California estimated tax payments

Can I pay all three of my California estimated tax payments in one payment?

Level 10

You can as long as the amount equals the sum of what you would pay in the 3 payments.

Level 15

You can pay estimated taxes ahead of earning the money, if you want. Normally people wait until they earn the money. You won't be earning interest. It will be considered a large sum for the first quarter payment. As long as you don't owe at the end of the year, this shouldn't be a problem since the payment annualized will be large.
