See the Federal Form 1040 instructions for those authorized to sign. If an individual is deceased, his final return shall be filed by his executor, administrator, or other person responsible for the property of the decedent.

When to File This dollar amount represents your individual Adjusted Gross Income, NOT a total combined with anyone else. **Assumes only one spouse meets age or blindness criteria. 2. If you were a Part-Year Resident, you must file a Delaware tax return: a. If you had income from any source while a resident of Delaware, or b. If you had income from a Delaware source while you were a nonresident of Delaware. Part-year residents may elect to file either a resident or non- resident return. You may wish to prepare both. File only the return which is more advantageous for you. Part-Year Residents electing to file a resident return – this option may be advantageous if, during the period of non-residency, you had no income from sources in other states and/or your only income was from Delaware. Part-Year Residents electing to file a non-resident return – This option may be advantageous if, during the period of non-residency, you had any income from other states or sources outside of Delaware. Please refer to the instructions for Form PIT-NON to review this option. Note: Volunteer Firefighter, Child Care and Earned Income Tax Credits cannot be taken on the non-resident return (Form PIT-NON). 3. If you are a Non-Resident who had gross income in 2023 from sources in Delaware, you must file a Delaware Tax return. What Form to File PIT-RES NOTE*: Foreign Travelers – If you were out of the United States for at least 495 days in the last 18 consecutive months and (at the same time) you did not maintain a permanent place of abode in this State at which you, your spouse, your children, or your parents were present for more than 45 days, you are not considered a resident of this State. PIT-NON Full-year residents Individual income tax returns are due on or before April 30, 2024 for all taxpayers filing on a calendar year basis. All others must file by the last day of the fourth month following the close of their taxable year. Extension of Time to File a Return CAUTION: THERE IS NO EXTENSION OF TIME FOR PAYMENT OF TAX An extension of time to file your tax return is granted when the Application for Automatic Extension (Form PIT-EXT) is filed prior to the due date of your return. Interest accrues on any unpaid tax at a rate of ½% per month, or fraction of a month, from the return’s original due date until paid. To extend your due date for submitting your completed income tax return (from April 30, 2024 to October 15, 2024 submit the following to the Division of Revenue no later than April 30, 2024. 1. The completed copy of Form PIT-EXT; and 2. Your payment of any balance of tax liability estimated to be due for tax year 2023. The application for an automatic extension, Form PIT-EXT, may be filed on-line on our portal at tax.delaware.gov . If you owe tax with your extension for 2023 and file on-line, you may use a direct debit from your checking or savings account or pay by credit card. If you are paying by direct debit, you may specify a later payment date, up to the due date. Payments by direct debit must not come from an account outside the U.S. and may be made in any amount without dollar limitation. Payments up to $10,000 can be made by credit card. If you choose not to file online, a blank copy of Form PIT-EXT is available from the Division of Revenue or from our website. Blanket requests for extensions will not be granted. YOU MUST submit a separate extension request for each return. Part-year residents Non-residents Steps for Preparing Your Return Who is a Resident? Step 1 A resident is an individual who either: • Is domiciled in this State for any part of the taxable year; or • Maintains a place of abode in this State and spends more than 183 days of the taxable year in this State. A domicile is the place an individual intends to be his permanent home; a place to which he intends to return whenever he may be absent. An individual can have only one domicile. A domicile, once established, continues until the individual moves to a new location and exhibits a bona fide intention of making it his or her permanent home. Full-Time Students with a legal residence in another state remain legal residents of that state unless they exhibit intentions to make Delaware their permanent residence. Complete your federal income tax return and any other state return(s). They will be used in preparing your Delaware return. Step 2 Fill in your name, address and filing status. Step 3 Using the line-by-line instructions, begin by completing all lines relevant to your return on the front of the form and complete each section in order. Step 4 When you are finished, attach the appropriate documents to your Delaware return. See “What Documents to Attach” on page 3. Page 2 Step 5 Sign, date, enter your phone number, and send Form PIT-RES along with all required attachments to the applicable address listed below. If the return is prepared by a paid preparer, the paid preparer must also sign the return. Notes: • The return is not complete unless it is signed and dated. • If filing a joint return or a married combined separate return, both spouses must sign the return. • In order to aid in timely processing of your return, please include a telephone number where you can be reached during normal working hours. • Each preparer is responsible for including all relevant items about which he/she has information. • Separate filers MUST submit their returns in separate envelopes.

