When Are Quarterly Income Taxes Due ?
Paying quarterly taxes on time saves one from paying a fine at the end of the year. It may seem like a big hassle to pay taxes every third or fourth month in the year, but it saves one from fines and stress during the tax time in April. Also, neglecting to pay your taxes on time may result in spending the amount on something else. Later, one can be in a quandary to raise that money. |

One can pay their taxes based on the previous year’s income if it is expected to be the same or higher from the previous year. Or, calculate the total amount to be paid throughout the year based on April’s tax, and divide it equally into four payments and send it on the appointed dates. The latter method works well with most taxpayers.
In case, the due date falls on a weekend or a holiday, then one can file taxes the next working day.
