<human>: Hello everybody,

I recently graduated from dental school last year, worked for 3 months in 2013 and filed my taxes normally (the annual april tax date).

Since then I've been working in 2014, but didn't really realize I was supposed to pay quarterly an estimated tax.... (ya, I'm retarded) I contacted my tax person, and she said that I'm already late, and I should just put aside around 15% of my monthly earnings, and pay everything at the end. I've been reading online that there are penalties per day for being late. Should I attempt to meet the other deadlines

" Important: California differs from federal To avoid an estimate penalty, you must pay at least:

30 percent First quarter (April 15)
40 percent Second quarter (June 15)
0 percent Third quarter (September 15)
30 percent Fourth quarter (January 15)

If so, should I pay the first quarter along with the second quarter in one payment?

Also, not really sure how I'm supposed to estimate my income, as I only worked 3 months last year.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

sorry for the wall of text.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
