Independent contractors, this is your friendly tax reminder: quarterly taxes are due on Monday, June 15th and are not optional.
If you’re a solopreneur, freelancer, or anyone earning 1099 income, the IRS expects you to pay taxes throughout the year — not just when you file your return. Skipping quarterly payments can lead to penalties, interest, and a very unpleasant surprise at tax time.
I know taxes are probably not the thing you’re most excited to deal with, but staying on top of your quarterly payments can save you stress, money, and a whole lot of scrambling later.
A few things to keep in mind:
You may need to make estimated tax payments if taxes are not being withheld from your income.
Your payment amount depends on your income, deductions, and overall tax situation.
Keeping good records throughout the year makes this process so much easier.
And yes — mileage, business expenses, supplies, software, equipment, and other deductions may help lower what you owe when tracked properly.
Not sure what you should be paying or whether you’re on track? That’s exactly the kind of thing we help with at Total Tax Care.
Don’t wait until tax season to find out you should have been planning all year. Let’s get ahead of it now.
