Hesitate, and you will be lost.
I had a question about estimated tax payments. I trade stocks infrequently (not a daytrader) and can have both gains and losses per month. I've been paying estimated taxes on gains every estimated payment period. But if I have a loss and a gain, do I sum the two together before determining if estimated tax is due?

For example, if this month I made $1,000 on a stock sale, but then lost $1,000 on another stock sale, would I need to pay estimated tax on the $1,000 gain come April 15th, or do I net the two together for a total gain of zero, so no estimated tax is due?
