To make an estimated tax payment online, log on to DOR's e-services portal, the Indiana Taxpayer Information Management Engine (INTIME), at intime.dor.in.gov. If you expect to have income during the tax year that: • Will not have Indiana tax withheld, or • If you think the amount withheld will not be enough to pay your tax liability, and • You expect to owe more than $1,000 when you file your tax return, then you should pay estimated tax. Use the worksheet below to determine how much you'll owe. The first installment payment is due April 15, 2026. The remaining three payments are due June 15 and Sept. 15, 2026, and Jan. 15, 2027. Use this form to make an estimated tax payment. We suggest that first-time estimated income taxpayers make a copy of the blank form. This is in case the vouchers that are automatically issued (after we receive your first payment) don't get to you by the next payment's due date. For more information about estimated tax, get Income Tax Information Bulletin #3 at www.in.gov/dor/files/ib03.pdf. Pay the amount due on or before the installment due date. Enclose your check or money order made payable to the Indiana Department of Revenue. Write your Social Security number on the check or money order. Note: All payments must be made with U.S. funds. You can also make your estimated tax payment online via INTIME at intime.dor.in.gov. Note. Do Not mail Form ES-40 if paying by credit card or eCheck.
