Your Q3 estimated tax payment is coming up. Is the cash already accounted for? đ
For applicable taxpayers, September 15 is an important estimated tax deadline. But the bigger question isnât just whether you know the dateâitâs whether you planned for the payment.
If making your estimated payment means scrambling to move money around, dipping into cash you need for payroll or operations, or being caught off guard by the amount, thatâs worth paying attention to.
Before the deadline, ask yourself:
⢠Is the cash for this payment already set aside?
⢠Has my income changed enough that my estimate deserves another look?
⢠Can I make the payment without putting pressure on operating cash?
⢠Am I already planning ahead for the next one?
Tax planning and cash-flow planning shouldnât happen separately.
If your upcoming tax payment has you second-guessing the numbers, send us âQ3â in a DM and letâs take a closer look.
