Avoid a 7% Estimated Tax Penalty (or Worse) — Here’s How

April 25, 2025

“Don’t Let the IRS Penalize You
for Missing an Estimated Tax Deadline”

To get my complete article
with all the details…

The IRS won’t send you a reminder—but it will send you a penalty.

Miss just one of the quarterly estimated tax deadlines, and you could owe a 7% penalty (or more). For high earners, the true cost can hit over 11% thanks to non-deductibility.

The good news? You can fight back with smart withholding strategies that make those penalties disappear—even if you’re playing catch-up in Q4.

In this must-read article, we break down:

  • The safe harbor rules that help you stay penalty-free
  • A bonus strategy (and its hidden cost)
  • How W-2 withholding or IRA rollovers can rescue your tax year

Don’t wait until the IRS comes knocking.
