What should I do if my income changes during the year after I've started making Form 1040-ES payments?

Recalculate and adjust the remaining instalments. The estimate is not locked in once you have made the first payment.

If income rose sharply, the annualised income instalment method lets you match payments to when the income actually arrived rather than spreading it evenly. More on Form 1040.
