Serious tax question!

Does anyone make quarterly tax payments?  Is there a way around this?  I already claim 0 and I think DH claims 1.  We have 2 rental properties AKA our old houses, that's the only thing I can think that might be triggering this.

When I worked a side job as an independent contractor, I was under the impression that quarterly tax payments were a suggestion, not a requirement. I think they want you to do it so that you are not stuck with a huge tax payment on April 15.

Honestly, I really don't know much about this, that is all that I can think of.

mskatiep did you pay all of your taxes April 15 and not spread them out?

DH does our taxes and I know we have owed over $1,000 for at least 2 years. He told me this means quarterly payments. I said can you just change what you claim? I feel like we must be able to adjust things some how, but I know nothing.

If he changes his 1 to a zero then it will take the max out all year long and should possibly eradicate you having to pay.
