Timing of Federal Tax Payments

I'm newly retired in 2024 and plan to take two withdrawals during this year from my IRA for living expenses, in January and August. Are there negative tax consequences by withholding no federal taxes from the first withdrawal (the larger of the two withdrawals), then withholding 100% of my 2023 taxes owed from my August withdrawal? I'm not sure whether the timing of tax payments during the current tax year is critical as long as owed taxes for the current tax year are made by December 31. Thanks
