After you file

Generally, if you owe less than $1,000, you do not have to pay quarterly estimated tax payments and will not see an estimated tax penalty. If you pay at least 90% of your tax obligation or 100% of the tax owed in the prior year (whichever is smaller), then penalty can be avoided. If you are a high-income taxpayer, with an AGI over $150,000, then the 100% is increased to 110%.
