If your income level gets to the point that you expect to owe more than $1,000 in taxes at end of the year you'll want to consider making an estimated payment to avoid penalty and interest. 

 

Please be sure that the estimator included the Self-Employment tax for FICA- Social Security and Medicare- not just the income tax on your side gig earnings.  To calculate this tax you would use 92.35% of your net earnings from self-employment and multiply it by 15.3%.

 

Hope this helps!
