Hello as a sole proprietor hairstylist .
curious what is the actually amount of money fee for not paying quarterly vs paying at the end of each year ?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
for paying too little, or no estimated tax during the year,
there is a penalty which can be significant.
IRS requires you to estimate your total tax for the year and pay as you go.
Here is the IRS withholding estimator, which will allow you to determine if you owe money to the IRS, and therefore need to make estimates: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/tax-withholding-estimator
The IRS will not charge you an underpayment penalty if: You pay at least 90% of the tax you owe for the current year, or 100% of the tax you owed for the previous tax year, or. You owe less than $1,000 in tax after subtracting withholdings and credits.
Here is an article about how the penalty is calculated: https://www.irs.gov/payments/underpayment-of-estimated-tax-by-individuals-penalty
Here is an article the IRS published recently about the penalty rates: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/interest-rates-remain-the-same-for-the-third-quarter-of-2023#:~:text=Fo...
For individuals, the rate for overpayments and underpayments will be 7% per year, compounded daily. Here is a complete list of the new rates:
