Tax Time! Quarterly Estimated Tax Payments Are Due

If you make quarterly estimated tax payments, as many WAHM independent contractors do, you have a week to get your check to the Internal Revenue Service. The due date for the fourth quarter 2008 payment is January 15, 2009.

If you plan to file and pay your 2008 income taxes by January 31, you have until then. I am never confident enough in my ability to file my taxes by that date to risk it, so I am writing a check today. And if you've misplaced the estimated tax payment vouchers since you used them September (like me), print new ones by downloading the 1040-ES form from the IRS' website.
