Cash Flow

    Estimated Tax Payments

    Definition

    Quarterly tax prepayments required by the IRS for individuals and entities with significant income not subject to withholding.

    Why it matters

    Underpayment triggers penalties; overpayment ties up cash. The 13-week cash flow model should always reflect the next estimated payment so it doesn't blindside you.
