Quarterly Estimated Tax Setup in New Albany, OH
If you expect to owe more than $1,000 in taxes at year-end, the IRS requires quarterly estimated tax payments via Form 1040-ES. This typically applies to self-employed New Albany residents, gig workers, freelancers, landlords, and retirees with significant investment income. Underpaying triggers a penalty (currently ~8% annualized). We calculate your quarterly obligation based on actual numbers, not guesswork.

When are quarterly tax payments due?+
April 15 (Q1: Jan-Mar income), June 15 (Q2: Apr-May), September 15 (Q3: Jun-Aug), January 15 of next year (Q4: Sep-Dec). Late payments accrue penalty even if you eventually pay in full.
What's the "safe harbor" rule?+
You avoid the underpayment penalty if you pay (through withholding + estimates) at least 100% of last year's total tax — or 110% if your AGI was over $150,000. This is often easier than projecting current year income, especially with variable freelance income.
I have a W-2 job AND side income. Do I need quarterly estimates?+
You might not — if you increase your W-2 withholding enough to cover side income tax. Submit a new W-4 to your employer with extra withholding. This avoids quarterly estimates and the headache of separate payments.
How far is your office from New Albany?+
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus is approximately 7 miles from New Albany — typically a 15-minute drive. We're on the north side of Columbus between Cleveland Ave and I-71 with free parking. Walk in any day Monday through Saturday 10am–6pm, or Sunday 10am–4pm.
Do New Albany residents owe school district income tax?+
If you live within the New Albany-Plain Local Schools boundary, you may owe Ohio school district income tax on top of federal and Ohio IT-1040 state tax. The SD-100 return is filed alongside your Ohio return. We handle all three (federal, state, school district) as part of standard tax preparation.
