Who is a Resident?
A resident is an individual who either:

  • Is domiciled in this State for any part of the taxable year; or
  • Maintains a place of abode in this State and spends more than 183 days of the taxable year in this State.

A domicile is the place an individual intends to be his permanent home; a place to which he intends to return whenever he may be absent. An individual can have only one domicile. A domicile, once established, continues until the individual moves to a new location and exhibits a bona fide intention of making it his or her permanent home.
Full-Time Students with a legal residence in another state remain legal residents of that state unless they exhibit intentions to make Delaware their permanent residence.
NOTE*: Foreign Travelers - If you were out of the United States for at least 495 days in the last 18 consecutive months and (at the same time) you did not maintain a permanent place of abode in this State at which you, your spouse, your children, or your parents were present for more than 45 days, you are not considered a resident of this State.
*The above NOTE does not apply to members of the Armed Forces, employees of the United States, its agencies, or instrumentalities.
Taxpayers with Disabilities-Minors-Deceased Taxpayers
If an individual is unable to file a return because they are a minor or are disabled, the return shall be filed by their authorized agent, guardian, fiduciary, or the person charged with the care of the person or property of such individual. See the federal Form 1040 instructions for those authorized to sign. If an individual is deceased, their final return shall be filed by their executor, administrator, or other person responsible for the property of the decedent. Please see 'Deceased Taxpayer' on Page 11 for further instructions on deceased taxpayers.

Members of Armed Forces
While you are stationed in Delaware, your military and non-military pay is subject to Delaware state income tax as follows:
Members of the Armed Forces
Are you a Legal
Resident of
Delaware?
Delaware Filing Required
Military
Active-Duty
Income
Other Income
Earned in DE
Other Income
Earned in
Other States
Yes Yes* Yes* Yes*
No No Yes* No
*Whether you are stationed in Delaware or not.
Your state of legal residence is the same as it was when you entered the Armed Forces unless you voluntarily changed it while in the Armed Forces. For example, if you were a legal resident of Delaware when you entered the Armed Forces, you remain a legal resident of Delaware for Delaware state income tax purposes unless you voluntarily abandoned your Delaware residency and established a new legal domicile in another state.
If you change your legal residence, in the year you change, you are a partyear resident of both states. A change in legal residence is documented by filing DD Form 2058 and DD Form 2058-1 with your military personnel office.
The following examples illustrate this:

  1. Airman John Green, who is a legal resident of Delaware (domiciled in Delaware), was ordered to duty in, and moved his family to, New Jersey. The family has no income other than Green's military pay.

Airman Green will file a federal and Delaware Resident tax return only.
A New Jersey state tax return is not required.

  1. Sergeant Paul Smith, whose domicile is Ohio, to which he is liable for income taxes, has been on active duty in Delaware for 12 months.

Sergeant Smith is single and has non-military income from Delaware.
Sergeant Smith will file as a non-resident of Delaware (using Form PIT-
NON) reporting all his income in Column A. He will deduct his military compensation from his Delaware Non-Resident Return as a federal adjustment to gross income. (Column A, Line 16.) Sergeant Smith should contact Ohio for his filing requirements for Ohio.
Military Spouses
All income of a non-military spouse is taxed in the state of their legal residence. The following examples illustrate this:

  1. Airman Dan Brown and his spouse are legal residents of Delaware (domiciled in Delaware). Airman Brown was ordered to duty in, and moved with his spouse to, New Jersey. Besides Airman Brown's military pay, his spouse has New Jersey source wages. Airman Brown and his spouse will file both a federal and Delaware Resident tax return reporting both military and nonmilitary income. A New Jersey state tax return is not required.
  2. Sergeant Michael Jones, whose domicile is not Delaware, has been on active duty in Delaware for 12 months. Sergeant Jones is married, and his spouse has non-military income from Delaware. If Sergeant Jones' spouse maintains a legal residence in a state other than Delaware, a Delaware state tax return will not be required. Sergeant Jones and his spouse should contact their state of legal residence for their filing requirements.

