What is Safe Harbor?

Safe Harbor is an IRS provision that protects you from underpayment penalties - even if you end up owing more tax at year-end. It's a "minimum payment guarantee" that keeps you penalty-free.

The Core Rule:

If you pay at least one of these amounts in quarterly estimated taxes, the IRS won't penalize you:

  • 100% of prior year tax (110% if AGI > $150K)
  • 90% of current year tax
