When do I have to pay estimated taxes on an unexpected payment I received in mid September?

Every year we receive a payment in April on a note that we have with a business and we have taxes withheld.  This year the company made another unexpected payment to us in mid September with no taxes withheld.  When do I have to make tax payments on that to avoid a penalty and how do I let the IRS know that I did not have this money all year long so I didn't make quarterly payments?
