Estimated tax payments
If you're self-employed or have income not subject to withholding, you generally need to make quarterly estimated payments. Missing or underpaying can result in a penalty. Call us if you're not sure whether you need to pay estimates.
Extensions
An extension gives you more time to file — not more time to pay. If you owe tax, payment is still due by the April 15 deadline even if you file later. We can help you estimate what you owe so you avoid underpayment penalties.
