This tool can assist with planning for many typical tax scenarios, but it should only be used as a general guide and not for complex cases. For comprehensive and accurate information, make sure you speak with a tax expert.

Step 1: Open QuickBooks Self-Employed and log in.

Step 2: Navigate to Taxes.

Step 3: Choose one of these:

  • Pick Quarterly on a computer.
  • Choose Tax Estimate while using a mobile device.

Step 4: The top figure represents the potential sum of your unpaid federal income tax and self-employment tax. You can select any number to get information about how it was estimated, the rates used, and more.

How Does QuickBooks Self-Employed Estimate the Taxes?

QuickBooks provides you with a self-employment tax and federal income tax estimation. This is computed by applying income tax rates to your entire self-employment taxable profit from your business as well as any personal income you input from sources other than your business. Applying the tax rates for Medicare and Social Security to the taxable profit from your firm yields the self-employment tax rate.

What You Can Do to Get a Better Estimate?

Step 1: Create Categories in QuickBooks for all of Your Business’s Revenue and Costs

Your self-employed revenue is totaled in QuickBooks. Then it deducts any costs and write-offs you are eligible for. You receive the profit for your company as a result. In addition to this, QuickBooks estimates your revenue for the remaining months of the year using your present profits.

Step 2: Complete the Tax Profile on the Tax Estimate page. You have the option of adding up and entering the income from outside of the business. This is usually as per the ordinary income rates (like salary, wages, etc.)

Don’t include earnings from more complicated tax circumstances, as they can be subject to varying rates of taxation (such as certain retirement income, long-term capital gains from the sale of stock, etc.). At this time, the tool does not enable predicting tax on personal income that may be subject to multiple rates of taxation.

What QuickBooks Self-Employed Doesn’t Calculate:

QuickBooks only Estimates Quarterly Federal Taxes. The following taxes are not computed by it:

  • Selected-cases Standard Deductions (Blind Person, over 65, etc.)
  • Tax Credits
  • State Income Taxes
  • Sales Tax
  • Children’s Interest
  • Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) and AGI-phase outs
  • Stock Payouts, Medical Expenses and 401(K) Draws
