Estimated Payment Instructions

All accounts are expected to remit estimated prepayments toward the final liability a corporation estimates is due for the taxable year.

Estimated payments for mutual thrift institutions tax are due on the 15th day of the third, sixth, ninth and twelfth month following the

close of the tax year. Tax remaining due at the close of the taxable year must be paid by the 15th day of the fourth month following the

close of the tax year.

Should a corporation realize estimated tax is underpaid, additional payments should be submitted to minimize underpayment penalty.

Underpayment is measured against 90 percent of the tax reported due for the taxable year. However, if the final total tax increases the

self-reported tax by 10 percent or more, the underpayment will be measured against 90 percent of the final total tax. The period of

underpayment is measured from the due date of the installment to the date the underpayment is paid or the date the safe harbor is sat-

isfied. A corporation may avoid interest charges by timely paying estimated tax equal to the liability in the second-prior taxable year

(safe harbor). This amount must be adjusted to reflect the tax rate and law for the estimated tax year and must reflect the total liabil-

ity if it exceeds the self-reported liability by 10 percent or more. Where the second-prior year is a short period, the safe harbor is annu-

alized. Second year corporations may use the immediate prior year (annualized if necessary) as the base year for the safe harbor. Mail

the estimated payment coupon (REV-423) separately from all other forms.

If you have questions regarding estimated payments, call the Accounting Division at 717-705-6225 (Option 5, then Option 1 or 3).

Extension Request Due Date

To request a due date extension of up to six months to file the annual report, you must file an extension request (REV-426) by the original

report due date. However, an extension of time to file does not extend the deadline for payment of tax and an extension request must be

accompanied by payment of taxes owed for the taxable year for which the extension is requested. Mail the extension coupon separately

from all other forms. A taxpayer using an electronic method to make a payment with an extension request should not submit the extension

coupon. Do not use the extension coupon to remit other unpaid liabilities or commonwealth obligations within the account.
