Frequently asked questions
Who has to pay quarterly estimated taxes? +
Generally anyone who expects to owe $1,000 or more in tax for the year with no withholding to cover it — which describes most freelancers, gig workers, and small business owners without a W-2 job offsetting the balance.
When are the 2026 quarterly due dates? +
April 15, June 15, and September 15 of 2026, then January 15, 2027 for the fourth quarter. Dates shift slightly if they land on a weekend or holiday.
What is the safe-harbor rule? +
Paying at least 90% of this year's tax (or 100% of last year's tax — 110% if your prior-year AGI was over $150,000) through withholding and estimated payments protects you from an underpayment penalty, even if you end up owing more at filing time.
What happens if I miss a payment or pay too little? +
The IRS charges an underpayment penalty based on how much you were short and for how long, calculated separately for each quarter — paying the full balance by the April filing deadline does not erase penalties for underpaying earlier quarters.
Can I just pay everything at tax time instead? +
You can, but you'll likely owe an underpayment penalty on top of the tax itself. Spreading payments across the year at the IRS due dates avoids that extra cost.
Do I need to make Wyoming estimated tax payments too? +
No — Wyoming has no state income tax, so quarterly estimated payments in Wyoming are federal-only.
