📌 Second Quarter Estimated Tax Payment Due Reminder
If you make estimated tax payments, your second payment for the year is coming due. While the IRS refers to these as “quarterly” estimated taxes, the payment schedule isn’t evenly divided into traditional calendar quarters.
These payments are designed to cover your estimated annual income tax liability in four equal installments—but the due dates occur at uneven intervals throughout the year.
Here’s how the schedule works:
✔️ First payment due about 3½ months into the year
✔️ Second payment due about 5½ months into the year
✔️ Third payment due about 8½ months into the year
✔️ Final payment due about 12½ months after the year begins
Missing a payment or underpaying can result in penalties and interest, so it’s important to stay on track and review your estimated tax obligations regularly.
👉 Make sure your payments are accurate and submitted on time.
Stay compliant and avoid surprises at tax time.
