The New York side of each payment
New York taxes the same 1099 profit on 9 graduated brackets topping out at 10.9%, so a second payment goes to the state each quarter, about $515 on the $50,000 example, against $2,288 of New York income tax for the year.
The 2026 dataset carries the federal 1040-ES dates but not state-specific due dates, so confirm New York's schedule and voucher with its tax agency, several states do not match the federal calendar exactly.
