Quarterly taxes in QB self-employed are WAY OFF and QB isn't helping to fix. Anyone else encounter this?

Several factors may contribute to discrepancies in your quarterly taxes as reported in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE), Moniliberman. I'll share some insights and steps you can take to improve the accuracy of your estimates.

 

In QBSE, your estimated federal income and self-employment taxes are computed by applying income tax rates to your overall taxable business earnings plus any personal income added, along with Social Security and Medicare tax rates.

 

With that, I suggest adding all your business income and expenses and then categorizing them in QuickBooks. Then, complete your tax profile by entering any non-business income taxed at ordinary income rates, like wages or salaries, on the Tax Estimate page.

 

Kindly review this article For detailed information about federal self-employment taxes and QBSE's role in estimating your taxes: Automatically estimate your income tax in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

 

Once your taxes have been computed, you can make your quarterly federal estimated tax payments. This article offers a clear, step-by-step guide on how to do it: Pay federal estimated quarterly taxes in QuickBooks Self-Employed.
