New C corp. (Jan. 07). On track to gross over 100K. Are estimated federal tax payments (quarterly) required in the first year and if so, how are they figured? (I would prefer not to pay until years end) Thanks, DB
You need to pay estimates to the IRS & the state(s)
Ask your CPA/tax professional to help you with the calculation from your ytd trial balance. ___________________________________

I hate to disagree with a pro while I am just an amateur :-) but there is no requirement for a C Corp to pay estimated taxes unless they expect to have profit above some minimal amount at the end of the year.
Small, personal service C Corporations often operate so they have very small profit at the end of the year. When a salary payment is made to the employees of the corporation, the corporation DOES have to withhold and then deposit federal and state income taxes, and both the employee and company share of social security and Medicare and also any state unemployment taxes. However, these are not estimated taxes, which are based on the income of the corporation, which very well might be $0 in spite of the $100K gross.