A military spouse claiming an exemption from Delaware's income Tax withholding requirements must complete an Annual Withholding Tax Exemption Certification Form, Form WTH-EXM, and provide it to their employer. This form is also available on our website at revenue.delaware. gov . A military spouse claiming an exemption must meet the conditions set forth under the Service Members Civil Relief Act, as amended by the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act.

Requirement to File Estimated Taxes
Every person who is either a resident of Delaware or has income from Delaware sources may be required to file quarterly Declarations of Estimated Tax to the Delaware Division of Revenue if the Delaware tax liability less Delaware withholding and credits can reasonably be expected to exceed $800 (See worksheet on page 4).
You may be required to make estimated tax payments if you receive unemployment compensation, a lump sum distribution, or a large bonus at the end of the year.
You may also be required to make estimated tax payments if you are a Delaware resident and:

The Delaware Code provides that interest on any underpayment or late payment of income taxes due shall accrue at the rate of ½% per month, from the date prescribed for payments to the date paid.

  1. Penalty - Late-filing of balance due return

The law imposes substantial penalties for failure to file a timely return. Late-filed returns with a balance due are subject to a penalty of 5% per month of the balance due.

  1. Penalty - Negligence/fraud/substantial understatement

The law also provides severe penalties for filing a false or fraudulent return, or for a false certification. The mere fact that the figures you report on your Delaware return are taken from your federal return will not relieve you from the imposition of penalties for negligence or for filing a false or fraudulent return.

  1. Penalty - Failure to pay

The law provides a penalty of 1% per month (not to exceed 25%) of the net tax liabilities for failure to pay the tax liability due on a timely filed or late-filed return. This penalty is in addition to the interest charged for late payment.

  1. Penalty - Failure to File/Pay Estimated Taxes

The law provides a penalty of 1½% per month of the computed tax payment for failure to file/pay estimated taxes due. This penalty is in addition to those penalties and interest listed above. The penalty is also assessed if an estimated payment is filed late.
Federal Privacy Act Information
Taxpayer IDs must be included on your income tax return. The mandatory disclosure of your Taxpayer ID is authorized by Section 306, Title 30 of the Delaware Code. Such numbers are used primarily to administer and enforce all tax laws, both civil and criminal, for which the Division of Revenue has statutory responsibility.
Amended Returns
If any changes made to your federal return affect your state income tax liability, you are required to report the change to the Delaware Division of Revenue within ninety (90) days after the final determination of such a change and indicate your agreement with the determination or the grounds of your disagreement. Use Form PIT-RES to change an income tax return you have filed and attach a copy of any federal adjustments.
Rounding Off Dollars
Dollar amounts on your return must be rounded off to the nearest whole dollar. This means that amounts from 50 to 99 cents are increased to the next dollar. For example, $1.50 becomes $2.00 and $1.49 becomes $1.00.
Address Change
If you move after you file your return, you should notify the Division of Revenue of your address change in writing. Please be sure to include your and your spouse's Taxpayer ID(s) in any correspondence with the Division of Revenue.

