Quarterly
“I just started a new side hustle in late November, do I have to make a quarterly payment in January for just two months of part-time work?”
A new side hustle that begins in late November can raise estimated tax questions, but the answer often depends on how much income was earned, whether there is other withholding or estimated tax already in place, and how the business is structured. For a short period of part-time work, the timing of payments can vary based on when the income was received and how much tax is expected on that income. Recordkeeping for the late-November start date, the amount collected, and any related expenses often helps determine whether a January payment is relevant. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
