estimated tax payments

[Vanhawk]

I have enough withholding from my W2 to cover my earned tax liability.  I often get capital gain and dividend distributions  in December that put me into owing taxes.  It usually is more than the 90% rule allows.  Can I just make one estimated tax payment in Jan to cover the liability or will I be penalized for not paying 4 equal estimated tax payments?  Thanks

Yes, you can skip quarterly estimated tax payments altogether or just make a singe payment and not be liable for underpayment penalties  if you have enough withholding during the year.
