This happened to me, and at least for the tax year that I was effected, there was an option called the "Lump-Sum Election" method of figuring it that may lower your taxes. You might consider consulting a tax preparer unless, unlike me, you can handle the intricacies and angst of preparing one's own taxes. It makes my eyes glaze over, so I got help. Good luck, Charlotte Mancuso
