Bechtel CPA

Helping clients feel supported, confident, and less stressed during tax season is always our goal.

We’re so grateful for kind words like these and proud to build long-term relationships with our clients. Thank you, Gabrielle, for trusting Ashley and the Bechtel CPA team with your tax needs. We’re excited to continue working together for years to come!

Quarterly tax payments are typically due four times per year:

• April 15
• June 15
• September 15
• January 15 (following year)

If a due date falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline moves to the next business day.

Missing payments or paying too little throughout the year can sometimes lead to IRS penalties and interest, even if you receive a refund when filing your return.

Staying ahead of deadlines can help avoid surprises later on.

The small choices you make today build the life you are working toward.
Do one thing today that your future self will be proud of.

There’s nothing better than hearing that we helped make tax season feel a little less overwhelming.

At Bechtel CPA, we know business owners already have enough moving parts to manage. Our goal is to create a smooth, organized, and stress-free experience so you can focus on running your business with confidence.

Thank you, Eric, for trusting our team with your businesses and your taxes this year!

If you’re self-employed or own a business, taxes usually are not automatically withheld from your income like they are for W-2 employees. That’s where quarterly estimated tax payments come in.

Quarterly taxes are payments made throughout the year to help cover your expected federal and state tax liability. They typically apply to:
• Business owners
• Freelancers
• Independent contractors
• Side hustlers
• Anyone earning income without tax withholding

Making estimated payments throughout the year can help you avoid large tax bills and potential penalties at filing time.

Need help figuring out if quarterly taxes apply to you? Bechtel CPA is here to help.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the courage, sacrifice, and service of the heroes who gave everything for our freedom.

We remember and thank them today and always. 🇺🇸

What comes naturally to you is valuable to someone else.
Do not hold back. Your perspective, your ideas, your voice all matter more than you realize.

How Long Does It Take?

Amended returns are not quick.

Unlike standard returns, amended returns are processed manually by the IRS. That means:
• Processing can take up to 20 weeks or more
• Refunds (if applicable) take longer to arrive
• Status updates are limited

Patience is key here but filing accurately the first time (and fixing it correctly if needed) is what matters most.
