Many small businesses and self-employed individuals in the U.S. have federal tax obligations that require reporting and/or payments throughout the year, not just annually.

• **Estimated Income Tax:** Required if you expect to owe $1,000 or more in federal tax. Payments are typically made quarterly (Form 1040-ES).
• **Payroll Taxes:** If you have employees, you must report and pay federal income tax withholding, Social Security, and Medicare taxes quarterly (Form 941).

This tool helps you plan for these quarterly obligations based on your business information for a selected tax year. It provides standard due dates and lists relevant reporting tasks.

* Standard due dates are April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15 of the next year. Dates are adjusted to the next business day if they fall on a weekend or holiday. This tool includes weekend adjustments but may not account for all specific federal holidays.

This is a planning tool based on general requirements. Consult with a qualified tax professional for advice specific to your business.
