The Quarterly Tax Worksheet

Why quarterlies trip up good businesses

Nobody withholds taxes from your invoices. The IRS expects you to send estimated payments four times a year, and underpaying quietly racks up penalties even when you settle up in April. The fix is a simple rhythm: know your number, set it aside, send it on time.

What the worksheet does

• Walks you from profit to a quarterly payment amount in plain steps
• Puts all four federal due dates in front of you so none sneak past
• Gives you a set-aside habit that survives busy season

Seasonal business? Even more important

When most of your money arrives between March and October, even-sized quarterly payments can feel brutal. Knowing your real number — and when the safe-harbor rules protect you — is what keeps cash flow and compliance from fighting each other.
