Quarterly estimated payments are due in April, June, September, and January. Creators who skip them get hit with IRS underpayment penalties every year. This calculator uses 2024 brackets and a simplified state rate — your actual liability depends on deductions, credits, and local taxes. Talk to a CPA who works with self-employed creators before filing.
