But if I make the estimated payment and don't owe anything come filing time (even get a small refund perhaps), I still have to pay a penalty because the 1st three quarters were low? Yes. It's a pay-as-you-go system. You have the information to calculate how much the penalty would be, so you can compare that to what the opportunity cost of the ES payment would be and make a fully-informed decision.
