Sometimes I hate my government. They seriously can’t space the due dates evenly throughout the year?

Why do you object to the way they have them?

Well, without doing the math, that looks to be approximately every 90 days, or every third month but adjusted to a business day?

But this is why I prefer to have withholdings for all my taxible income.

Actually the one from April to June is only two months.

I don’t think it’s too much to ask for quarterly payments to be due at the same time each quarter. Unless the rules were designed by people trying to make it more burdensome than it needs to be so that citizens will feel like they need to hire professional help.

That’s what the calendar app on your cell phone is for. Just enter the dates with an alarm to remind you when to send in your payments. Try it… it’s easy…

Sometimes the government just makes more work for you because it can, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

You can run for office and change it…

Some of old grumps don’t have a smart phone. [there are a few of us dinosaurs]

I’m not corrupt enough to be elected to federal office. Plus, I’ll bet this is an IRS rule, and not something Congress ever voted on.

Maybe they should just require you file every every month… or maybe every payday… THAT would be easy to remember! And then we could forget about those pesky quarterly estimated taxes…

Thanks for the info. Last year I set up scheduled payments on my IRS and State tax website accounts to pay the estimates. It took some time to set up all the payments but I felt it was worth it in the long run. I did have the info on my google calendar as well as a reminder and you also get an email before they take it out of your checking account.
