Quarterly Tax Reminder...
 

I had no idea where to post this, but I figure most of us who are self-employed in poker or other professions frequent the Zoo.

Today is June 15, the end of the stupid 2 month "second quarter". Federal and state (if applicable) quarterly estimated taxes need to be in the mail. Bye-bye 15% of my bankroll.

Ps. Don't shoot the messenger

Yeah. Talk about asinine. My wife and I had words when she said that the Q2 taxes were due. I said that's not true, we just paid in April. Ergo, next quarterly is due 7/15. Wrong. I was pwned by Mrs. usmfan.

Yeah that's why I figured I'd post this. If my Dad wouldn't have reminded me I would be filing these things one month late [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

People who need to file quarterly estimates in their state. Wisconsin requires it, that's for sure.

I'm no tax expert, but I don't think you have to worry about it yet.

Quarterlies are due if you're self-employed and/or have other investments generating substantial income on an annual basis.

Your quarterlies are based on your previous year's income generated from self-employment and/or other investments. So, if you weren't in this situation last year (2004), you don't have to worry about it this year, but I might be totally incorrect.

Generally, you should make estimated tax payments if you will owe tax of $1,000 or more, after withholding and credits.

As I understand it, one exception is if your 2005 withholdings (assuming you also have a "regular" job) will at least equal your 2004 tax liabilitiy. If that is true, you will not be penalized for not paying quarterly.
