Quarterly Estimated Taxes:
Set It and Forget It
Crash course: The IRS wants “pay‑as‑you‑go.” Miss the deadlines (April 15, June 15, Sept 15, Jan 15) and you’ll owe penalties even if you get a refund later.
Action plan:
Estimate 25–30 % of net profit.
Move that cash to a “Tax Stash” account after each payday.
Use EFTPS.gov or your tax software to send the payment.
Clarity Wayfinder Takeaway: Open the Tax Stash account today and automate transfers right after each client payment lands.
