•	 While a resident of Delaware, you had income from any sources, or
•	 As a non-resident of Delaware, you had income from a Delaware

*Whether you are stationed in Delaware or not.

Your state of legal residence is the same as it was when you entered
the Armed Forces unless you voluntarily changed it while in the Armed
Forces. For example, if you were a legal resident of Delaware when you
entered the Armed Forces, you remain a legal resident of Delaware for
Delaware state income tax purposes unless you voluntarily abandoned
your Delaware residency and established a new legal domicile in another
state.
If you change your legal residence, you are a part-year resident of both
states in the year you change. A change in legal residence is documented
by filing DD Form 2058 and DD Form 2058-1 with your military personnel
office.
The following examples illustrate this:
1.	 Airman John Green, who is a legal resident of Delaware (domiciled
in Delaware), was ordered to duty in, and moved his family to, New
Jersey. The family has no income other than Green’s military pay.
Airman Green will file a federal and Delaware Resident tax return only.
A New Jersey state tax return is not required.
2.	 Sergeant Paul Smith, whose domicile is Ohio, to which he is liable for
income taxes, has been on active duty in Delaware for 12 months.
Sergeant Smith is single and has non-military income from Delaware.
Sergeant Smith will file as a non-resident of Delaware (using Form
PIT-NON), reporting all his income in Column A. He will also deduct
his military compensation from his Delaware Non-Resident Return as
a federal adjustment to gross income (Column A, Line 16). Sergeant
Smith will report his non-military income from Delaware in Column B.
He should contact Ohio for his filing requirements for Ohio.

Military Spouses

When to Make Your Estimated Tax Payment

All income of a non-military spouse is taxed in the state of their legal
residence.

For estimated tax purposes, the year is divided into four payment periods.
Each period has a specific payment due date:

1.	 Airman Dan Brown and his spouse are legal residents of Delaware
(domiciled in Delaware). Airman Brown was ordered to duty in, and
moved with his spouse to, New Jersey. Besides Airman Brown’s military
pay, his spouse has New Jersey source wages. Airman Brown and
his spouse will file both a federal and Delaware Resident tax return
reporting both military and nonmilitary income. A New Jersey state tax
return is not required.
2.	 Sergeant Michael Jones, whose domicile is not Delaware, has been on
active duty in Delaware for 12 months. Sergeant Jones is married, and
his spouse has non-military income from Delaware. If Sergeant Jones’
spouse maintains a legal residence in a state other than Delaware,
a Delaware state tax return will not be required. Sergeant Jones and
his spouse should contact their state of legal residence for their filing
requirements.
A military spouse claiming an exemption from Delaware’s income Tax
withholding requirements must complete an Annual Withholding Tax
Exemption Certification Form, Form W-4DE, and provide it to their
employer. This form is also available on our website at revenue.delaware.
gov . A military spouse claiming an exemption must meet the conditions
set forth under the Service Members Civil Relief Act, as amended by the
Military Spouses Residency Relief Act.

Requirement to File Estimated Taxes
Every person who is either a resident of Delaware or has income from
Delaware sources may be required to file quarterly Declarations of
Estimated Tax (Form PIT-EST) with the Delaware Division of Revenue, if
the Delaware tax liability less payments and credits can reasonably
be expected to exceed $800. (See worksheet below).
You may be required to make estimated payments, if you receive a lump
sum distribution or a large bonus at the end of the year.
Also, you may be required to make estimated payments if while you are a
Delaware resident:
•	 Your employer does not withhold Delaware tax; or
•	 You work in another state whose tax withholding rate is lower than
that of Delaware.
If you did not file estimated taxes for 2023 and need estimated tax
coupons, you may find them on our website at revenue.delaware.gov,
call the forms voice mailbox at (302) 577-8588 to order them, or call toll
free 1-800-292-7826 (Delaware only).
Estimated tax payments may be made online at revenue.delaware.gov
by direct debit from your checking or savings account or by credit card.
If you are paying by direct debit, you may specify a later payment date, up
to the due date. Payments up to $10,000 can be made by credit card. If you
want to pay by check, you must use the paper Form PIT-EST available on
our tax portal at tax.delaware.gov . To estimate your tax liability prior
to receiving the booklet, complete a 2023 return using estimated income
and deduction amounts for 2024.

