Hello! When do you start filing self employed quarterly? Which month in the year?

Hi mizsatta1,

Thanks for your question.

For tax year 2023, the following payment dates apply for avoiding penalties:

1st Quarterly Estimated Tax Payment	April 18, 2023
2nd Quarterly Estimated Tax Payment	June 15, 2023
3rd Quarterly Estimated Tax Payment	September 15, 2023
4th Quarterly Estimated Tax Payment	January 15, 2024

The same months/days apply each year.

Hello,

The quarterly payments start on 4/15 of every year the next quarterly payments are due: 6/15, 9/15 and 1/15. If you haven't made your payments on those quarterly dates the IRS can charge you a penalty. Best practice is to make the payments that are over due as soon as you are able.
