Final 2022 quarterly estimated tax due January 17
Courtesy IRS Media RelationsMany taxpayers make quarterly estimated tax payments during the year to stay current on their taxes, but many who should overlook this step.
The Internal Revenue Service today urged those who paid too little tax in 2022 to make a fourth quarter payment on or before Jan. 17 to avoid an unexpected potential tax bill or penalty when they file in 2023.
Taxes are normally paid throughout the year by withholding tax from paychecks or by making quarterly estimated tax payments to the IRS or by a combination of both. Individuals do this because income taxes are pay-as-yougo, meaning taxpayers need to pay most of their tax during the year as income is earned or received.
Who needs to make a payment?
Taxpayers who earn or receive income that is not subject to tax withholding such as selfemployed people or independent contractors should pay their taxes quarterly to the IRS.
In addition, people who owed tax when they filed their current year tax return often find themselves in the same situation again when they file the next year. Taxpayers in this situation normally include:
•Those who itemized in the past but are now taking the standard deduction,
•Two wage-earner households,
•Employees with non-wage sources of income such as dividends,
•Those with complex tax situations and/or
•Those who failed to increase their tax withholding.

The IRS reminds people that most income is taxable. This includes unemployment income, refund interest and income from the gig economy and digital assets. When estimating quarterly tax payments, taxpayers should include all forms of earned income, including from part-time work, side jobs or the sale of goods.
tions where gross payments exceed $20,000 and there are more than 200 transactions. Last week, the IRS also issued Frequently Asked Questions, irs.gov/pub/taxpros/fs-2022-41. pdf, to help people who may receive Forms 1099-K.
Reporting does not impact a taxpayer’s responsibility to accurately report all income, whether or not they receive a Form 1099-K or other information return (such as Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Information; Form 1099-NEC, Nonemployee Compensation; etc.).
How to make an estimated tax payment
The fastest and easiest way to make an estimated tax payment is to do so electronically using IRS Direct Pay. Taxpayers can schedule a payment in advance of the January deadline.
Taxpayers can now also make a payment through their IRS Online Account. There they can see their payment history, any pending or recent payments and other useful tax information. The Electronic Filing Tax Payment System, or EFTPS, is an excellent choice as well.
The IRS does not charge a fee for these services. Plus, using these or other electronic payment options ensures that a payment gets credited promptly. More information on other payment options is available at IRS.gov/payments.
Act now to avoid a penalty
Either payment method — withholding or estimated tax payments — or a combination of the two, can help avoid a surprise tax bill at tax time and the accompanying penalty that often applies.
If a taxpayer failed to make required quarterly estimated tax payments earlier in the year, making a payment soon to cover these missed payments will usually lessen and may even eliminate any possible penalty.

Also, various financial transactions, especially late in the year, can often have an unexpected tax impact. Examples include year-end and holiday bonuses, stock dividends, capital gain distributions from mutual funds, and stocks, bonds, virtual currency, real estate or other property sold at a profit.
Delay in requirement for Forms 1099-K
On Dec. 23, 2022, the IRS announced that calendar year 2022 will be treated as a transition year for the reduced reporting threshold of $600. For calendar year 2022, third-party settlement organizations who issue Forms 1099-K are only required to report transac-
The Tax Withholding Estimator, available on IRS.gov, can often help people determine if they need to make an estimated tax payment. It also helps people calculate the correct amount of tax to withhold throughout the year based on their complete set of tax facts and circumstances.
Alternatively, taxpayers can use the worksheet included with estimated tax form 1040-ES, or read through Publication 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax, available on IRS.gov. Both are excellent resources.

CANOES PART OF HERITAGE
Canoes have a place of signi cance to coastal tribes. ey were the main source of transportation for the coastal tribes. e carvings not only were used to identify the tribe from which it came to other tribes, they also told stories of the tribe’s past.
“ e canoe center is a step forward in ensuring our story, our people and our ways of life are sustainable for generations to come — we’re still here and we will continue to stand strong in culture and community,” Tulee said. “ is project brings a signi cant addition of Native culture, power and technology to the heart of downtown Seattle.”
Kohl-Welles said she has been a longtime admirer of Tulee and the UIATF that when he approached her about possible funding, she was happy to request that funds be allocated in the county budget.

“I pleaded, I lobbied, I tried to do everything I could,” she said at the ceremony.
She said, even after she made her case to the budget committee, she was pleasantly surprised the entire $1.1 million made it into the budget.
“It was absolutely thrilling that it was our money that could push [the project] over the nish line,” Kohl-Welles said after the ceremony.

