    Does that help? ;-)

    I'd set aside 25% of $2,900 a month then. File a 941 quarterly and send it in to the IRS. If you have a State income tax, I'd set aside whatever that rate is and file the State form every quarter too.

    You might want to call a tax preparer/cpa though and get some input from them.

    Great advice. It sucks to not have that money to run on, but sucks worse to not have money to pay your taxes. If you have a less then expected year they will refund the money but it takes a couple months to get it after filing your return in the spring.

    You could not pay quarterly but you will get a penalty year end. If your company is not very big then it's not that severe.

    Like Scooter said though, consult a professional.

    @Scooter Jones and @JL of Indiana have it.

    Miss G does the following.

    Takes 12.5% of 1099 revenue and sets aside.
    Pays quarterly estimates.
    Pays me as an employee on mileage - taxes to state, fed, FICA - the whole nine yards.
    Money into maintenance accounts, truck and trailer payment accounts, equipment upgrade account, and what if accounts.

    If tax is to be paid - you have it. If not - expand business.

    All above is very subjective to your situation.

    Consult CPA.

    You're welcome.

    And -

    2900 from 14000 - is 20.7%.

    I'm happy with 60% in my court, but I'm always fighting 50%.

    20% would require a whole new business plan for me.
