Refund from paying estimated quarterly taxes

[chasityvaughn]

If I'm self employed for 2017, and make all estimated quarterly payments for the correct amounts and by the deadlines will I receive a refund in 2018 for the 2017 tax year?

If the amount of estimated tax payments you make in 2017 are greater than your tax liability, then Yes, you would receive a refund.

The refund would be the difference between the amount of estimated taxes paid for 2017 and the 2017 tax liability.
