How to use this tracker

  2. Pay through IRS Direct Pay or another approved method.
  3. Check off the quarter and keep the confirmation number with your records.

Paying by state? Most states with an income tax run their own four-quarter schedule, and some of the dates do not match the federal ones. The state tax guide covers California, Texas, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and New York.

This is a planning aid, not a filing reminder service. State deadlines and special due-date rules can differ; verify dates with the IRS and your state tax agency.