What Documents to Attach If you were 65 years of age or older on 12/31, you are eligible for an additional standard deduction of $2,500, if you did not itemize.

Box 508, Wilmington, DE 19899-508 If Refund Due (from Line 46): State of Delaware, Division of Revenue, P.O. Box 8710, Wilmington, DE 19899-8710 Zero Due returns or returns without payment: State of Delaware, Division of Revenue, P.O. Box 8711, Wilmington, DE 19899-8711 If you were 60 years of age or older on 12/31, please review the following items before filing your return: Line 26b, Page 8 You may be eligible for the pension exclusion. Line 6, Page 6 Social Security and Railroad retirement benefits are excluded from Delaware taxable income. Line 8a, Page 7 You may be eligible for an exclusion if your earned income was less than $2,500. Line 11, Page 7 If you change your legal residence, in the year you change, you are a partyear resident of both states. 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 PITNON) reporting all his income in Column A. He will deduct his military compensation from his Delaware Non-Resident Return as a federal adjustment to gross income. (Column A, Line 16.) Sergeant Smith should contact Ohio for his filing requirements for Ohio. Military Spouses All income of a non-military spouse is taxed in the state of their legal residence. The following examples illustrate this: Persons 60 or Over Checklist You are entitled to an additional personal credit of $110. 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. 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. Page 3 Requirement to File Estimated Taxes Exceptions to the Penalty 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 to the Delaware Division of Revenue if the Delaware tax liability less payments and credits can reasonably be expected to exceed $800 (See worksheet on page 4). You will not owe the penalty if your 2023 tax return was for a period of 12 full months AND ONE of the following applies: You may be required to make estimated tax payments if you receive unemployment compensation, a lump sum distribution, or a large bonus at the end of the year. You may also be required to make estimated tax payments if you are a Delaware resident and: • Your employer does not withhold Delaware tax or • You work in another state whose tax withholding rate is lower than Delaware’s. The estimated tax instructions contain the worksheet for computing your estimated tax liability and will be available after January 15, 2024 If you need estimated tax coupons, you may find them on our website at revenue.delaware.gov/personal-income-tax-forms/ , leave a message on the forms voice mailbox at (302) 577-8588 to request them, or call toll free 1-800-292-7826 (Delaware only). Estimated tax payments may be made on-line at tax.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 through direct debit must be from a U.S. account and can be of any amount without a dollar limit. 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 website at revenue.delaware.gov.

Each period has a specific payment due date as indicated below: Who Must File Estimated Taxes for 2024?

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. Amended Returns If any changes made to your federal return affect your state income tax liability, you are required to report the change to the Delaware Division of Revenue within ninety (90) days after the final determination of such a change and indicate your agreement with the determination or the grounds of your disagreement. Use Form PIT-RES to change an income tax return you have filed and attach a copy of any federal adjustments. 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. Address Change For more information concerning estimated taxes or to access the payment voucher and worksheet, visit tax.delaware.gov, or call (302) 577-8200. Estimated Tax Penalty If you move after you file your return, you should notify the Division of Revenue of your address change in writing. Please be sure to include your and your spouse’s Taxpayer ID(s) in any correspondence with the Division of Revenue. You may owe this penalty if the amount you owe (Line 40, Balance Due) is more than 10% of the tax shown on your return (Line 32, Balance). Page 4 Page 1 of Form PIT-RES Section A - Additions Line 1 Name, Address and Taxpayer ID Print your name(s), address, and taxpayer ID(s) in the space provided. If you are married, give names and taxpayer ids for both you and your spouse whether you file joint or separate returns.

