Only if your existing payments aren't enough.

You may avoid the PREPAYMENT of taxes. You may not avoid
the eventual payment of taxes.

If you max out on SS tax, then all you need to pay is MCare
tax 1.45% (double this for SE tax to 2.9%).

Generally the safe harbor is met if you pay as much tax as
last year's tax. At higher incomes it has to be 110% or 115%
of the prior year's tax (unless this has changed in the last
few years).

Default Side income

I have been getting some side income (apart from my regular
W-2) job for the last 2-3 months and it has become quite
sizable (about 1/4th of my annual W-2 income) .

do I need to pay a quaterly estimated tax on that...!

My employer is withholding my taxes just the same as last
year .. Can I avoid paying taxes based on "prior year safe
harbor"....or does IRS doesnt like that.

Also, I've already reached a limit on paying the Social
Security tax for the year from my regular paycheck. (which
is upto firt 80K of your salary ) ... do i still need to pay
full social security self employemnt tax ( 15% )

thanks in advance,
nik