Page 1 of Form PIT-RES

FILING STATUS 2, 3, AND 4 - MARRIED TAXPAYERS
You may file Joint, Separate, or Combined Separate Delaware returns. If you use Filing Status 4, you are in fact filing two separate returns which have been combined on the same form for convenience.
NOTE: Generally, separate returns (filing status 3 or 4) will be advantageous if both spouses have Delaware adjusted gross income in excess of $9,400.
If you elect to use Filing Status 3 or 4, both you and your spouse must compute your taxable income the same way. This means if one itemizes deductions, the other must itemize. If one takes the standard deduction, the other must take the standard deduction in computing taxable income.
If you elect to use Filing Status 3, you must include your spouse's name and taxpayer ID on your return.
For Filing Status 3 or 4, you must each report your own income, personal credits, deductions, and one-half of the income derived from securities, bank accounts, real estate, etc., which are titled or registered in joint names.
FILING STATUS 5 - HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD
If you filed as Head of Household on your federal return or qualify as certain married persons living apart, you may file as Head of Household on your Delaware return.
Part Year Residents
If you were a part-year resident of Delaware in 2025 electing to file as a full-year resident, indicate the dates of your Delaware residency.
PIT-UND Indicator
Check the "Form PIT-UND Attached" box and attach a copy of Form PIT-UND to your return if you have calculated the underpayment of estimated taxes and an estimated penalty is due OR if you completed Part 3. Use Form PIT-UND to determine if you owe a penalty for the underpayment of estimated tax and to calculate the amount of the penalty.
To obtain Form PIT-UND, please contact our offices or visit the Division of Revenue website at revenue.delaware.gov. Do NOT check this box if a completed Form PIT-UND (Pages 1 and 2) is not being sent with your return. Do NOT submit a federal Form 2210 instead of a Form PIT-UND.
Do not submit computer worksheets in lieu of Form PIT-UND.
Line-by-Line Instructions

Examples of interest that is taxable:

  • Interest received on Pennsylvania Turnpike Bonds.
  • Mutual fund dividends not included on Line 1 that are attributable to interest on state or local obligations (minus those attributable to the State of Delaware and its authorities and political subdivisions provided the mutual fund reports that amount to you in writing).

Section B - Subtractions
Line 5 Interest Received on U.S. Obligations
Interest received on obligations of the United States included on your federal tax return is exempt from Delaware tax and should be entered on Line 5. Failure to identify the payor on federal Schedule B will result in the disallowance of the deduction.

If the distribution code listed in Box 7 of your 1099 R is a 1 (one), or if you were assessed an early withdrawal penalty on federal 1040, Schedule 2, Line 8 for the distribution, then that distribution DOES NOT qualify for the pension exclusion.

  1. Amount of pension $
  2. Amount of "eligible retirement income"

(See definition below) $

  1. Total (add lines 1 and 2) $
  2. Enter Line 3 or $12,500, whichever is less here and on Line 6 $ Eligible retirement income includes dividends, capital gains net of capital losses, interest, net rental income from real property and qualified retirement plans (IRC Sec. 4974), such as IRA, 401(k), Keogh plans, and government deferred compensation plans (IRC Sec. 457).

NOTE: Each taxpayer may receive ONLY ONE pension exclusion, even if he or she is receiving more than one pension or other retirement distribution. Spouses who each receive pensions are entitled to one exclusion each.
Disability pension income paid by your employer is reported as wages on the federal return, until you reach the minimum retirement age.
Minimum retirement age generally is the age at which you can first receive a pension or annuity if you are not disabled. Therefore, disability pension income would not qualify for the pension exclusion.
Pension Exclusion Example: The primary taxpayer received $10,000 in pension income. The secondary taxpayer received no pension income.
The taxpayers had joint bank accounts and mutual fund accounts. They earned $5,000 in interest from the bank, $1,000 in dividends and $3,000 in capital gains. The income from these joint accounts would be split equally between the two taxpayers.
Both taxpayers, in this example, are over 60 years old. The primary taxpayer has $14,500 of eligible retirement income (10,000+ 2,500+500+1,500=14,500), so the pension exclusion for the primary taxpayer is $12,500, the maximum exclusion. The eligible retirement income of the secondary taxpayer is $4,500 (2,500+500+1,500= 4,500), so the secondary taxpayer is entitled to a pension exclusion of $4,500. The secondary taxpayer cannot include in the pension exclusion calculation the amount by which the primary taxpayer exceeded the $12,500 maximum exclusion. When filing a joint return, the combined exclusion for the primary and secondary taxpayer would be $17,000 (12,500+4,500).
Please remember to enclose the 1099R forms and other supporting schedules to support your pension exclusion.

