It depends. The main concern is that you do not want to have an underpayment situation with your taxes next year where you would receive a penalty. As you noted above, the determination is based on a few factors such as whether you would owe over $1000 in taxes when you file your return next or during the year will you be paying (having withheld) at least 90% of the total taxes that were owed for this past year?
See the full determination questions below -- if you answer YES to at least one of these questions, then you do not need to pay quarterly tax estimates. Another option if you are unsure is to have your withholding amounts increased by your employer by filing a new W-4 form listing a specific additional amount to be withheld each pay period. This can help cover any additional taxes due for your uber and lyft income.
To determine whether you need to make quarterly estimates, answer these questions:
If you answered "no" to all of these questions, you must make estimated tax payments using Form 1040-ES. To avoid a penalty, your total tax payments (estimated taxes plus withholding) during the year must satisfy one of the requirements we just covered.
