Filing jointly, can I pay estimated taxes on behalf of my wife's side work?

Personal Finance & Money Asked on August 11, 2021

Quick background: I have an EFTPS account where I’ve paid estimated taxes in the past for some side work in programming. I haven’t used it in years. My wife recently started a free lance writing gig and has earned some 1099-misc income. I’ve tried to set up an EFTPS account for her but that system is maddening and it mailed me something saying something about her information doesn’t match (it didn’t tell me what).

Because we file taxes jointly, can I pay estimated taxes on behalf of her income through my EFTPS account?

One Answer

Yes. If you guys will file jointly, you guys will have a single tax liability, and any taxes paid by either of you (whether it be by tax withholding or paying estimated taxes) counts toward that tax liability.
