Overheard a client on the phone talking about their 'tax bucket'
They were telling someone they put 30% of every single payment into a separate account right away, before they even touch the money. I started doing it last month with a new business checking account, and it's already way less stressful knowing that cash is just for taxes. Anyone else have a simple trick like this for not getting surprised at tax time?

Wait, they put in 30%? That's way too much for most people. Are they making a ton of money or just really scared of the IRS?

Imagine being that scared of the IRS. They must have had a really bad year or just enjoy getting a massive refund like it's a surprise gift.

Yeah, that's a huge chunk... I know some folks who do that because they had a surprise tax bill one year and now they're paranoid. Others just have no idea what they're doing with their W-4.