Kohl-Welles said she thinks the project is a “perfect example of how we as community leaders can put our money where our mouth is.”
“While the past is tragic and the present still problematic, I’m looking forward to the future,” she said.

He said it will take 10 to 12 months before it is complete. e canoe carving center is phase 1 of the UIATF’s plan at the cite. Phase 2 includes a welcoming house for cultural events, a catering kitchen and gift shop. e cost for Phase 1 is estimated to be $4.7 million, Arnold said.

Pacific Northwest Ballet
Artistic Director Peter Boal’s radiant, historically informed production of Giselle drew international accolades when it premiered in 2011.
PNB’s production marked the first time an American ballet company had based a production on Stepanov notation as well as the first use in modern times of the rare French sources for Giselle.
PNB is thrilled to bring Giselle back to the stage for eight performances, Feb. 3-12 at Seattle Center’s Marion Oliver McCaw Hall. Tickets start at just $37. The program will also stream digitally from Feb. 16-20. Tickets for the digital access are $35.
For tickets and additional information, contact the PNB Box Office at 206-441-2424, in person at 301 Mercer St., or online at PNB.org.
Widely acknowledged as the greatest ballet of the Romantic era, Giselle tells the story of a peasant girl who dies of a broken heart after her fiancé is revealed to be a nobleman in disguise. In death, she joins the ranks of the Wilis, supernatural maidens who died before their wedding days and are doomed to take their revenge on men for eternity. In a miraculous display of love beyond the grave, Giselle saves her betrothed from certain death at the hands of her ghostly sisters.
Pacific Northwest Ballet’s production of Giselle has been staged by PNB Artistic Director Peter Boal, utilizing primary sources from Paris and St. Petersburg, with the assistance of dance historians Marian Smith and Doug Fullington, and drawing on the rich tradition of Giselle performances throughout the 20th century and to the present day.

This one-woman show, now playing at Seattle Shakespeare Company, explores the intersections of race, gender and opportunity through iconic Shakespeare character Othello. Byrd’s first experience with this character was when she played the title role, dressed as a man. After that, she started working with a writing coach to develop the show. Eventually, she partnered with director Tina Packer, Shakespeare & Company founder, and debuted the show in Shakespeare’s hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon in 2019.
The show runs Wednesday through Sunday through Jan. 29 at the Seattle Armory (305 Harrison St.). Tickets range from $39-$56 and are available at seattleshakespeare.org.

