Vouchers and Instructions for Estimated Tax Payments
2024 Form 1040ES Worksheet

State of Maine Estimated Tax for Individuals Maine Revenue Services P.O. Box 9101 Augusta, Maine 04332-9101 FORM 1040ES-ME Instructions Maine Tax Portal • These instructions are intended for the majority of taxpayers who report on a calendar year basis. If you report on a fiscal year basis, the dates should be changed to correspond with your fiscal year. Pay your income taxes electronically at revenue.maine.gov. Electronic payments eliminate the necessity of filing Forms 1040ES-ME (income tax estimated payment vouchers). Note: Certain taxpayers with large annual tax liabilities are required to remit tax payments electronically. See Maine Rule 102 on the Maine Revenue Services website at www.maine.gov/revenue (select Laws & Rules). • You may download additional worksheets and vouchers from the internet at www.maine.gov/revenue/tax-return-forms. • Please file the original or downloaded estimated tax voucher with Maine Revenue Services. Make a copy of the voucher for your records. 1) WHO MUST MAKE ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENTS. In most cases, you must pay estimated tax if your estimated Maine income tax for the year, over and above tax withheld and allowable credits, is $1,000 or more and if your tax liability for the prior year was also $1,000 or more. 2) HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR ESTIMATED TAX. Use the worksheet on page 2 to calculate your estimated tax. To avoid penalties, the estimated tax paid must be no less than the smaller of the following: a) An amount equal to the preceding year’s tax liability, if the preceding year was a taxable year of 12 months; or b) An amount equal to 90% of the tax liability for the current taxable year. You will also find information concerning the Maine personal exemption, standard deduction, and the tax rate schedules on page 2. The exemption amount, standard deduction amounts and tax rate schedules are those in effect under current law for tax years beginning in 2024. Note – Special Rule for Unusual Event Income. Definitions. For purposes of this special rule, the following terms have the following meanings: Maine taxable income means income subject to Maine income tax, but which is not subject to Maine income tax withholding. For example, for purposes of this special rule, Maine taxable income includes business income and capital gains, but does not include wages. Unusual event income means Maine taxable income (as defined above) received during an estimated tax installment period of the current tax year, but only if that amount exceeds the Maine taxable income received during the same estimated tax installment period of the prior tax year by $500,000 or more. Special Rule. If you have unusual event income, you must pay a Maine estimated tax on that income equal to 90% of the tax liability on that income. This special rule prohibits you from utilizing the prior year tax liability rule under paragraph a above to determine the amount of Maine estimated tax due on unusual event income. The estimated tax due on unusual event income is in addition to the estimated tax due on any other income received during the installment period (such as pension or annuity income subject to Maine income tax withholding where the Maine withholding amount is insufficient). Maine income that is not unusual event income is subject to the regular estimated tax requirements contained in 36 M.R.S. § 5228 and briefly described in these instructions. Example: If your Maine taxable income not subject to withholding during January-March 2023 was $300,000 and your Maine taxable income during January-March 2024 is $900,000, you have unusual event income (i.e., the 2024 income amount exceeds the 2023 income amount by $500,000 or more). Therefore, under the special rule, you must pay a Maine estimated tax for the January-March 2024 installment period equal to 90% of the tax liability on the $600,000 ($900,000 - $300,000). You cannot, with respect to the $600,000, calculate the estimated tax based on your prior year tax liability (as may be allowed for other income). Extension to pay; waiver of penalty. If you are subject to the special rule described above and you meet all of the criteria listed below, you are entitled to an extension of time to pay the estimated tax or to receive a waiver of penalty associated with the unusual event income. Any extension of time granted may not extend past the original due date for filing the return for the tax year. Requests for extension of time to pay or for waiver of penalty must be submitted to the State Tax Assessor in writing. You must meet all of the following: a) You are an owner in a pass-through entity; b) You had no control over the distribution of the unusual event income; c) You did not actually or constructively receive payment of the unusual event income; and d) You pay the estimated tax on the unusual event income by the estimated tax installment payment due date following the installment period during which you actually or constructively receive the unusual event income. 3) WHEN AND WHERE TO MAKE PAYMENTS. The first installment payment is due on April 17, 2024. You may either pay all of your estimated tax at that time or pay in four equal installments on April 17, 2024, June 17, 2024, September 16, 2024, and January 15, 2025. Payments can be made electronically using the Maine Tax Portal (no forms required) at revenue. maine.gov or send your payment with the appropriate voucher Form 1040ESME to the address printed on the voucher. If you overpaid your 2023 income tax and elected to apply the overpayment to your 2024 estimated tax, that overpayment may be partially or fully applied to any installment. 4) FARMERS AND FISHERMEN. If at least 2/3 of your estimated adjusted gross income is from farming or fishing, your estimated tax may be paid in a single installment due on or before January 15, 2025. If you file your 2024 individual income tax return on or before March 1, 2025, and pay the total tax at that time, you need not make an estimated tax payment. 5) CHANGES IN INCOME. Even though you are not required to pay estimated tax on April 17, 2024, your expected income may change so that you will be required to pay estimated tax later in the year. When the change becomes known and the estimated tax is calculated, payment may be made at one time on the next installment due date or it may be paid in equal installments on the remaining due dates. If your estimated tax liability decreases because of an income change, reduce the remaining installments. 6) UNDERPAYMENT PENALTY. A penalty accrues automatically on underpayments of the required installment amount for the period of underpayment. The penalty does not apply if each required payment was made on time and if the total estimated tax paid is equal to 90% (66 2/3% for farmers and fishermen) of the income tax liability for the current year or 100% of the tax liability for the preceding year, if that year was a taxable year of 12 months. If you have unusual event income, you may be eligible to request an extension of time to pay the estimated tax or to request a waiver of the penalty associated with unusual event income.

Form 1040ES-ME is a Maine 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!
