If I'm not mistaken, quarterly estimated tax payments are mainly and
fundamentally a self-withholding. Uncle Sam doesn't like us owing him
money until next April 15.

Yes, if you are self-employed you have no salary withheld so you pay
quarterly. But if you've got a regular job and have under withheld in
the past so severely that a penalty has kicked in, he'd like you to pay
quarterly, also.

Thanks Doug. For the record, my tax due (including $42 penalty) is $2750.
Which is a fair amount of money in my view, although probably pocket change
for many who owe taxes. Uncle Sam wanted an additional $1149 per quarter,
which seems a bit excessive to me.
