Can I get advice on filing Estimated Taxes late in the year? (Starting with #3)

[pivotresidential]

I have ALWAYS received a refund when filing taxes. For 2024, I owe about $10k due to my self-employed handyman business doing better. I just discovered this while working on 2024 filing during my extension period. I believe I am forgiven penalties, interest and late fees because I have never owed money in the past. But it makes me think to 2025 taxes that I probably should be paying estimated payments. What is the best way to start paying estimated payments for 2025 now that we are almost 8 months done in the year? I see coupons #3 and #4 dates have not passed yet.

Since you don't have taxes withheld during the year the best way to handle your 2025 taxes for the remainder of the year  would be to pay 110%  of the amount of your 2024 taxes,1/2 in each of the 2 remaining instalments.
