Heads up: If you're earning income that doesn't get federal tax withheld automatically—think freelance gigs, investment returns, or crypto gains—the IRS expects you to make quarterly estimated tax payments. Skipping these can mean penalties down the line. Planning ahead beats scrambling at tax time.

Oh no, you really need to pay attention to quarterly tax, or else the fines will outweigh the benefits.

Bro, now that you mention it, I just remembered the last time I forgot to pay quarterly taxes and got fined until I was crying...

NGL quarterly tax is really easy to overlook, and you could get fined and lose a lot... My colleague didn't report their crypto gains and is still dealing with it now.
