It's that time again: your next quarterly tax installment is due June 15*, which is two-ish weeks from now. I know, it feels like April 15 and your Q1 estimated taxes happened five minutes ago, it's very rude of quarterly taxes to be due again. If you don’t already know how much you’re going to pay in for Q2, now is the time to block out some time on your calendar to get that sorted out.

If your 2026 financial situation is less rosy than your 2025, this is your reminder to check in with your tax pro and see if it makes sense to pay in less tax than they originally estimated. If you’re DIY-ing taxes, the IRS Withholding Calculator is a pretty good tool for answering ‘how much do I need to pay in?’ questions, even if your tax return won’t have any withholding on it.¹ (This is the first quarter that the withholding calculator reflects all of Trump’s 2025 tax law changes. Exciting!)

Back in a week to remind you again,
