estimated tax

Quarterly IRS installment

Estimated tax is a method of paying income tax in advance through periodic installments rather than a single payment at year's end.

Self-employed individuals and others without employer withholding typically pay estimated taxes quarterly to the IRS: She set aside money each month for her estimated tax payments.

Underpaying can result in penalties.
