My side job of coaching is a 1099-MISC and pays $24,000/year. I anticipate moving forward I will have to pay about $6,000 annually in taxes. As opposed to just saving that $500 in my checking, what is a good, safe place I could store it? Even just 1% could add up over time.

Goldman Sachs savings account. FDIC insured and yields 1.05% with no minimum.

I'm not a CPA, but I believe that technically you are supposed to pay quarterly estimated taxes to a tune of about 90% of what you will owe the first year and then something close to that number after that.

I don't know what the penalty or how that works, but the IRS wants their money as you go they don't want you just to wait and pay $6000 in April of the following year.

ETA: You could also withhold more from your W-2 position to make up that $6000.

You need to pay estimated taxes or you will get a penalty. Pretty simple.
