DR 0112EP — C Corp Estimated Tax Payment

preamble

*DO=NOT=SEND* Corporate Estimated Income Tax Instructions See publication Corporate Income Tax Guide available at Tax.Colorado.gov for more information. General Rule In most cases, a corporation is required to pay estimated tax if it can reasonably expect the net tax liability will exceed $5,000 for 2026. For taxpayers with a short taxable year, please see the Corporate Income Tax Guide or refer to Department regulation 39-22-606 available at Tax.Colorado.gov for more information. Required Payments The required annual amount to be paid is the smaller of: • 70% of the actual net Colorado tax liability; or • 100% of the preceding year's net Colorado tax liability. This rule only applies if the preceding year was a 12-month tax year, the corporation filed a Colorado return, and the corporation is not defined as a large corporation* under section 6655 of the federal Internal Revenue Code. *Any large corporation may base their first quarter estimated tax payment on 25% of the tax liability from the previous year. However, the remaining payments must be based on the actual tax liability for the current year. If, after calculating the tax liability for the current year, it is determined that the first quarter was underestimated the shortage shall be calculated into and paid with the second quarter. Calculating the Payment Use the provided worksheet to calculate the amount of estimated tax owed. Payments and forms should be submitted using the same method (separate, consolidated, combined) and using the same account number as will be used on the C Corporation Income Tax Return (DR 0112). If, for any reason, the account numbers are inconsistent, the department must be notified in writing prior to filing DR 0112. Mail this notification to: Remit payments on or before the due date table provided on the next page (adjust for fiscal year taxpayers). It is strongly recommended that payments be remitted electronically to avoid processing delays. This form can be copied and used for each of the four quarterly payments, if an electronic payment cannot be made for any reason. Penalties Failure to timely remit estimated tax as necessary will result in an estimated tax penalty. Penalty will be calculated for each missed payment, late payment, or underpayment. For calculation specifics, or to remit this penalty before being billed, see form DR 0205, Underpayment of Corporate Estimated Tax. Go Green with Revenue Online Colorado.gov/RevenueOnline allows taxpayers to file taxes, remit payments and monitor their tax accounts. DR 0112EP is not required to be sent if electronic payment is remitted through this site. Please be advised that a small processing fee may apply to electronic payments. Additional information, guidance publications and forms are available at Tax.Colorado.gov or you may call 303-238-SERV (7378) for assistance.
