I just started my business in 2021 but I did not make a profit. For 2022 do I need to make quarterly estimated payments?

Perhaps not, it all depends on your income for any given quarter during 2022.  Generally, you must make estimated tax payments for the current tax year if both of the following apply:

  • You expect to owe at least $1,000 in tax for the current tax year after subtracting your withholding and refundable credits.
  • You expect your withholding and refundable credits to be less than the smaller of:
    • 90% of the tax to be shown on your current year’s tax return, or
    • 100% of the tax shown on your prior year’s tax return. (Your prior year tax return must cover all 12 months.)

There are special rules for:

  • Farmers and fishermen
  • Certain household employers
  • Certain higher income taxpayers
  • Nonresident aliens

Here is a link to an IRS FAQ webpage that contains questions about estimated tax payments and responses.  You may find this helpful.
