Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello, thanks for joining us today!

 

Generally, if you owe less than $1,000, you do not have to pay quarterly estimated tax payments and will not see an estimated tax penalty. If you pay at least 90% of your tax obligation or 100% of the tax owed in the prior year (whichever is smaller), then you will not be penalized. If you are a high-income taxpayer, with an AGI over $150,000, then the 100% is increased to 110%.

If you are a w2 employee, you may try adjusting your w-4 and increase your withholding for the rest of the year.
