If the taxable liability for the tax year is less than $5,000, estimated corporate income tax payments aren’t required. Estimated penalty and interest are assessed on the difference between the estimated payments and the amount of estimated tax due, computed using the lower of Method 1, 2, 3, or 4. The Department automatically computes estimated payments using the lower of Methods 1, 2, or 3. To use Method 4, you must attach a completed RPD-41287, Calculation of Estimated Corporate Income Method 4 Tax Penalty and Interest on Underpayment, and mark box 26a on CIT-1, page 2. For a description of Methods 1, 2, 3, and 4 for calculating the underpayment penalty and interest, see Determine The Amount Of Your Quarterly Estimated Tax Payment on page 3 of these instructions. See also the instructions for CIT-ES, Corporate Income and Franchise Estimated Tax Payment Voucher. HOW TO COMPLETE THE FORM Section 1: Calculate the estimated installment tax payment due for each quarter using Method 4 and calculate the underpayment for each quarter. Calculating estimated tax using Method 4 requires that you compute corporate income tax due, net of any tax credit applied to the tax due, for each quarter of the current taxable year. The amount of the installment tax payment due for each quarter is 80% of the tax due for that quarter. The installment tax payments are due on or before the 15th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 12th month of the tax year. Important: The Department does observe Federal and State holidays, this may impact the due dates for returns and payments. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a Federal/State holiday the due date is the next business day. Requesting the Department to calculate penalty and interest on underpayment of estimated corporate income tax using Method 4. If you want the Department to compute the penalty and interest on underpayment of estimated corporate income tax using Method 4, mark the box in Section at the bottom of RPD-41287. Next, complete Sections 1 and 2 only, and then mark box 26a on CIT-1, page 2, and submit RPD-41287 with your CIT-1. Line 1. For each quarter enter the due date of the quarterly estimated installment tax payment. Enter the 15th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 12th month of the tax year. For calendar-year taxpayers, the due dates are Apr.15; June 15; Sept.15; and Dec. 15. Line 2. Enter the New Mexico net taxable income earned in the corresponding quarter. The New Mexico net taxable income for each quarter is the portion of the amount entered on CIT-1, line 9, earned in the applicable quarter. The amount is the net taxable income earned for the quarter, before applying the New Mexico percentage. Line 3. For each quarter, enter the net New Mexico corporate income tax due for the corresponding fiscal quarter. If less than zero, enter zero. The corporate income tax due for each quarter is based on the income earned during the fiscal quarter after applying the New Mexico percentage, less allowable credits. Line 4. To complete line 4 for each quarter, multiply line 3 of the corresponding column by 80% (0.80). This is the estimated installment tax payment due. Line 5. Record the sum of all timely estimated tax payments made or credited to each quarter, not to exceed the underpayment reported on line 4. Include only payments made on or before the due date of the installment payment. Include any carryforwards from previous tax year returns in the first quarter installment payment. Include overpayments of a prior quarter installment payment that’s applied to the current installment payment. Also include tax withheld. Include only timely installment payments made on or before the date the installment payment is due (line 1). Report payments made after each quarterly due date for the current quarter on line 7. How Installment Payments Are Applied An installment payment of estimated tax is first applied to the quarter as directed by the taxpayer. You can only apply an overpayment of an installment payment to a prior quarter or a later quarter installment payment when it exceeds the amount due for the quarter indicated on the payment. Including Tax Withheld The amount of tax withheld under the Withholding Tax Act [Section 7-3-1 NMSA 1978] or the Oil and Gas Proceeds and Pass-Through Entity Withholding Tax Act [Section 7-3A-1 NMSA 1978] shall be deemed a payment of estimated tax. An equal amount of the tax withheld is deemed paid on each quarterly payment RPD-41287 (2023) Rev. 04/01/2023 New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department 2023 Calculation of Estimated Corporate Income Tax — Method 4 Penalty and Interest on Underpayment Instructions (2 of 3) due date unless the taxpayer establishes the dates on which all amounts were actually withheld, in which case the amounts withheld shall be deemed payments of estimated tax on the due dates on which the amounts were actually withheld. Line 6. Calculate any underpayment as of the due date of the installment tax payment for each quarter by subtracting line 5 from line 4. Line 7. Record the sum of all estimated installment tax payments made against each quarter that was paid after the due date of the installment tax payment. Line 8. For each column, add the amounts on lines 5 and 7.

