If you want to lie about your deductions and then probably pay a penalty for underpaying withholdings at the end of the year... Then sure.

I don't want to lie or pay a penalty. I just would rather keep the with held amount in my bank account, grab a bit of interest, then pay the IRS every 3 months.

I'm better at managing money than the family. This would shift the burden of paying my share of income tax every 3 months.

The option I listed is the option available to you. If you don't like that option then you have pay the appropriate withholdings like every other schmoe in America.

An employer is supposed to send in his/her/its employees' withholding every quarter. I want to do it instead.

Essentially the IRS is getting their cut, on time.

Is this wrong?

Talk to accountant.

owner operators that work for delivery service companies pay their taxes at the end of the year. they don't deduct any taxes off their pay every paycheque.

the smarter ones pay theirs every quarter so they don't get buttfuck at the end of the year with taxes.

i live in canada by the way.

If you owe less than $1,000 a year, then the IRS shouldn't assess penalties. The only time they do is if you are self-employed and don't make estimated tax payments, pay late, or some shit like that. There might be other small reasons here or there that they'd penalize you, but if you don't owe over 1,000, then they probably won't take interest in you.

If you want to be perfectly safe, then you have to send in 100/110% (which depends on which tax bracket you're in) of your last year's federal tax liability. Then you shouldn't have a penalty (again, unless you're doing screwy things with self-employed quarterlies).

So yes, you can do this. In most cases, the IRS won't care. Just send them in on time in equal installments that are at least 100/110% of your previous year's tax liability.
