Get your taxes done using TurboTax

So are the quarterly tax payments for the following quarter?  Meaning I would not have to make the September 15 payment to MI?  Or is it for the previous quarter?  And then I will still need to make the estimated federal payments since my employer is not withholding any extra for the alimony.  But next year I could have them withhold more so I don't have to make the estimated payments at all?
