What are estimated taxes? The IRS has two basic ways in which it taxes a person’s income:

Withholding- When your employees takes taxes out of your each paycheck then it known as withholding. This withholding goes toward social security, Medicare taxes and
income.

Estimated taxes- In case you are self-employed and work for yourself then you need to do your own withholding. You yourself have to estimate your expenses, deductions, income and pay taxes on the estimates on a quarterly basis.

When you are required to make payment on your estimates 4 times in a year, then it is called “quarterly” taxes. This Quarterly payment goes under your self-employment tax. This tax covers your share of Social Security and Medicare taxes on the self-employed money earned by you. You get to set aside money to cover the tax and send it to the IRS throughout the year because you are your own employer.
