<prompt> Human: My wife and Is combined income is roughly 150k a year. In August of 2017 she left her job and started working for her dads construction company after our child was born, which meant that taxes were not being taken out of her check. After entering the w-2s from my job and her old job, the 1099-MSIC from her new job, taking the child tax credit, and the mortgage interest deduction we still owe a lot. I was wondering if this might be the time to go to a CPA instead of using TurboTax? For the record things like saving receipts was a hard habit to form since taking the job so we are still taking the standard deduction. Thanks in advance for any advice you have!Assistant: Since she is 1099 thay means she has to pay self-employment taxes like FICA. Which causes you to pay more tax. plus she should have been sending in estimated taxes quarterly. I was 1099 and used Turbo tax just fine.Human: Thanks! Can you use TT to pay quarterly?  <response>: You dont need any software to make quarterly estimated tax payments. Just go online and pay with a credit card. You may also need to make estimated tax payments to your state.
