Hello @rwhalen1 
Thank you for being here today, we are so happy to have your participation.

To answer your question, you can make your estimated payments based solely on your Self employed net earnings.  When filing your tax return as Married Filing Jointly any estimated taxes that are paid will be entered on your joint tax return as a tax payment, regardless if you filed those estimated taxes as an individual or jointly.

 

Your spouse's taxes being withheld from their wages on a W-2 will also be entered on your joint tax return as a tax payment along with the estimated taxes that you have paid.

I hope that answers your question, if not I am happy to explain further!

 

Cheers,

Holly W
