Quarterly taxes

dovfields — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 07:04:19 GMT

In the past two years I became a government contractor, recieving only a statement of payment form from my employer. I had not realized that I needed to file taxes differently, and submitted my taxes for last year in the stanard way in April. Since that date I have yet to submit any quarterly estimated taxes. Given this, here are a two of my questions:

Which quarterly payements do I still need to submit, and is there any thing I need to do in particular in order to make up for these missed quarterly payments?

Is there any other paperwork I need to submit along with my payment at the IRS website?

Quarterly payments are due April 15, June 15, September 15 of 2023 and January 15, 2024

If you have made any estimated payments yet , you can still make them September and January.

I have included the link to Turbotax Taxcaster tool to help you estimate your taxes due.

I have also included some additional information on estimated tax payment which includes information on how to make those payments by mail with a voucher or online at irs.gov:
