This is my first year fully self-employed. I have not paid any estimated taxes or quarterlies this year. Should have I been filing and paying? What about FICA and Medicare? When and how do those get paid?

    Hi @Susie02 you may want to estimate your taxable income for the year to see if you need to make a payment.

    Turbo Tax has a couple calculators that can help you achieve this, here is the link for this.

    Here is a link to show you where to pay the estimates at.

    They did for most of today.  I think it ended at 4 or 5 PM Pacific time.