Just keep growing, just keep growing: Indoor winter growing
It is cold outside, so you are likely mostly inside these days, which is more reason to Just Keep Growing. With deciduous trees’ leaves down and the light much lower in the sky, I know I benefit from reminders of the joy of growing, renewing me as much as the seeds or plants I cultivate.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230310191112-4ecf2a6fc63c5df84c220113a05ebf86/v1/f4223ff43c9a7b8db1d6a70321aa70f9.jpeg)
Counter to table dining
While I still have some chard I can harvest, and with the luck of the weather, some parsley, the amount of fresh harvesting I am doing is drastically reduced, yet I still want the fresh-cut nutrition my summer garden gives me. Enter microgreens.
When my husband saw the tray on the kitchen table, he said “Oh, sprouts!” but these are so much easier — and less E.Coli prone — than sprouts. What are microgreens? Technically, any edible plant you grow only to a couple of inches high. Some research indicates microgreens concentrate lots of nutrition into tiny packages.
The method couldn’t be simpler. Fill a shallow container, say 1 or 2 inches deep, with seed-starting mix, and sow your seeds thickly, like dusting a cake with sugar. The container does not need drainage, so you can use a take-out bowl or yogurt container if you like. Follow the directions on the packet as to whether the seeds need to be covered with more
dirt to a particular depth. You’ll have the best results if you can cover it with a clear plastic lid to retain humidity inside.
Magnolia Garden Center was selling kits (trays with roofs) recently, and you can also find them online.
In under two weeks, you can have a tray full of microgreens to snip for super-charging stirfries, salads or smoothies. You can grow the obvious greens, like lettuces, kale and chards, but also broccoli, cucumber or even melons. Each crop offers a hint of its ultimate flavor, so you can add some cucumber or melon flavor to your life without paying the price for imported greenhouse produce.
Because you will be harvesting these so young, they don’t need extra nutrition beyond what the seeds brought with them into the world. Likewise, with no need to ripen fruit, you don’t need to worry much about heat or light to get them to sprout (unless your packet directions call for a heat mat).
One week before this writing, I planted up a 12x12 tray kit in three sections: unnamed sunflowers, “Early Wonder” beets — both from Botanical Interest — and a microgreens blend from Territorial Seed including radish, salad burnett, kale and mustard greens. The blend came up first and is over an inch tall. The beets, with impossibly neon magenta stems, are about
¼ inch high, and the sunflowers’ bent heads, with thicker green stalks, are just visible at the surface. Usually microgreens are a single-harvest thing, but if you are careful not to cut too low, you may get a second growth. For consistent smoothie supply, you’ll want to do successive sowings every few weeks.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230310191112-4ecf2a6fc63c5df84c220113a05ebf86/v1/ca43740d22e0396b430e6649e60fddb7.jpeg)
True sprouts, while also nutritious and fast-growing, require attendance daily or every other day to refresh the water in which they are sprouting. Because I’m not looking for a daily plant project right now, I have yet to try this, but I did read about an author who is subsisting entirely on sprouts living in the desert.
More complicated food
Having calculated last year that it takes about three months for plants grown in my Aerogarden hydroponic grow light set, I should have planted this up at least a month ago because we are out of cherry tomatoes, unless you count the green ones waiting to ripen in trays sharing table space with the microgreens.
I purchased an adapter kit for the Aerogarden to be able to plant more varieties than the company offers. Yes, I tracked down rare micro-dwarf tomato seed purveyors in France and Croatia, like you do. I’m all ready for planting, but perhaps after Thanksgiving.
Something pretty for the table
Amaryllis — the ostrich-egg sized bulbs you can force indoors from fall through winter — are entrancing, obviously. It’s so fun to watch as the egg emits giant stalks that can reach 2 feet. And
when they bloom, you can get lost in those tropical trumpets. There’s a catch, however. Coaxing a repeat performance next year requires some horticultural hopscotch. You need to plant in soil mix, baby the leaves with sun and water after the flowers fade, then let them have some great light in the summer, and then total darkness for several weeks.
I did have a closet full of hibernating amaryllis one winter in a Bronx apartment, but results were not fruitful, I’m guessing they didn’t get enough light before the darkness. I am about to plant up a mammoth amaryllis “Apple Blossom” in a fancy terracotta pot. It may even get some moss and a twisty branch or two. They take about four to six weeks to bloom after planting, so maybe it can decorate our table on Christmas or New Year’s Day.
You can also choose to grow and love them for a season, like paperwhite narcissus. In this case you can just plant them in gravel or suspend them in water. Paperwhites are a tender type of Narcissus can’t live outside in our winters but can offer a beautiful ballet as they grow and blossom, with a powerfully sweet fragrance. For some it’s a little too powerful. A friend used to overwinter them in her garage, but you’d have to fertilize and grow them until then like the amaryllis, too.
These are just a few ways to extend the growing experience indoors during the winter. What are your favorites?
When fresh harvesting of vegetables is hindered by winter, gardeners can find an easy solutionwith microgreens, which technically are any edible plant that only grow to a couple inches high. Erica Browne Grivas Get Growing

