Nick Nichols has advised that if the =stimates for 2017 are paid from your IRA, four figure tax penalties may =e avoided. Of course a distribution from the IRA will incur a tax =tself; therefore Nick also advises that he should calculate the balance =etween the IRA and non-IRA assets (i.e. the marital trust) to pay the =stimates. Please see Nick's email of 12/5/17 at 1:11 p.m. Please confirm =hat you want me to follow Richard's instruction that a $150,000 =istribution should be taken from the marital trusts to pay your 2017 =stimates, and that you do not want to follow Nick's advice that =he estimate EFTA_R1_01704681 EFTA02549448 be taken from your IRA and the marital trust in some =roportion that Nick needs to calculate to avoid =enalties and minimize income taxes.
