Gig work taxes

I have a full time W2 job but just started doing Instacart on the side. How do I go about estimating and paying taxes quarterly with documenting for expenses? I don’t want to increase the withholding on my full time job, and would just prefer to pay the gig taxes quarterly.

You can expect to pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare from your self-employment income, as well as ordinary income tax.
