If the taxes you owe are a large amount in your second year with a profit then you could face penalties for not paying "estimated" tax which is usually done on a quarterly basis. If your yearly tax is minimal then the IRS will not require that.
If you are writing checks for more than a couple of thousand at the end of the year then it's best to pay estimated tax to avoid any legal or financial
problems.
