Estimated taxes
Estimated tax is the method used to pay tax on income when no tax—or not enough tax—is withheld. You may be required to make estimated tax payments to New York State if:
- you receive certain types of taxable income and no tax is withheld, or
- you are subject to the MCTMT.
Examples of workers who might have to make estimated tax payments include cash earners, sole proprietors, self-employed individuals, contractors, freelance workers, temporary or seasonal workers, and per diem workers.
