Taxpayers generally pay at least 90 percent of their taxes throughout the year through withholding, estimated tax payments or a combination of the two. If they don’t, they may owe an estimated tax penalty.
For tax-year 2018, the remaining estimated tax payment due dates are Sept. 17, 2018 and Jan. 15, 2019.
Estimated tax payments are the methods used to pay taxes on income that is not subject to withholding.
This income includes earnings from self-employment, interest, dividends, rents, and alimony. Taxpayers who do not choose to have taxes withheld from other taxable income should also make estimated tax payments.

The Securities and Exchange Commission charged Greenview Investment Partners L.P and its founder, Michael E. Cone, yesterday with defrauding investors by promising 24% annual returns from cannabis related investments. Cone has also been criminally charged and has had approximately $1.4 million worth of cash and assets seized. 
According to the SEC complaint, Cone concealed his prior criminal convictions by using an alias and lied about having a former agent from the U.S Drug Enforcement Administration on staff, and falsely claimed to have a long record of profitably investing millions into cannabis-related businesses.
Cone allegedly spent investors money on designer clothes and luxury cars.
Cone settled the SEC’s charges by agreeing to an officer-and-director bar and a permanent injunction.

Evidence of the defendants conduct before, during, and after a shooting was relevant to show defendant’s mental state during the shooting.
