1099 and W2 Employee (Multiple Jobs)

[aknowles]

I am currently working 3 part-time jobs. For two of the positions, I am 1099 and hold similar job roles & duties. I also work part-time with a company as a W-2 Employee. I am wondering about the best practice for filing quarterly taxes. Do I just consider my 1099 positions? I have made roughly $25,000 just in 1099 this year. 

I keep track of my 1099 income and estimated taxes owed in a spreadsheet, along with my expenses which I track separately. I know the form I am supposed to use to estimate these numbers, but I feel nervous. I have not yet filed quarterly this year so I know I need to do so at the upcoming quarterly due date for all previous quarters. What if with my expenses I owe nothing according to the calculations? Is that ok? Can I file quarterly on Turbo Tax?

To make a Long Story Short, you should assign to Estimated Tax Payments about 15.3% of your Self-Employment Earnings, but there is more.

Should you actually overpay your taxes, you will get a refund, however, should you underpay your taxes, in addition to the money that you already owe, you will be hit with penalties and interests.

You can have a more accurate calculation using a Tax Calculator where you can input the other circumstances surrounding your next year tax filing obligations.

Lastly, below are the Estimated Taxes Deadlines:
1.  April 15th
2.  June 15th
3.  September 15th
4.  January 15th

Thank you! That is surely helpful. Quick add-on question: For my "income" am I including the W-2 income or JUST 1099 when filing quarterly?
