quarterly-tax-rhythm
Build the tax habit self-employment requires — the setaside percentage from day one, the quarterly calendar, the records that make filing boring, and the no-withholding mindset shift nobody explains. Use when asked how do taxes work for my side income, how much should I set aside, what are estimated quarterly payments, or set up my freelance tax system. Produces the setaside rule with its honest range, the quarterly rhythm calendar (jurisdiction-flagged), the five-minute-a-week records system, and the deduction-tracking habit — framing routed to a local professional for the numbers.

# Quarterly Tax Rhythm Skill Employment hides taxes inside withholding; self-employment hands you the gross and a delayed bill — and the first-year story is always the same: the money felt like income, got spent like income, and April arrived like a mugging. The fix isn't tax expertise; it's a *rhythm*: a fixed percentage siphoned to a separate account the day money lands, dated quarterly check-ins (most jurisdictions with estimated-payment systems run roughly quarterly — dates and rules are local, flagged throughout), and a records habit small enough to actually survive. This skill installs the rhythm and routes every actual number to a local professional, because rates and rules are jurisdiction-specific and this skill's job is that the money *exists* when the professional names the number. ## What This Skill Produces - **The setaside rule** — the percentage band with its logic, the transfer-on-receipt habit, and the separate account it lands in - **The quarterly calendar** — the rhythm's four-plus-one dates (typed generically, verify-locally), each with its 30-minute agenda - **The records system** — the five-minute weekly habit that makes filing an export instead of an archaeol
