About Quarterly Tax Payments
Most businesses are required to make quarterly estimated tax payments if they expect to owe $1,000 or more in taxes for the year. These payments help avoid penalties and manage cash flow throughout the year.
Key points about quarterly taxes:
Due Dates: April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15 of the following year
Calculation: Based on your expected annual tax liability
Safe Harbor Rule: Pay at least 100% of last year's tax or 90% of this year's tax to avoid underpayment penalties
Adjustments: You can adjust payments each quarter based on updated income projections