Line 25 Lump Sum Distribution
A qualified lump sum distribution is the payment of the entire balance from a qualified plan (for example, pension, profit-sharing or stock bonus plans). The payments must all be received in the same tax year.
This form applies, in the case of someone who is not self-employed, only when the distribution (defined above) was made:

  • Due to the participant's death;
  • Due to the participant's separation from employment; or
  • After the participant had attained age 59½.

In the case of a self-employed person, this form applies only when the distribution (defined above) was made:

  • Due to the participant's death;
  • After the participant had attained age 59 ½; or
  • The participant was previously disabled.

An early distribution from an IRA or pension fund for emergency reasons or following a separation from employment does not qualify for the pension exclusion. If the distribution code listed in Box 7 of your 1099 R is a 1 (one), or if you were assessed an early withdrawal penalty on federal 1040, Schedule 2, Line 6 for the distribution, then that distribution DOES NOT qualify for the pension exclusion. Please attach the appropriate forms with your return.
Line 27a Personal Credits
Enter the total number of dependents listed on your federal return, multiply by $110 and enter the total on Line 27a. If you are married and filing a combined separate return (Filing Status 4), split the total between Columns A and B in increments of $110. You are still eligible for this credit even though you do not recognize personal exemptions on your federal return.
NOTE: You are not entitled to a Delaware Personal Credit if you are listed as a dependent on another individual's Federal return.
Enter "0" in the space provided on Line 27a. Please mark the box on the front of the return indicating you are a dependent on another's return.
If you are married and filing separate returns (Filing Status 3), allocate dependents to each return and multiply by $110, entering the total for each return in Column B. Please see example below. All other filing statuses place the total in Column B.
If you were not required to file a federal return, enter $110 for each spouse reporting income plus $110 for each person who could have been listed as a dependent had you been required to file a federal return. Allocate the total personal credits for your filing status as described in the paragraph above.
Example: If you filed your federal return as married filing jointly and have no dependents, enter $220.

  • $110 in each column if Filing Status 4
  • $110 per return in Column B if Filing Status 3, or
  • $220 in Column B if Filing Status 2.

Please ensure that the number of personal credits listed on the Delaware return does not exceed the number of dependents reflected on your federal return. This data will be verified with the IRS.

Line 27b Additional Personal Credits
If you and/or your spouse were 60 years of age or over on December 31, 2025, check the appropriate box(es), multiply the number of boxes checked by $110, and enter the total on Line 27b.
If you are filing a combined separate return (Filing Status 4), enter $110 in the column(s) that correspond to the checked box(es).
Line 28 Other State Tax Credit
If you are a resident of Delaware (or elect to be taxed as one) and pay income taxes to another state on income earned in the other state which is also included in your Delaware taxable income, the law allows you a tax credit against your Delaware income tax. Do not include city wage taxes or county taxes paid directly to the county. (See Worksheet below.) If you claim a credit for taxes paid to another state, you must attach a signed copy of the income tax return filed with the other state(s). In addition, your Delaware return information will be shared with the other state(s) for which you claimed the credit.
If you are claiming a credit for taxes paid to more than one state, you must complete Form PIT-RSS Schedule I and attach it to your resident return.
Example: You claim a credit for taxes paid to Pennsylvania and New Jersey on your Delaware return. On Form PIT-RSS Schedule I, enter the names of the other States and amount of credit claimed in HIGHEST to LOWEST credit amount order.

NOTE: If you file using filing status 4 - married filing combined separate - enter the credit in the column for the person who actually worked or was taxed by the other state.
NOTE: Taxes paid to a political subdivision of a state cannot be claimed as a credit. The District of Columbia is classified as a "State" for the purpose of this credit and, therefore, taxes paid to the District of Columbia can be claimed as a credit on Line 12.
Line 29 Volunteer Firefighter Credit
Enter on Line 29 the total of the following credit(s) to which you are entitled:
