GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILING

DQ-1 Quarterly Estimated Earned Income Tax

Berkheimer is the administrator of the Earned Income Tax, which is levied by your local Township, Borough, City and/or

School District. Return each completed form on or before the quarterly due dates, using the enclosed address labels. Please

correct any error in name, address, social security number, or resident municipality (add if not shown). There will be a

$20.00 fee for returned checks.

WHO MUST FILE: All self-employed taxpayers who have gross earnings for services rendered are required to pay their

tax quarterly. Also, taxpayers who receive regular wages from an employer, but DO NOT have their Earned Income Tax

withheld OR do not have the full amount withheld, must pay their tax quarterly.

NOTE: Delinquent Cost may be assessed for failure to file a required Quarterly Estimated Earned Income Tax form.

HOW TO COMPUTE TAX: The tax can be computed either by estimating your earnings for the entire year and paying

one quarter of the estimated tax, or by paying the tax on your actual earnings each quarter. If your employer withholds part

of the tax, deduct that amount from your quarterly payment.

PAYMENT AND RECEIPT: Checks should be made payable to: HAB-EIT. Send your tax payments to: Berkheimer Tax

Administrator, PO Box 902, Bangor, PA 18013. Your canceled check is sufficient proof of payment.

date, unless otherwise instructed.
