When you have a missed estimated tax payment it can result in non-deductible penalties. If you’ve experienced a missed estimated tax payment, it’s crucial to act quickly. Make timely payments via IRS Direct Pay or EFTPS—secure and convenient methods to help you avoid the penalties.
Key Deadlines for Estimated Tax Payments
- Due dates. For tax year 2024, payment deadlines are April 15, June 17, and September 16, 2024, and January 15, 2025. For tax year 2025, payments are due April 15, June 16, and September 15, 2025, and January 15, 2026.
- Avoid penalties. Pay at least 90 percent of your current year’s tax or 100 percent of last year’s tax—or 110 percent if prior-year adjusted gross income (AGI) exceeds $150,000.
- Exceptions. Uneven income earners can use the annualized income method to align payments with earnings.
Catch-up Missed Estimated Tax Payments
Catching up on missed estimated tax payments stops the penalty from accruing further but does not achieve forgiveness for the previous penalty assessed
