    Hopefully you guys are putting money into a SEP IRA? How about health insurance? Occupational Accident Coverage? Mileage maintenance escrow? Paying your quarterly fed & state taxes?

    It's an IRA structured for self employed folks.

    My reason for mentioning these other items is that if these additional benefits are not included into the pay structure of an owner operator, you're making less than a company guy with benefits in most cases.
     
    McUzi, blade, Zaros and 2 others Thank this.

    I don't pay estimated taxes: state nor fed & never have. What you pay as a penalty for not paying in advance is well worth it imo bc that $$ doesn't get interest when you prepay and could be used to get a return on if you had it in your possession.

    Penalty is <$200 a year.
