Because you received extra income in the last quarter, you may need to select to annualize your income. The underpayment of estimated tax calculation assumes total income was earned evenly throughout the year (as is usually applicable).

The annualized method for calculating the underpayment, allows you to report income and deductions earned each quarter.

To apply this method, from within your return, search in the top right box "annualized adjusted gross income" and select the first "jump to" link that results.
