REMEMBER:
This tax calendar is for federal tax deadlines only. Most states have tax deadlines too, and they often fall in step with the federal tax calendar. If you are unsure what is due for your state, reach out to your accountant or Google “Tax Deadlines + Your State”.
A QUICK NOTE:
Estimated taxes are usually based off your prior year’s tax return. If you see a huge uptick in business, or a huge downturn, make sure to have your tax professional adjust your payments accordingly.
