California estimated tax payments

[Donna90]

Can I pay all three of my California estimated tax payments in one payment?

You can as long as the amount equals the sum of what you would pay in the 3 payments.

You can pay estimated taxes ahead of earning the money, if you want. Normally people wait until they earn the money. You won't be earning interest. It will be considered a large sum for the first quarter payment. As long as you don't owe at the end of the year, this shouldn't be a problem since the payment annualized will be large.
