GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Estimated income tax is the amount of income tax a corporation expects to owe for the tax year after subtracting the amount of any tax credits taken during
the tax year. A corporation that expects to incur an income tax liability to North Carolina of $500 or more during the taxable year must submit a declaration
of estimated tax. Complete the worksheet below to determine if estimated income tax is due.
Generally, a corporation must make its first estimated income tax payment by the fifteenth day of the fourth month of its taxable year. A schedule for determining when a corporation must pay its estimated income tax is located on page 2.
To pay estimated income tax, a taxpayer must file Form CD-429 by the date determined. A taxpayer can use the Department’s website or mail the completed
form to the address provided. The Department’s website offers two electronic options,
(1) an online filing and payment system, and (2) an eFile program. For more information, visit www.ncdor.gov.
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
Fill in the applicable circle if the corporation is determined to be tax exempt for State income tax purposes but required to report unrelated business income,
a non U.S./foreign corporation whose federal statutory due date is the fifteenth day of the seventh month, a cooperative, or mutual association.

Failure to Pay Estimated Tax
Failure to pay the required amount of estimated income tax will subject the corporation to interest on the underpayment of estimated income
tax provided in Article 4C of Chapter 105 of the General Statutes. It is important to estimate the corporation’s income tax carefully to avoid
interest on the underpayment of estimated income tax.
