If you’re self employed, or receive any sort of self-employment type income, then Q2 estimated federal taxes are due today.  Yes, it’s quite odd, when you consider that the second quarter ends June 30th – but this is the federal government we’re talking about here.  Logic need not be applied in many cases, including this one.

The bottom line is this – if you have any estimated payments to make, then it’s time to head over to EFTPS and send Uncle Sam some cash.  It won’t be fun,especially if you’re like me and forget your EFTPS password every single time you log in.  The fact that you’re parting with some of your hard earned cash is even worse.  But, your favorite uncle will assess penalties and interest if you don’t make the correct estimated payments.  So do your best and guesstimate what you owe, and get that crazy uncle paid.
