Stay Ahead of Taxes Throughout the Year
Not all income has taxes withheld automatically. Business profits, investment income, rental activity, capital gains, and other sources can leave you with a substantial balance due if payments are not adjusted during the year.
We project your expected income and federal tax liability, review withholding already in place, and calculate estimated payments based on the information available.
As your income changes, the projection can be updated so your payment strategy reflects what is actually happening rather than relying on an outdated estimate.

Who We Serve
For Individuals Whose Income Is Not Fully Covered by Withholding

Estimated tax planning is especially useful when income changes during the year or a significant transaction could materially increase your final tax liability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs to make estimated tax payments?
Estimated payments may be needed when withholding and credits are not expected to cover enough of your federal tax liability.
When are estimated tax payments due?
Federal estimated payments generally have four annual due dates, although exact dates can shift because of weekends, holidays, or disaster relief.
How are estimated payments calculated?
Calculations generally consider expected income, deductions, credits, withholding, prior-year tax, and applicable safe-harbor rules.
Can estimated payments change during the year?
Yes. Payments can be recalculated when income, deductions, or other circumstances change.

In some situations, additional withholding can be used as part of the strategy for covering expected federal tax liability.
