Quarterly
“I haven't paid my quarterly estimated taxes all year because I forgot, what exactly happens when I file my tax return in April?”
Filing a return after skipping quarterly estimated payments often brings a few moving parts together at once. The final tax return may show a balance due, and the IRS may also assess an underpayment charge that depends on the amount owed, the timing of the missing payments, and whether enough tax was paid through withholding or other credits. The result can vary based on total income, filing status, and any payments made before filing. If the return is filed electronically, the balance and any related notices are typically calculated after the return is processed. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
