Current rate is 4% per quarter so $4K to $8K ... 


Failure to pay proper estimated tax: Internal Revenue Code §6654

  • Estimated tax payments are generally required, if you expect to owe at least $1,000 in tax after subtracting withholding and refundable credits.
  • Generally calculated on Form 2210
  • We calculate the penalty separately for each required installment. The number of days late is first determined and then multiplied by the effective interest rate for the installment period.
  • See Publication 505 for more information.

Actually, it is 4% per year.

It also depends on what your prior year tax was, and if you mean $100,000 of income or $100,000 of tax.

The sooner you make an Estimated Tax payment, the smaller your penalty will be.