The deceased person’s data should be entered under “Spouse’s Taxpayer ID and Spouse’s Last Name”. Also, write DECD after their first name. For an example, please see Page 11. Filing Status Federal Adjusted Gross Income If you are using filing status 1, 2 or 5, enter your Federal Adjusted Gross Income from Federal Form 1040, Line 11 into Column B. If you were not required to file a federal return, complete Federal Form 1040 to determine your federal adjusted gross income. If you are using Filing Status 3 or 4, use the worksheet on page 6 to assist in separating income, losses, and deductions between spouses. You must each report your own income, losses, and deductions, and one-half of income derived from securities, bank accounts, real estate, etc., which are titled or registered in joint names. Line 2 Interest on State and Local Obligations other than Delaware Please indicate your filing status by marking the appropriate box. Interest you received from any obligations of States other than Delaware, or their political subdivisions is taxable and must be added on Line 2. FILING STATUS 1 – SINGLE TAXPAYER Examples of interest that is taxable: If you were single on December 31, 2023, consider yourself Single for the whole year and use Filing Status 1. • Interest received on Pennsylvania Turnpike Bonds. • Mutual fund dividends not included on Line 1 that are attributable to interest on state or local obligations (minus those attributable to the State of Delaware and its authorities and political subdivisions provided the mutual fund reports that amount to you in writing). FILING STATUS 2, 3, AND 4 – MARRIED TAXPAYERS You may file Joint, Separate, or Combined Separate Delaware returns. If you use Filing Status 4, you are in fact filing two separate returns which have been combined on the same form for convenience. NOTE: Generally, separate returns (filing status 3 or 4) will be advantageous if both spouses have Delaware adjusted gross income in excess of $9,400. If you elect to use Filing Status 3 or 4, both you and your spouse must compute your taxable income the same way. This means if one itemizes deductions, the other must itemize. If one takes the standard deduction, the other must take the standard deduction in computing taxable income. If you elect to use Filing Status 3, you must include your spouse’s name and taxpayer ID on your return. For Filing Status 3 or 4, you must each report your own income, personal credits, deductions, and one-half of the income derived from securities, bank accounts, real estate, etc., which are titled or registered in joint names. FILING STATUS 5 – HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD If you filed as Head of Household on your federal return or qualify as certain married persons living apart, you may file as Head of Household on your Delaware return. Line 3 Fiduciary Adjustments, Oil Percentage Depletion Net additions from fiduciary adjustments derived from income received from an estate or trust as shown on Federal Form K-1, Beneficiary’s Share of Federal Income and Deductions, should be included on Line 3. 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 3. Section B - Subtractions Line 5 Interest Received on U.S. Obligations Interest received on obligations of the United States included on your federal tax return is exempt from Delaware tax and should be entered on Line 5. Failure to identify the payor on Federal Schedule B will result in the disallowance of the deduction. 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 5 (Examples are shown in the table below).

