FAQ
How do I calculate my estimated tax?
Add up all expected income sources. Subtract the standard deduction ($15,000 single, $30,000 married). Apply federal tax brackets (10-37%). Add self-employment tax (15.3% of 92.35% of SE income) if applicable. Add state income tax based on your state's rates.
What is the 2026 standard deduction?
For 2026, the standard deduction is $15,000 for single filers, $30,000 for married filing jointly, $22,500 for head of household. These amounts are adjusted annually for inflation. Most taxpayers take the standard deduction rather than itemizing.
When do I need to pay estimated taxes?
If you expect to owe $1,000+ in taxes and your withholding won't cover at least 90% of your tax liability (or 100% of prior year tax), you must make quarterly estimated payments. Due dates are April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15.
