In most cases that would not be a good idea. You are going to have to pay in taxes no matter what. It is generally better to have them take it as you earn it because the majority of the population would have spent the money instead of putting it back for Uncle Sam. Ask any 1099 individual how tough it is to come up with a check for the federal government every quarter.

Additionally: it is against the law to not pay your taxes on an estimated 9by either quarterly 1099-ES or withholding) basis. The amount is also well prescribed with several different methods and limits.

Like most things legally prescribed, not doing so will incur an automatic additional penalty and interest on any underpayment, this may be substantial. Of course, if after determining the amount of tax required to be paid, it turns out (because of your earning level, deductions, etc) you don't need to have any (more) paid in, then don't.

Would it be a good idea to have no money withheld for taxes and pay them?

no If you underpay your estimated taxes (whether it is done by payroll withholding or by the requirement to file the quarterly if you are self employed), you will have to pay a (frequently substantial, especially if you under pay by a large percent) penalty and interest on the underpayment. Automatically assessed.


How do you file taxes when taxes were not with held?

You file taxes just as you normally would. The only problem is that you may end up having to pay the IRS a large tax bill after you file. When you're entering the information from your W-2 or 1099, you will just leave blank the sections where it asks you for the amount of tax that was withheld from your wages, as those boxes will be blank on the forms you receive from your employer. Unless you are exempt from withholding, it's a good idea to have money withheld from your paychecks. Your withholding for the year should more or less equal your tax liability. You can adjust your withholding by adjusting the number of allowances you claim.
