Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, if you made the quarterly payments and entered the annualized income, you will not have to pay the penalty.

 

You may avoid the Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals Penalty if:

  • Your filed tax return shows you owe less than $1,000 or
  • You paid at least 90% of the tax shown on the return for the taxable year or 100% of the tax shown on the return for the prior year, whichever amount is less. If your adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2023 was more than $150,000 ($75,000 if your filing status for 2024 is married filing separately), substitute 110% for 100%.

Note that the 100%/110% still has to be quarterly if you are making the estimated payments.  Otherwise, as in your case, you have to enter when you received the income to avoid the penalty.