If no underpayment of estimated tax payment is recorded on Section 1, line 6, for a quarter, you don’t need to complete a column for that quarter. Line 9. Enter the underpaid amount of the estimated installment payment due as of the due date of the installment payment (from Section 1, line 6). Do this even if multiple late payments have been made for the quarter listed at the top of the column.

If the annual interest rate is blank, then the annual interest rate for the quarter was not announced by the IRS when this form was published. Check the Department RPD-41287 (2023) Rev. 04/01/2023 New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department 2023 Calculation of Estimated Corporate Income Tax — Method 4 Penalty and Interest on Underpayment Instructions (2 of 3) website for a current list of the applicable interest rates.

This is the total interest on underpayment of estimated income tax. Lines 31 and 32. Compute the penalty on underpayment of estimated installment payments. If you want the Department to compute the penalty and interest on underpayment of estimated corporate income tax using Method 4, mark the box in Section 3, at the bottom of RPD-41287, page 2. Next, complete Sections 1 and 2 only, and then mark the box 26a on CIT-1, page 2, and submit RPD-41287 with your CIT-1. You don’t need to complete Section 4. Line 31. Multiply by 0.02 the underpayment from line 9 of the corresponding column by the number of months or partial months* within the calculation period that the underpayment was unpaid. The calculation period for computing penalty is the period on RPD-41287, page 3, between lines 10 and 11. The formula for computing penalty is: Underpayment x number of full/partial months x 0.02 * Compute the number of full/partial months within the calculation period that the underpayment on line 9 remains unpaid. To calculate months or partial months, begin counting on the day after the due date of the estimated installment tax payment. Payments received the day after the due date of the installment tax payment are paid one partial month late. Add one month for each 15th of the month that passes before the payment is made. Don’t count months or partial months after the due date of the return. Line 32. Enter the sum of line 31, columns (a) through (h). This is the total penalty on underpayment of estimated income tax. Determine The Amount Of Your Quarterly Estimated Tax Payment To avoid penalty and interest for underpayment of estimated tax, calculate the estimated tax by one of the following methods: • Method 1. 80% of the current year’s estimated tax liability. • Method 2. 100% of the previous year’s tax liability, if it’s a full 12-month year. • Method 3. 110% of the liability for the year immediately preceding the previous tax year, if it’s a full 12-month tax year and the return for the previous tax year hasn’t been filed, and the extended due date for filing the return for the previous tax year hasn’t occurred at the time the first estimated payment installment of the current tax year is due. • Method 4. 80% of the estimated tax liability for each quarter of the current tax year calculated on a period-by-period basis, not accumulative. When using Methods 1, 2, or 3, estimated tax must be paid in four installments equal to 25% of the estimated tax. Method 4 requires an installment of 100% of the estimated tax payment calculated for the quarter. Use the corporate income tax rates in the Instructions for Form CIT-1 to estimate your income tax liability. Restrictions On Methods Of Computing The Installment Payment Due • Method 2. Use only (a) if a corporate tax return was filed for the immediate prior year, and (b) such prior year was a full 12-month or a 52/53-week year. • Method 3. Use only if the tax year immediately preceding the previous tax year was a full 12-month year, the return for the previous tax year hasn’t been filed, and the extended due date for filing that return hasn’t occurred at the time the first installment is due. • Method 4. Taxpayers whose corporate income tax less credits for the current tax year is $5,000 or greater and whose income is seasonal or varied throughout the year may use Method 4 to adjust required payments due for each fiscal quarter based on actual income received. If you owe penalty and interest on underpayment of estimated corporate income tax using the lowest of Methods 1, 2, or 3, and Method 4 applies, you may further lower the amount of penalty and interest you owe by using Method 4.

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!
