Self-Employed Resident in Brookline NH Looks for Advice
Ideally your estimated tax payments will be as close to the amount of taxes owed as possible, leaving you breaking even at the end of the year. If you wind up owing more than $1,000 to the IRS when it comes time to file your taxes, you can face a penalty for underpayment. Pay too much in estimated taxes and the government is left earning interest, money that could have been in your pocket throughout the year. With a business that has fluctuating sales and income, you will likely need to adjust your quarterly payments based on income and expenses.
