Estimated Income Tax Instructions
2024 D-101a Form 1-ES Instructions - Estimated Income Tax for Individuals, Estates, and Trusts

2024 Form 1-ES Instructions – Estimated Income Tax for Individuals, Estates, and Trusts Who Must Pay Estimated Tax Tax is required to be paid on income as it is earned or constructively received. Withholding tax and estimated tax are the two methods used to make those required tax payments. Generally, if you work for wages, you have tax withheld from your wages to prepay any tax which will be computed on your income tax return for the year. If you have income from which tax is not withheld (for example, interest, dividends, unemployment compensation, self- employment income, taxable pensions, etc.), you must pay estimated tax to prepay any tax which will be computed on your income tax return for the year. You must pay Wisconsin estimated tax for 2024 if you expect to owe, after subtracting your withholding and credits, at least $500 in tax for 2024 and you expect your withholding to be less than the smallest of (1) 90% of the tax shown on your 2024 income tax return, (2) 100% of the tax shown on your 2023 income tax return, assuming the return covered 12 months*, or (3) 90% of the tax shown on your 2024 income tax return, computed by annualizing your taxable income. You may use Wisconsin Schedule U, Part IV, as a worksheet to annualize income. *This does not apply to estates or trusts that have 2024 taxable income of $20,000 or more. If your 2023 return was adjusted by the department or you filed an amended return, use the tax from the latest adjusted or amended return. Full-year residents, part-year residents, nonresidents, estates and trusts are subject to the estimated tax requirement. You do not have to pay estimated tax if you were a full-year resident of Wisconsin for 2023 and you had no tax liability for that 12-month period. Estates and grantor trusts which are funded on account of a decedent’s death are only required to make estimated tax payments for any tax year ending two or more years after the decedent’s death. Note: Trusts subject to tax on unrelated business income should file on Form Corp-ES. You and your spouse may pay estimated tax either jointly or separately. If joint payments are made, you and your spouse may still file separate income tax returns for 2024. The estimated tax payments may be divided between you and your spouse in any manner you choose. If separate payments are made, you and your spouse may file a joint income tax return for 2024 and apply the separate estimated tax payments to the joint tax liability. However, no part of the separate estimated tax payments may be applied to a separate tax liability of the other spouse. When to Pay Your Estimated Tax Generally, you must make your first estimated tax payment by April 15, 2024. You may pay all your estimated tax at that time or in four equal installments on or before April 15, 2024, June 17, 2024, September 16, 2024, and January 15, 2025. Exceptions to this general rule are as follows: 1. Other payment dates. In some cases, such as an increase in income, you may have to make your first estimated tax payment after April 15, 2024. Any remaining payments should be 1/4 of your required annual payment. The first payment dates are as follows: If the requirement to pay estimated tax is met after: March 31 and before June 1 May 31 and before September 1 August 31 Payment date is: June 17, 2024 September 16, 2024 January 15, 2025 Of the estimated tax due, pay: 1/2 3/4 all 2. Your return as a payment. If you file your 2024 income tax return by January 31, 2025, and pay the entire balance due, you do not have to make your last payment of estimated tax due on January 15, 2025. 3. Farmers and fishers. If at least two-thirds of your gross income (joint gross income, if applicable) for 2023 or 2024 is from farming or fishing, you may: • Pay your 2024 estimated tax in full by January 15, 2025; or • File your 2024 income tax return on or before March 3, 2025, and pay the total tax due. In this case, you need not make estimated tax payments for 2024. 4. Fiscal year. If your return is filed on a fiscal year basis, your due dates are the 15th day of the 4th, 6th, and 9th months of your current fiscal year, and the 1st month of the following fiscal year. Note: If any due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, use the next business day. How to Use Form 1-ES If you have a preprinted voucher, make any corrections necessary to your name and address by lining out the incorrect information and printing in the correct information. To obtain personalized Form 1-ES vouchers, visit the department's website at revenue.wi.gov/Pages/Form/2024TaxForms.aspx or call (608) 266-1961. Complete the “2024 Estimated Income Tax Worksheet” on page 2 of these instructions. Use your 2023 tax return as a guide, but be sure to consider any law changes for 2024. Law changes are published in the Wisconsin Tax Bulletin, which is available on the internet at: revenue.wi.gov/Pages/ISE/wtb-Home.aspx. Fill in the amount from line 12 of the worksheet on the “Amount of Payment” line on Form 1-ES. Include, but do not staple or attach, your check or money order with Form 1-ES.

This is a free service. To pay by credit card, Apple Pay, or PayPal, go to the same web address. You will be redirected to the department's third-party payment processor at the appropriate step. There will be a $1 transaction fee and a 2.25% processing fee charged for this service. If you need help, contact our Customer Service Bureau at (608) 266-2486 or visit any Department of Revenue office. How to Amend Your Estimated Tax Payments If you have a substantial increase or decrease in your estimated tax liability, your estimated tax payments should be amended. To amend your estimated tax payments, recompute your estimated tax liability on the “2024 Estimated Income Tax Worksheet.” Include any estimated tax payments already made for 2024 on line 8 of the worksheet. Then, determine the amount of each remaining installment due: • • • • If all 4 installments are being amended, fill in 1/4 of line 9 from the worksheet on each payment voucher. If 3 installments are being amended, fill in 1/2 of line 9 on the first amended voucher and 1/4 of line 9 on each of the last two vouchers. If 2 installments are being amended, fill in 3/4 of line 9 on the first amended voucher and 1/4 of line 9 on the last voucher. If only the last installment is being amended, fill in all of line 9 on the voucher filed. D-101A (R. 1-24) Interest Charge for Failure to Pay Estimated Tax If you are required to pay estimated tax and you do not, or you underpay any installment, you are subject to interest on the underpayment amount when you file your 2024 return. Wisconsin Schedule U is used to compute the interest due. The Schedule U instructions provide information on exceptions to the interest charge.

Form 1-ES Instructions is a Wisconsin 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!