Estimated Tax Penalty
You may owe this penalty if the amount you owe (Line 54) is more than
10% of the tax shown on your return (Line 47, Balance).

Exceptions to the Penalty
You will not owe the penalty if your 2023 tax return was for a period of 12
full months AND EITHER of the following applies:
1.	 You had no tax liability for 2022, or
2.	 The total of Line 46 (Total Non-Refundable Credits) and Line 53 (Total
Refundable Credits) on your 2023 return equals at least 100% of the
tax liability shown on your 2022 return and estimated tax payments
for 2023 were made on time. Use 110% of your 2022 tax liability if
your 2022 Delaware adjusted gross income exceeded $150,000, or if
you are filing status 3 and your 2022 Delaware adjusted gross income
exceeded $75,000.
3.	 For Special Rules regarding Farmers and Fishermen and for waivers of
the penalty please see the separate Instructions for Form PIT-EST and/
or Form PIT-UND.

Penalties and Interest
1.	 Interest – Underpayment or late payment
The Delaware Code provides that interest on any underpayment or
late payment of income taxes due shall accrue at the rate of ½% per
month, from the date prescribed for payments to the date paid.
2.	 Penalty – Late-filing of balance due return
The law imposes substantial penalties for failure to file a timely
return. Late-filed returns with a balance due are subject to a penalty
of 5% per month of the balance due.
3.	 Penalty – Negligence/fraud/substantial understatement
The law also provides severe penalties for filing a false or fraudulent
return, or for a false certification. The mere fact that the figures you
report on your Delaware return are taken from your Federal return
will not relieve you from the imposition of penalties for negligence or
for filing a false or fraudulent return.
4.	 Penalty – Failure to pay
The law provides a penalty of 1% per month (not to exceed 25%) of
the net tax liabilities for failure to pay the tax liability due on a timely
filed or late-filed return. This penalty is in addition to the interest
charged for late payment.
5.	 Penalty – Failure to File/Pay Estimated Taxes
The law provides a penalty of 1½% per month of the computed tax
payment for failure to file/pay estimated taxes due. This penalty is in
addition to those penalties and interest listed above. The penalty is
also assessed if an estimated payment is filed late.

Federal Privacy Act Information
Taxpayer IDs must be included on your income tax return. The mandatory
disclosure of your Taxpayer ID is authorized by Section 306, Title 30 of
the Delaware Code. Such numbers are used primarily to administer and
enforce all tax laws, both civil and criminal, for which the Division of
Revenue has statutory responsibility.

Rounding Off Dollars
Dollar amounts on your return must be rounded off to the nearest whole
dollar. This means that amounts from 50 to 99 cents are increased to the
next dollar. For example, $1.50 becomes $2.00 and $1.49 becomes $1.00.

Detailed Instructions

Alimony received is taxable to Delaware only for the period in which you
were Delaware resident. Enter this amount in Column B.

Column A – Federal
This column should reflect the entries you have made on the appropriate
lines of your federal return as if you were a full-year resident of Delaware.
List all items of income, adjustment, and modification regardless of the
state from which the items were derived. If Filing Status 3, use only your
income.
Column A, Line 1 through Line 17, must match each line of Federal Form
1040 and 1040 schedules for all filing statuses except Filing Status 3.
Exception: Non-resident U.S. military personnel who exclude military
compensation in Column A, Line 16.

Column B – Delaware Source Income and/or Loss
List all amounts of income, gain, loss, or adjustment from Delaware
sources. Part-year residents must also include all income from any
source during the time of Delaware residency. Part-year residents must
first allocate their income by date. Ex: a taxpayer lived in Delaware from
8/1/2023 through 12/31/2023. If he sold stock on 4/1/2023, when he did
not live in Delaware, then the gain/loss would not be reported in Column
B. If he sold stock on 9/1/2023, while he lived in Delaware, then he must
report that gain/loss in Column B. If income was earned evenly throughout
the year, then allocate the income based on the percentage of time of
residency in Delaware. Example: Interest income for the year was $120.
If the taxpayer lived in Delaware from 8/1/2023 to 12/31/2023 then 5/12
($120 x 5/12 = $50) of the income would be allocated to Column B.

