For Capital Compass clients
Know your quarterly tax payment before it's due.
A planning tool for Maryland small-business owners — especially those married to a W-2 employee — that turns a paystub, last year's return and your books into a clear federal and Maryland payment plan for 2026.

Same dates for the IRS and the Comptroller of Maryland.
How it works
Grab three things
The W-2 spouse's most recent paystub, last year's tax return, and your business income & expenses to date.
Walk through the planner
Six short screens. We project the rest of the year, run the 2026 federal and Maryland math, and check the safe-harbor rules.
Pay with confidence
See exactly what to send the IRS and the Comptroller of Maryland for the next quarter — or how much extra to withhold from a paycheck instead.
Built for owner + W-2 households
Schedule C profit, self-employment tax, QBI, and a spouse's withholding all in one estimate.
Maryland-specific
County local rates, Maryland deductions and exemptions, the 2% capital-gains surtax and Maryland's 110% safe harbor.
Prepared with your firm
Capital Compass can pre-fill values from your prior-year return and lock them so your estimate starts from verified numbers.
Private by design
Your figures live in your own secure account. No documents, Social Security numbers or bank details are stored.
