Ways to pay
- IRS Direct Pay — free, no account needed. Choose reason “Estimated tax”, tax year 2026, and pay from your bank account (e-check).
- EFTPS — free IRS system; enroll once (takes about a week), then schedule all payments for the year in advance.
- Debit / credit card — through an IRS-approved processor (processing fee applies).
- Mail a check — make it payable to “United States Treasury”, write your SSN, “2026 1040-ES”, and the due-date quarter on it, and include the payment voucher from Form 1040-ES (address depends on your state — see the instructions).
When to pay (2026 due dates)

To avoid underpayment penalties, pay at least 90% of your 2026 tax or 100% of your 2025 tax (110% if 2025 AGI was over $150,000), or owe under $1,000 at year end.
Texas has no state income tax, so you owe nothing to the state — only the federal payments above apply.
If you later move or do business in another state, update the state selection to see that state’s payment instructions.
Estimates use 2026 federal brackets, the $184,500.00 Social Security wage base, and state and local rates as of January 1, 2026. It assumes standard deduction only, no dependents, credits, or state-specific adjustments, and does not model every QBI or state phase-out. Confirm with your accountant before making payments.
Estimates only, not advice. This tool provides an informational estimate of 2026 self-employment, federal, and state/local taxes. It is not tax, legal, or accounting advice, and it is not a substitute for a licensed professional.
Not a filed return. Nothing entered here is a tax return, and nothing is filed with the IRS or any state agency. Payments and filings remain your responsibility.
How the estimate is calculated. Figures use 2026 federal brackets, the $184,500 Social Security wage base, the standard deduction, a 20% QBI deduction, and state and local rates as of January 1, 2026. It does not account for dependents, tax credits, itemized deductions, estimated payments already made, or state-specific adjustments. Your actual tax liability may differ, in some cases materially.
Confirm before you act. Always review the results with a licensed CPA, enrolled agent, or tax attorney before making estimated payments or filing.
