Do I submit an IPR6 form with my optional 3rd payment for provisional tax?

Posted 7 August 2014

On your provisional tax page, you say "two (or optionally three) payments are made during the tax year at the end of August and end of February, with an IRP6 required for each one."

There are IRP6 forms in eFiling for 2014-01 and 2014-02, but nothing for 2014-03. Do I need to submit an IRP6 form with my third payment (and, if so, where can I find that form in e-filing?), or do I just pay the additional money with no form?

In the case of provisional tax paid for persons married in community or property, what income amounts does one enter into each IRP6 to ensure that one can claim the rebate twice. I have heard I should enter 100% of our total income in my IRP6 and 50% of that same income in my wife's IRP6?

When should I register as provisional taxpayer from?

Posted 23 June 2014

I'm starting contract work on 1 July 2014 (payable by client in first week of August), in addition to salaried work. If I register as provisional taxpayer in July or August, would I still have to submit my first return this August, or should I wait until after Aug to actually register? I'm concerned that projected earnings to Feb15 will inflate what I'd need to pay in August, considering I wouldn't have earned it yet to keep the extra tax aside?
