You got this—all you have to do is start!
We make filing taxes delightfully simple with our flat–rate price. Every feature included for everyone.
Start filingIf you earn a wage and get a Form W-2, then your employer is paying your quarterly taxes on your behalf every time the employer withholds money from your paycheck.
If, however, you receive other types of taxable income separate from your W-2, then you are responsible for making quarterly estimated payments.
If you receive income that hasn’t been taxed and you expect to owe $1,000 or more in taxes on your total income (not just your self-employment income) at the end of the year, you should be making quarterly estimated tax payments.
For more information, see our Tax Guide page on estimated taxes.
