  1.  Independent Contractors (Individuals who receive a 1099-MISC)
  2. Consultants (Individuals who receive a 1099-MISC)
  3. Sole proprietors (Individuals who run an unincorporated business)
  4. Profitable Businesses (C-Corps, S-Corps, LLPs, LLCs, etc.)

  • Why should I make quarterly estimated payments?

Individuals and businesses often make estimated payments to help manage cash flows and prevent them from scrambling for cash at the end of the year. Making four smaller payments is often easier than making one large payment. According to IRS standards, estimated payments should be either 90% of this year’s tax liability or 100% of last year’s tax liability. Making payments by that standard will help to avoid underpayment penalties.
