I’ve never done quarterly payments, but I recommend it as a good idea. Especially after being audited due to a mistake. Problem was the minimal penalty, due to lack of pre payment,applied to the amount I owed also,on top of that, interest on everything (only 4.5%,) the real killer was penalty, I believe 10%? Of the outstanding balance charged per month.Since it took them 11 mos for them to catch the mistake and contact Me, $2200 turned into a $4000 unexpected bill. So I would advise pre paying, worst thing that can happen is you get a refund.

You're better off owing the MOB money than Uncle Sam. At least the MOB will kill you and put you out of your misery. The IRS is a lifetime of suffering until you get out from under them.

Sean's not a trucker. He's a CPA accountant. He does have a lot of truckers as clients, but I do like to hear from other experienced truckers as well. I was in business for myself. I never heard of throwing away receipts. Sean didn't recommend that either.

There is always multiple ways to skin a cat and taxes and tax preparation is no different it very From situation to situation on what’s the best way to go about it. If u are going to be investing a lot of income into the business for the tax year paying in can be a waist of time .