Alimony Payments – Delaware Source Share of Federal Adjustments
The portion of federal adjustment for payment of alimony is limited by the
proration of Total Delaware Source Income to Total Federal Income. To
determine the proration decimal of your Delaware source income to your
federal income, divide the amount from Line 15, Column B by the amount
from Line 15, Column A. Carry out the computation to four decimal places,

U.S. Obligations

All interest received on obligations of the United States and included
on your federal tax return is exempt from Delaware tax and should be
entered on Line 22. Failure to identify the payer on Federal Schedule B
will result in the disallowance of the deduction. All interest received on
obligations for which the United States is NOT the primary obligor, or
which are NOT guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States
is not exempt from tax and may not be entered on Line 22 (Examples are

Pension Exclusion

Amounts received as pensions from employers (including pension of a
deceased taxpayer) may qualify for an exclusion from Delaware taxable
income, subject to the limitations described below.
Eligible Retirement Income Delaware tax law authorizes an exclusion
of up to $12,500 from pension and eligible retirement income for each
individual age 60 or older.
An early distribution from an IRA or pension fund due to emergency
reasons or due to separation from employment does not qualify for
the pension exclusion. If the Distribution Code(s) listed in Box 7 of
your 1099-R(s) is a 1 (one), then that amount DOES NOT qualify for
the pension exclusion. Also, if you were assessed an early withdrawal
penalty on Line 8 of the Federal 1040, Schedule 2, then that amount
DOES NOT qualify for the pension exclusion.

Interest you received from any obligations of States other than Delaware
or their political subdivisions, while you were a resident of Delaware is
taxable and must be added on Line 18. Examples of interest that is taxable:

Line 19

International Bank of Reconstruction and Development

Subtract Line 16 from Line 15

NOTE: The ratio used in reporting income on Lines 1 through 14 is used
in determining the ratio of modifications for Lines 18 through 26. For
example, a full-year non- resident would enter interest income on Line
2, Column A as shown on the federal return, but no interest income
would be included as Delaware source income (Column B). If a portion
of this interest income is from US Obligations, that portion would be
entered on Line 22, Column A only.

Line 18

Federal Intermediate Credit Banks

NOTE: Each taxpayer may receive ONLY ONE exclusion,
even if he or she is receiving more than one pension or
other retirement distribution. A husband and wife who each
receive pensions are entitled to one exclusion each.
IF YOU WERE UNDER 60 on December 31, 2023, and retired from the
United States military and received pension income during the year,
your exclusion equals $12,500 or the amount of your pension, whichever
is less. Please check the box indicating your pension is from the United
States military.
IF YOU WERE UNDER 60 on December 31, 2023, and you receive nonmilitary pension, your exclusion equals $2,000 or the amount of your
pension, whichever is less.

Oil Percentage Depletion
The law provides for the disallowance of any percentage depletion
deduction allowable under federal law, to the extent it is in excess of cost
depletion. Add the excess to the amount of fiduciary adjustments and
enter the total on Line 19.

Disability pension income paid by your employer is reported as wages
on the federal return until you reach the minimum retirement age.
Minimum retirement age is generally the age at which you can first
receive a pension or annuity if you are not disabled. Therefore, disability
pension income does not qualify for the pension exclusion.
Pension Exclusion Example: The primary taxpayer received $10,000
in pension income. The secondary taxpayer received no pension income.
The taxpayers had joint bank accounts and mutual fund accounts. They
earned $5,000 in interest from the bank, $1,000 in dividends and $3,000
in capital gains. Income from the joint accounts would be split equally
between the two taxpayers. Both taxpayers are over 60 years old. The
primary taxpayer’s exclusion is $12,500 (10,000 + 2,500 + 500 + 1,500 =
$14,500). The maximum exclusion for the primary taxpayer is $12,500. The
secondary taxpayer cannot include in the pension exclusion calculation the
amount by which the primary taxpayer exceeded the $12,500 maximum
exclusion. The pension exclusion for the secondary taxpayer is $4,500
(2,500 + 500+ 1,500). If filing a joint return, the combined exclusion for the
primary and secondary taxpayer is $17,000.
If you are allowed a pension exclusion for Delaware purposes, please
enter the full amount in the Federal column. Enter in the Delaware
column the ratio of pension and eligible retirement income reported
in Column B, divided by the pension and eligible retirement income
reported in Column A. Multiply this ratio by the pension exclusion
amount to determine the allowable exclusion. Enter this amount on
Line 23, Column B.

