conversation: User (kayakguy429): "I recently took on two freelance jobs. The first ran October - April and I was paid $4800, the second ran April to May and I will be compensated $800. I claim 0 on my taxes and make around 40K at my day job. Should I be worried about quarterly taxes? I already paid taxes on the portion of income I had earned October - December in the most recent 2015 tax year, but there is a strong likelihood the larger job will become a yearly reoccurring contract. What is my obligation? (I live in the state of Massachusetts.) \n\n"
  Self: "Your best bet is to check in on your state DOR website to research. I have to report quarterly in Washington state for my small business and it can be a bit of a pain. Mostly because we have a state tax and then each city has its own municipal sales tax as well thats needs to all be reported and paid on. "
