Quarterly Estimated Tax Payments – Reminder

If you are making quarterly estimated tax payments to the IRS, the due date for the September 1st – December 31st, 2021 quarter of the year is January 18th, 2022. You may be able to skip the January 18th payment if you file your 2021 return by January 31st, 2022, and pay all tax due.

2021 Form 1040ES Instructions

For payments made using IRS Direct Pay, you can make payments until 11:45 PM EST, and for payments using a credit or debit card, payments can be made up to midnight on the due date.
