Need Advice: First Year as Self-Employed in the US

Hi everyone,

I started working as self-employed in February 2024 with an income above the minimum payment threshold. Before this, I had no income in 2023. I recently got my Green Card, and this will be my first year filing any taxes in the US. I just learned that self-employed individuals need to pay quarterly taxes.

Given that this is my first year and I plan to file jointly with my husband in April 2025, is it possible to file Form 1040 without facing penalties for not paying quarterly taxes? Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!