Amounts received as pensions from employers (including pensions of a deceased taxpayer) may qualify for an exclusion from Delaware taxable income, subject to the limitations described below. An early distribution from an IRA or pension fund for emergency reasons or following a separation from employment does not qualify for the pension exclusion. If the distribution code listed in Box 7 of your 1099 R is a 1 (one), or if you were assessed an early withdrawal penalty on Federal 1040, Schedule 2, Line 8 for the distribution, then that distribution DOES NOT qualify for the pension exclusion. Pension Exclusion for Individuals Under 60 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 a nonmilitary pension, your exclusion equals $2,000 or the amount of your pension, whichever is less. IF YOU WERE 60 OR OVER on December 31, 2023, your exclusion is determined as follows: 1. Amount of pension ........................................... $ Amount of “eligible retirement income” 2. (See definition below) ......................................... $ 3. Total (add lines 1 and 2) ................................... $ Enter Line 3 or $12,500, whichever is less here and on Line 6 ............................................ $ 4. 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 generally is the age at which you can first receive a pension or annuity if you are not disabled. Therefore, disability pension income would 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. The income from these joint accounts would be split equally between the two taxpayers. Both taxpayers, in this example, are over 60 years old. The primary taxpayer has $14,500 of eligible retirement income (10,000+ 2,500+500+1,500=14,500), so the pension exclusion for the primary taxpayer is $12,500, the maximum exclusion. The eligible retirement income of the secondary taxpayer is $4,500 (2,500+500+1,500= 4,500), so the secondary taxpayer is entitled to a pension exclusion of $4,500. The secondary taxpayer cannot include in the pension exclusion calculation the amount by which the primary taxpayer exceeded the $12,500 maximum exclusion. When filing a joint return, the combined exclusion for the primary and secondary taxpayer would be $17,000 (12,500+4,500). Please remember to enclose the 1099R forms and other supporting schedules to support your pension exclusion. Line 7 Eligible retirement income includes dividends, capital gains net of capital losses, interest, net rental income from real property and qualified retirement plans (IRC Sec. 4974), such as IRA, 401(k), Keogh plans, and government deferred compensation plans (IRC Sec. 457). Delaware State Tax Refund, Fiduciary Adjustment, Work Opportunity Tax Credit, Delaware NOL Carryovers Delaware State Tax Refund If some or all of your Delaware state tax refund was included in federal adjusted gross income, include the amount on line 7 to reduce your Delaware AGI. Page 6 Fiduciary Adjustment Net subtractions from fiduciary adjustments derived from income received from an estate or trust, as shown on your Federal Form K-1, Beneficiary’s Share of Income and Deductions, should be included on Line 7. Work Opportunity Tax Credit The law allows a deduction for the portion of wages paid but disallowed as a deduction for federal tax purposes by reason of claiming the work opportunity credit on the federal return. That portion of the deduction for wages, which is disallowed for federal purposes, should be entered on Line 7. In order to claim this modification, you must attach Federal Form 5884. Delaware Net Operating Loss Carryovers Taxpayers who were prevented in previous years from carrying back federal net operating losses to their Delaware returns (because of Delaware’s $30,000 limit on net operating loss carrybacks) are permitted to carry these additional losses forward on their Delaware return in years following the loss year. Taxable Social Security/RR Retirement Benefits/Higher Education Exclusion/Certain Lump Sum Distributions Social Security/Railroad Retirement Benefits Line 8a Higher Education Distributions received from qualified retirement plans (IRC Sec. 4974, including IRAs), deferred arrangements (such as 401(k) plans) and government deferred compensation plans (IRC Sec. 457) may be excluded from Delaware adjusted gross income to the extent they are used in the same tax year to pay for books, tuition or fees at an institution of higher education attended by the taxpayer or by his or her dependents who have NOT attained the age of 26 by December 31, 2023, as long as such amounts have been included in federal adjusted gross income. Please include a copy of all 1098T forms and proof of payment(s) with your return to support your deduction. Certain Lump Sum Distributions Enter on Line 8a the amount, if any, of lump sum distributions included in federal adjusted gross income for which you used Form PIT-STC to calculate the tax on Line 24. 529 Contribution to Delaware-sponsored Tuition Program and ABLE Program 529 Contribution to Delaware-sponsored Tuition Program Contributions made to a Delaware-sponsored tuition program may be excluded from Delaware adjusted gross income up to a maximum. For a single, married filing separately, or head of household filer whose federal adjusted gross income is less than $100,000 the maximum exclusion is $1,000. For married filing joint filers whose federal adjusted gross income is less than $200,000 the maximum exclusion is $2,000. Contributions to an account in a Delaware-sponsored tuition program for expenses used for tuition in connection with enrollment or attendance at an elementary or secondary public, private, or religious school are not deductible. Please mark the box indicating your deduction is related to a 529 Contribution to a Delaware-sponsored tuition program. ABLE Program Contributions Contributions made to a qualified ABLE program (IRC Sec. 529A(b)) up to a maximum of $5,000 for individual filers and $10,000 for joint filers may be excluded from Delaware adjusted gross income. Please mark the box indicating your deduction is related to an ABLE program. Line 11 Single, married filing separate returns. Y N Married filing joint returns.

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!
