Frequently Asked Questions.
Who needs to pay quarterly estimated tax?
If you are self-employed, a business owner, a partner, or an S corporation shareholder, you generally need to make estimated payments when you expect to owe $1,000 or more after withholding and credits. C corporations generally make them when they expect to owe $500 or more.
When are quarterly estimated tax payments due?
For most individual taxpayers, payments are due April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15 of the following year. When a date falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline moves to the next business day.
What is the safe harbor rule?
You can generally avoid an underpayment penalty by paying at least 90% of this year’s tax or 100% of last year’s tax, whichever is smaller. If your prior-year adjusted gross income was over $150,000 ($75,000 if married filing separately), the prior-year threshold rises to 110%.
What happens if I underpay or miss a payment?
The IRS charges an underpayment penalty based on how much you underpaid and for how long, and it can apply even if you end up getting a refund. Catching up as soon as possible reduces the amount.
What if my income changes during the year?
Your payments can be adjusted at any point. For seasonal or uneven income, the annualized income method can lower the payments due in slower quarters, and we review your numbers mid-year so each payment stays accurate.
