Prepare in advance for 2023 tax filing

Hello, I need to know the (estimated) amount that I need to save in order to pay the penalties when I file my 2023 taxes. Last week I was laid off and unfortunately my pension was moved into a 403b so the withdrawal incurs the penalties and I need to understand the total amount and be prepared to pay the 10% and early withdrawal penalties when they are due. If there is time: do I need to liquidate my HSA funds after being laid off since I no longer have a HDHP? Thank you for your time. ~Robyn

Question related to use tax

Hello, I moved from Mexico to the United States around 8 years ago having a visa that let me study but not work as I was a dependant, and during that time I brought personal property from Mexico to the United States. I became a permanent resident around 4 years after. As I learn more about taxes, I wonder if I was required to pay use tax on that personal property that I brought from Mexico to North Carolina as I paid sales tax on that property on Mexico when I bought it there, and now having moved from North Carolina to Texas, if I need to pay use tax on my personal property as I paid taxes for some of them on North Carolina, plus the stuff that I bought on Mexico some long time ago.

Am I self enjoyed?

Hi, this is a 2 part question. I babysit a friend's child 2 days a week (at my house, providing food, purchasing my own toys, etc for him), making $50/ day. (so roughly $400/month and will be $5000/year. She pays me cash, sometimes Venmo. I assumed I'm considered self-employed and will report this income on my 2023; married filing joint income tax form. Additionally, starting next week, I'm helping a family 2-3 days/ week with 30 min childcare/ transportation and 2 ish hours of housework. $50/day. They be said their cpa said to issue a 1099. It may only be for the summer (but possibly continuing after), so roughly $1800 for the summer. I'm just wanting to make sure I'm doing taxes correctly. Do I need to file quarterly? At this point the TOTAL income I'm bringing in will be around $7,800 for the year. My husband makes about $75, 000 (regular W2 employee). Thank you!