Coyote Central has worked to inspire youth artists for almost 40 years
By Laura Marie Rivera QA & MagCoyote is an inclusive arts education organization geared toward 10- to 15-year-olds.
According to the non-profit organization’s mission statement, “Coyote sparks creativity in young people, putting tools in their hands to build skills and forge their futures.”
It offers traditional art classes with paper and paintbrushes and some classes with tools that are considered more extreme, such as cooking, glasswork and welding. At Coyote, the students are celebrated for who they are. It doesn’t matter if they are not typical learners or are having a bad day, the staff at Coyote will meet them where they are and help them achieve the skills they need to create.
Since it began in 1986, Coyote has grown from a small group of teachers engaging students in academics to a large twocampus organization dedicated to the arts and serving more than 1,000 students each year. Many people are familiar with the
COYOTE, FROM PAGE 1
Coyote Central location at 2300 E. Cherry Street, across from Garfield High School. And just weeks before the pandemic shutdown, the organization opened the doors of Coyote North, at 12325 Lake City Way N.E.
During the pandemic, Coyote experienced a few bumps in the road as it transitioned to online learning but kept their staff and teaching artists employed and made sure that the students had access to classes and opportunities. Classes during the pandemic were limited to the tools and equipment students had or could have delivered to their houses; staff and volunteers made and delivered supply kits for the students. Some included regular art supplies, but the cooking classes required someone to shop for weekly grocery deliveries.
Having in-person classes return means that Coyote is once again offering welding, sewing and fiber arts, wood sculpture and furniture, screen printing and theater.
All classes are pay-what-youcan, and registration for the
augment-reality-public-art-mural-in-seattle. This is my favorite because I was able to create a 3D model in virtual reality with (Tilt Brush) and export to edit for augmented reality. This was activated by a 30’ x 10’ mural I designed in Photoshop. This was very new but familiar as I have spent my career creating in the virtual 3D world but never this interactive.
After IAAC, where I learned coding for microelectronics, designing for laser cutting and modeling for 3D printing, I began infusing those techniques with traditional forms of art including sewing, painting and sculpting. I have explored many mediums of art in my lifetime and still have more I want to experiment with. Next is ceramics (2024). I have treated art as a meditative process and a way for me to get my thoughts out. A form of journaling.
Q: What attracted you to Coyote?
A: Being a multi-disciplinary artist and my experience teaching 6th grade through 12th grade STEAM classes, where my classroom was an exploration of tools and skills, Coyote spoke to my heart. Coyote embodies all I believe in when it comes to empowering youth through art education. I have such a vision on how Coyote can really grow over the next decade, and the foundation for this work is already there. Coyote has a beautiful history of supporting youth in Seattle, and I want to continue that legacy while expanding our support for youth and collaborating with other orgs to enhance our classroom experiences.
Q: What have you discovered since taking the lead?
A: Take it slow. As someone with a lot of ideas and motivation, I see so much that’s possible, but there is a need to absorb for a bit longer as a new executive director. There’s a lot to learn with any new leader in the nonprofit world whose organization is emerging out of COVID. This includes the need for outreach to communities we serve and see how they’ve survived and what they need.
Q: How does Coyote’s pay-what-you-can pricing work?
A: Pay-what-works-for-you is one of the aspects I love about Coyote and really shows our commitment to underserved communities. Families are able to pay what works for them, and every student receives the same quality classroom experience. It’s that simple. That’s why we work hard to get community support
winter courses opened Jan. 2 at coyotecentral.org.
Coyote is committed to social justice, accessibility and inclusion. As stated on its website, they “start with a racial equity lens but also address inequity with income, gender identity, culture, language, ability, and any other oppression that our community might experience.” This commitment extends to staff, where they are working to build a teaching artist roster, staff and board that reflect the diversity and intersectionality of the students they serve.
Earlier in December, Coyote announced new leadership for the first time in 20 years. Cofounder and program director Marybeth Satterlee stepped down, and long-time executive director Claudia Stelle also retired. After an extensive search, Coyote identified Gabriel-Bello Laurence-Diaz to take the lead.
Editor’s note: Laura Marie Rivera is the treasurer for the Coyote Central Board of Directors, as well as a contributing writer for the Madison Park Times.
to make sure this model can continue.
Q: Do you have a favorite class or work of Coyote art so far?
A: The music production class by Robb Clemente, hands down! It was an unforgettable experience in summer when I first began to witness these young artists creating industry professional work. I heard their final music piece at the Coyote showcase and couldn’t stop thinking that they could be creating music for a whole film, theater production, music video, beat maker for other musicians or any other path in this field, if they wanted. Just impressed.
Q: Coyote’s co-founder Marybeth Satterlee and longtime executive director Claudia Stelle recently retired. What has it meant to step into their shoes?
A: Marybeth Satterlee, our co-founder and program director, is absolutely inspiring. The history of how Coyote became what it is today shows consistent dedication to youth exploring art in all its forms. Initiatives like Hit the Street, where students are able to showcase their work and talent in public, is something I’ve wanted to see for years and look forward to continuing to support these legacy projects. I really resonate with Marybeth’s path from educator to education leader and she has paved a beautiful path for me to continue this work. Former Executive Director Claudia Stelle is another powerhouse I really look up to. After 20 years she has steered Coyote into the success and expansion you see today. Her vision for Lake City is spot on, and I will be continuing that work to keep Coyote supporting our diverse communities.
Q: How do you see Coyote growing in the future?
A: Our first goal is to grow back to full capacity for both our Central and Lake City locations. North is still fairly new, which means a lot of more outreach to Lake City communities and building strong relationships with families in that area. Coyote was gifted with 3D printers and a laser cutter that we look forward to building out to offer more classes in STEAM and digital designing. We are looking at including new emerging artistic mediums like virtual reality, augmented reality and other cool mediums for our young artists to explore. I would love to get to a point where we have increased our presence in public schools and collaborate with other organizations to expand our offerings and the experience for our students.
