Up until this year (2007), I was employed by a company and they withheld my taxes. I've always withheld enough and usually got a tax refund each year.
Starting Jan 1, 2007 this year, I switched to a self employed contractor status. The employer paid me gross amount each month with no withholding.
Since I had no penalties or tax underpayment in the past, I was not required to pay estimated quarterly tax payments this year.
My question is: I know I will have to make a big tax payment on April 15, 2008 since I didn't have any withholding and didn't make any estimated tax payments this year.
Should I make a big estimated tax payment this month before the end of the year, or would I get charged interest/penalty anyway for not making payments earlier this year in prior quarters?
