When you start your own business, you also have to start paying quarterly taxes. As long as your company has been in business for 12 months, and you’re making profits, the IRS will expect you to pay estimated taxes. To calculate your estimated taxes, you will need to use last year’s tax return and a specific worksheet. Each quarter, you will be expected to pay 25% of what you estimate owing the IRS at the end of the year. This is a lot to keep track of when you are first starting out, and many owners choose to hire accountants or bookkeepers for assistance and input.
Even after all of this, you will also still be required to file an annual return in the spring. Not only is it challenging to keep track of all these bits and pieces throughout the quarters, but overlooking the annual file could lead to all kinds of problems come spring. Overpaying on your quarterly taxes means getting more in your return in April, and underpaying means you will have to pay even more in April. Instead of guessing at what you owe and discovering surprises on your return, bookkeeping services are an excellent way to keep your taxes in order.
