Declaration of Estimated Income Tax if the tax due from the partnership is expected to exceed one

hundred dollars ($100.00). If the partnership elects to pay the tax on behalf of the partners, a partner

LATE PAYMENT OR UNDERPAYMENT OF ESTIMATED INCOME TAX

If you fail to make the required quarterly estimated tax payments, pay late or underpay, interest

and penalty may be charged. The interest rate is 1 percent above the prime rate. The interest rate is

adjusted on January 1 and July 1 each year. The penalty rate is one percent per month.

INTEREST AND PENALTY

If the total amount of tax withheld, tax credits and estimated tax paid is less than seventy percent (70%)

of the tax due for the current or previous year, interest and penalty will be charged. The filing of a

declaration of estimated tax does not excuse the taxpayer from filing an annual income tax return even

though there is no change in the declared tax liability.
