Which of the following statements about gig workers and estimated taxes is accurate? Taxpayers: With side hustles should estimate their total combined income and either adjust Form W-2 withholdings or make estimated payments to keep up with the pay-as-you-go tax system. Who have a Form W-2 job in addition to a side gig never need to worry about estimated payments. Since they are having taxes withheld at their day job, they cannot be hit with penalties for underpayment. Can estimate their total combined tax in the fourth quarter of the tax year and make an estimated payment by January 15 to cover any withholding shortfall. This will always prevent penalties from being assessed. Must make estimated payments on the four specified dates. There is no other way to avoid underpayment penalties.

If a taxpayer has a balance due, the tax preparer may need to determine if estimated payments will be necessary for the next year. If they are necessary, what steps should the tax preparer take? Calculate the payment amounts and provide federal Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals, and the state equivalent for the taxpayer. Have the taxpayer file Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, and pay any balances six months later. File Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, for the taxpayer. File Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request, for the taxpayer.
