Contracting With Gig Work

[CherylC2]

Hello, 

If okay, I have a few questions about contracting with gigs:

1. I am new at contracting and almost at the $400 mark where I plan to make above that in the near future with more contracting; do I start estimating after I make $400 or do I include anything before that, too?
2. How do I estimate the quarterly tax if the contractor job(s) I have fluctuates in the amount of available work- sometimes there might not be much or anything?
3. Does the NYS tax work the same way as the federal for quarterly estimates?
4. I was trying to find a good estimate calculator for 2022 and couldn't yet find it on Turbo Tax-only saw what I could save, but I would like to calculate the estimates; where can I find an estimation calculator for 2022?

Thanks!

You will be required to make estimated tax payments to New York State if you expect to owe at least $300 of either New York State or NYC tax.
