Transitioning From FT Employment (W2) to Independent Contractor

Hello:

 

I'm currently a full-time, W2, employee who will be transitioning into an independent contractor status when my school starts in September. I have several questions to that end:

 

1.  My understanding is that as an independent contractor, I would need to pay taxes quarterly. Since I'm transitioning to being a contractor in September, does that mean I need to pay taxes twice before the end of the year?

2.  Does TurboTax offer services for independent contractors filing taxes? I can't seem to access such a page from my standard TurboTax dashboard. 

 

Thank you.

And what about for state taxes? If it helps, I will have worked full-time in DC from Jan - August of this year, and am working from CA (remotely).
