Estimated Taxes for Freelancers in Florida: What You Need to Know

🇪🇸 Leer en Español

If you're a freelancer or self-employed in Florida, the IRS expects you to pay taxes four times a year through estimated payments. Missing them means penalties — even if you pay in full by April 15.

At Gator Agent, we help self-employed workers in Palm Beach County manage quarterly tax obligations.

When Are They Due?

  • Q1: April 15
  • Q2: June 15
  • Q3: September 15
  • Q4: January 15

How to Calculate

Pay 100% of last year's tax divided by 4 (safe harbor), or 90% of this year's estimated tax. Include self-employment tax (15.3%) and federal income tax.

Florida Advantage

No state income tax — you only pay federal estimated taxes.

Common Deductions

Home office, mileage, health insurance, equipment, and half your SE tax. See our deductions guide.
