Question:   When are the quarterly estimated tax returns due?


Answer:   
  • You only make estimated tax payments using payment vouchers.  There is not an estimated tax return.
  • Your first estimated tax payment is usually due the 15th of April.
  • You may pay the entire year's estimated tax at that time, or
  • You may pay your estimated tax in four payments that are due April 15th, June 15th, September 15th, and January 15th of the following year.
  • If the due date for making an estimated tax payment falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the payment will be on time if you make it on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.