Delaware Net Operating Loss Carryovers
Taxpayers who were prevented in previous years from carrying back

a.	 The Delaware tax liability.
b.	 The amount computed by multiplying the Delaware tax by a
fraction, the numerator of which is your adjusted gross income
derived from sources in the other state, and the denominator of
which is your Delaware Adjusted Gross Income (Line 37).
c.	 The tax liability due and paid, after the application of all credits
(example: forgiveness tax credit, earned income credit, poverty
level credit), to the other states (not including amounts paid to local
jurisdictions).

If Line 41 (taxable income) is less than $60,000, use the tax table to
compute your tax. If Line 41 is $60,000 or greater, use the tax rate schedule
at the end of the tax table to compute your tax. Enter the amount of tax in
the box provided on Line 42 and multiply this amount by your proration
decimal. Enter the result on Line 42. This is your prorated tax liability.

Personal Credits

Enter the total number of dependents listed on your federal return and
multiply by $110. If you were not required to file a federal return, enter
$110 for each spouse reporting income on this form plus $110 for each
person who could have been listed as a dependent had you been required
to file a federal return. You are still eligible for this credit even though you
do not recognize personal exemptions on your federal return.

The amount computed by multiplying the tax liability due and paid to the
other states by a fraction, the numerator of which is the income from the
other state while a Delaware resident, and the denominator of which is
the total income from the other state. The amount due and paid is not the
amount on your W-2.
If the income reported on your other state return is not included in
Delaware source income, then the other state tax credit cannot be
taken in Delaware for that income.
NOTE: Taxes paid to the political subdivision of a state
cannot be claimed as credit. The District of Columbia,
however, is classified as a “State” for the purposes of this
credit and, therefore, can be claimed as credit on Line 44.
If you claim the tax credit, you must attach to your return a signed
copy of the income tax return filed with the other state(s). In
addition, your Delaware return information will be shared with the
other state(s) that you claimed the credit for.

taxes and an estimated penalty is due OR if you completed Part 3, check
the “Form PIT-UND Attached” box at the top of your return and submit
Form PIT-UND with your return. If you check the box and do not include
Form PIT-UND, you will delay processing of your return. An attached
Form PIT-UND is not processed automatically unless this box is checked.

Section F - Direct Deposit Information
Direct Deposit or Refund
Complete Section F if you want us to directly deposit the amount shown
on Line 60, Form PIT-NON into your bank account. Refunds may not be
direct deposited to a bank account outside the U.S.
Why Use Direct Deposit?
•	 You get your refund fast – even faster if you file online.
•	 Payment is more secure – there is no check to get lost.
•	 More convenient. No trip to the bank to deposit your check.
Check with your financial institution to make sure your deposit will be
accepted and to get the correct routing and account numbers.

Routing Number
The routing number must be nine digits. The first two digits must be 01
through 12 or 21 through 32. Otherwise, the direct deposit will be rejected,
and a check will be issued instead. On the sample check, the routing
number is 031100000.
Your check may state that it is payable through a bank different from the
financial institution at which you have your checking account. If so, do
not use the routing number on that check. Instead, contact your financial
institution for the correct routing number to enter on this line.

Bank Account Number
The account number can be up to 17 characters (both numbers and
letters). Include hyphens but omit spaces and special symbols. Enter
the number from left to right and leave any unused boxes blank. On the
sample check, the account number is 12340818. Be sure not to include the
check number.
In order to comply with new federal banking rules, you must declare
whether your refund will go to a bank account outside the United States. If
the answer is yes, do not enter your account information. We will instead
mail your refund by check.
