If you are an independent contractor, the IRS considers you to be self-employed. If you earn even $433 in the year that is self-employment income, you are required to file a tax return and pay SE tax for SS and Medicare. You might not make enough to affect the taxability of your SS, especially in the first year. As for making quarterly payments----again---that will depend on how much you are earning from the self-employment.
If you have self-employment income for which you will pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare, you will need to use online Premium software or any version of the CD/download so that you can prepare a Schedule C for your business expenses.
