2009 Estimated Tax Calendar |
For estimated tax purposes, the year is divided into four payment periods. Each period has a specific payment due date. If you do not pay enough tax by the due date of each of the payment periods, you may be charged a penalty even if you are due a refund when you file your income tax return.
Here are the payment periods and estimated tax due dates:
January 15: Estimated tax due.
Fourth-quarter (September 1-December 31) estimated tax payment (using Form 1040-ES) for 2008 is due. You may delay making this payment (using form 1040-ES) until Jan. 31 if you file your 2008 return (Form 1040) and pay any tax due by Jan. 31.
April 15: Estimated tax due.
First-quarter (January 1-March 31) estimated tax payment (using Form 1040-ES) for 2009 is due.
