you will have to pay taxes quarterly
Have you ever tried not paying your taxes quarterly? The penalty is only a few hundred dollars. As in, one or two billable hours. As in, not enough to justify taking time off from paying work to do them those extra three times a year.
In years where my memory is especially good and I remember that I'm supposed to do quarterly taxes, I'll send off an enormous check at some point over the summer for about what I paid in taxes the year previous, with my SSN scribbled on it. That's actually surprisingly effective.
Most years, I let it slide and simply tack on an extra 0.4% to my total tax bill in April.
- jdminhbg 13y agoThis is the strategy I also employ -- generally by the 1/15 date I send a check for what I sent the year before. I don't even bother sending estimated state income tax, that works out to like a $25 penalty by the time they get back to me.
