Hi There 

 

The amount of estimated tax penalty is usually the deciding factor  as to whether or not to make estimated tax payments. For some a $50 penalty might not be worth the paperwork. For others, it certainly would not be. Everyone has a different penalty tolerance.  The only incentive to file and pay estimated taxes is to avoid the penalty.
