Making Estimated Payments

If you receive a substantial amount of non-wage income like self-employment income, investment income, taxable Social Security benefits, or pension and annuity income, you should make quarterly estimated tax payments. Log in to your online account to make a payment online or go to IRS.gov/payments.

Individuals, including sole proprietors, partners, and S corporation shareholders, generally must make estimated tax payments if they expect to owe tax of $1,000 or more when their return is filed.

Corporations generally must make estimated tax payments if they expect to owe tax of $500 or more when their return is filed.

Quarterly estimated tax payments for the 2025 tax year will be due:
