# WHAT ARE ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENTS

A corporation is required to make estimated tax payments for the taxable year if its Kansas income tax liability can reasonably be expected to exceed $500. A corporation is not required to file a declaration of estimated tax in its first year of existence in Kansas.

# WHEN TO FILE YOUR ESTIMATED TAX VOUCHERS

Corporate estimated tax vouchers are due on or before the 15th day of the fourth, sixth, ninth, and twelfth months of the corporate taxable year without any regard to an extension of time to file for the prior year's income tax return.
SHORT TAXABLE YEARS: Any estimated tax, payable in installments, not paid before the 15th day of the last month of a short taxable year (less than 12 months) must be paid on the 15th day of the last month of the short taxable year. If the short taxable year is less than three and one-half months, an estimated voucher and tax payment are not required.
When the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, substitute the next regular workday.

# HOW TO FILE YOUR ESTIMATED TAX

To ensure the most efficient processing of your payments, it is important that you use only black ink to complete the vouchers.

  1. Complete the enclosed worksheet to calculate your estimated tax for tax year 2026.
  2. Be sure to use the correct voucher for the quarter in which you are remitting payment. Enter all required information, including the amount of your payment.

# ESTIMATED TAX PENALTY

If you do not pay enough estimated tax, a penalty may be charged unless you meet one of the exceptions. Use Schedule K-220 for K-120 filers or K-220S for Partnerships or S Corporations to figure any underpayment of estimated tax, to determine if you meet an exception to the penalty, and to figure any penalty due. The penalty is based on the unpaid balance of estimated tax from the due date of the installment to: 1) the date the installment was paid, or 2) the original due date of the return, whichever is earlier.
Underpayment of tax means the difference between the amount of tax actually paid and the amount of tax which would have been required to be paid to avoid penalty.
Schedule K-220 and K-220S are available from the department's website at: ksrevenue.gov.

# AMENDED PAYMENTS

If you missed a payment or if you made a mistake which caused an underpayment in earlier installments, make an immediate payment to balance your account. The amendment of a voucher will not prevent imposition of a penalty on the previous installments.
