estimated the income and the deductions and then... what? Where are the schedules? Or, at least, the tables? They have all the info for employers for withholding but this does not help.

Googling just gave me the brackets but not the schedule. The irs.gov is a mess. Form 1040-es should have it, but there is not one for 2018. And, yes, they do have it early in the year precisely for those of us who have to pay estimated taxes in April.

Finally decided to open the Motley Fool link and... applause. They have them for singles, for head of households, married filing jointly and separately.

So if anyone needs them

(This is how I found out that for 2018, the tax "reform" will cost us $500 more in taxes. It is the loss of the $8100 exemptions. But, hey, the Trump spawns will not have to pay estate taxes..)
