DR 0104EP (11/17/22) COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE Denver CO 80261-0008 Tax.Colorado.gov *DO=NOT=SEND* Individual Estimated Income Tax Instructions Estimated tax is the method used to pay tax on income that is not subject to withholding. Wages typically have withholding, but earnings from self-employment, interest, dividends, rents, etc. would be subject to estimated tax. You might also pay estimated tax if your withholdings are not enough to be excluded from the General Rule below. If you file federal Form 1040-ES with the federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS), typically you would pay estimated tax to the Colorado Department of Revenue. See the individual income tax guidance publications available at Tax.Colorado.gov for more information. Calculating the Payment General Rule Failure to timely remit estimated tax as necessary will result in an Estimated Tax Penalty. By law, exceptions will be given to farmers or fishermen who file and remit full payment by March 1. Otherwise, penalty will be calculated for each missed, late, or underpaid payment. For calculation specifics, or to remit this penalty before being billed, see form DR 0204, Underpayment of Individual Estimated Tax. In most cases, you must pay estimated tax if you expect to owe more than $1,000 in net tax for 2023, after subtracting any withholding or credits you might have. Required Payments The required annual amount to be paid is the smaller of: • 70% of the actual net Colorado tax liability, or • 100% of the preceding year’s net Colorado tax liability. This rule only applies if the preceding year was a 12-month tax year, the individual filed a Colorado return, and the federal adjusted gross income on that return was $150,000 or less (or, if married filing separately, $75,000 or less), or • 110% of the preceding year’s net Colorado tax liability. This amount applies only if the preceding year was a 12-month year, and the individual filed a Colorado return, or • If at least 2/3 of your income is from farming or fishing, 50% of the actual net Colorado tax liability. Annualized Installment Method If you use an annualized method to file estimated payments for your federal income tax, you may file using this method for Colorado estimated payments. Specific instructions for the annualized installment method are available in publication Individual Income Tax Guide. Carryforward of Estimated Overpayment Any overpayment designated for carryforward on your Colorado income tax return from the previous year will be applied to the first estimated tax payment due for this tax period. Estimated tax payments can be made on a quarterly basis. Use the worksheet provided on the following page to calculate the amount of estimated tax owed. Reference the previous year Colorado income tax return and instructions for help determining taxable income. Those who file joint returns must make the payment under the taxpayer name and Social Security or ID number that will be listed first on the income tax return. Remit payments on or before the due dates listed in the table following calculation worksheet on the next page. Penalties Refunds Estimated tax payments can only be claimed as prepayment credit on the 2023 Colorado income tax return. Therefore, estimated payments cannot be refunded in any manner until such time that the Colorado income tax return is filed. Go Green with Revenue Online Colorado.gov/RevenueOnline allows taxpayers to file taxes, remit payments and monitor their tax accounts. The DR 0104EP is not required if electronic payment is remitted through this site. Please be advised that a nominal processing fee may apply to electronic payments. Pay by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) EFT payments can be made safely, for free, and can be scheduled up to 12 months ahead of time to avoid forgetting to make a quarterly payment. This requires pre-registration before payments can be made. Visit Tax.Colorado.gov/electronic-funds-transfer for registration information.

Form 104EP is a Colorado Individual Income Tax form. While most taxpayers have income taxes automatically withheld every pay period by their employer, taxpayers who earn money that is not subject to withholding (such as self employed income, investment returns, etc) are often required to make estimated tax payments on a quarterly basis. Failure to make correct estimated payments can result in interest or penalties.
About the Individual Income Tax
The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.
Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
