Pay estimated quarterly self employment taxes. First time. I have a schedule C worksheet done already.

It looks like I'm starting a tax return, but I only want to pay estimated quarterly tax at this point. How do I do that?

What tax year do you want to pay the quarterly estimated taxes, fourth quarter 2016 or first quarter 2017?

4th Q 2016

[DoninGA · Accepted solution]

Go to this IRS website for payment options.  Indicate that you want to use Form 1040-ES for tax year 2016 - https://www.irs.gov/payments

The fourth quarter 2016 payment has to be paid on or before January 17, 2017.
