Do I still have to pay tax estimate?

Hi,

Due to some personal reasons, until today, Oct 30, I have zero income from W2 (and I expect to have zero income from W2 until Dec 31). So far, I only have about $2500 from 1099 contract. Do I have to pay estimate tax? The reason why I ask is because I assumed that those who pay estimate tax are the ones who have income at a certain level for the year. Am I wrong? Pls advise.

 

Tks.
