If you’re a freelancer, a gig worker, or that friend who “sells vintage lamps on Etsy,” you might owe estimated quarterly payments. These are like smaller installments of your tax bill, sent four times a year. The address for these is also state-specific, but the easiest route is paying online via Direct Pay or the IRS’s “Estimated Tax Payment” portal.
Trust me, it’s way less painful than scrambling to find a stamp at 11:59 PM on April 15th. Speaking from personal, tear-stained experience.
