Who writes tax laws. For reals. This week I'm aiming to wrap my head more specifically around what I need to track, how, where, etc. for this whole self-employment thing. And it's become clear I need professional help with this, even though I'm pretty good with numbers in general and better at tax stuff than the average joe, but I need to know what I don't know - so I have an appointment tomorrow with a professional.

But seriously what the French toast. How do you call something 'estimated quarterly tax payments', when they literally aren't made quarterly. January, April, June, September (when not delayed due to a global pandemic). April-June is not a quarter of the year. Neither is September-January. Would it have been that difficult just to go January, April, July, October and have this make sense?

What even is the purpose of this?
