Estimated taxes

Never miss a quarterly payment

If you're self-employed, a contractor, a landlord or have income with no withholding, the IRS and Indiana expect you to pay tax four times a year. Get a free email reminder before each due date.

Upcoming due dates

When a due date falls on a weekend or holiday, it moves to the next business day. Indiana (Form IT-40ES) uses the same dates as the IRS.

You generally avoid a penalty if you pay at least 100% of last year's tax (110% if your income was over $150,000), or 90% of this year's tax.
