If, like the vast majority of self-employed people, you are a sole proprietor (that is, you own your own business), you have to pay estimated taxes if you expect to owe at least $1,000 in federal tax for the year. However, if you didn't have to pay any taxes last year -- for example, because your business didn't make a profit or because you weren't working -- you don't have to pay any estimated tax this year, no matter what you earn. This rule applies only if you were a U.S. citizen or resident for the year and your tax return for the previous year covered the entire 12 months.  more
