2026 Form MO-1040ES Declaration Of Estimated Tax For Individuals - General Instructions 1 . Filing requirements - You are required to file a declaration of estimated tax if your Missouri estimated tax is expected to be $100 .00 or more (Section 143.521.1, RSMo) . 2 . Missouri estimated tax - Your Missouri estimated tax is the amount estimated to be the income tax under Chapter 143 RSMo, for the tax year, less the amount which you estimate to be the sum of any credits allowable, including tax withheld . 3 . Farmers - If you have an estimated Missouri gross income from farming for the tax year that equals at least two-thirds of the total estimated Missouri gross income, you may file a declaration of estimated tax and make payment at any time on or before January 15, or file an income tax return and pay in full on or before March 1 . 4 . Payment of estimated tax - Your estimated tax may be paid in full with the first declaration voucher, or in equal installments on or before April 15, June 15, Sep tem ber 15, and January 15 . If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the voucher will be considered timely if filed on the next business day . The first installment must accompany the first declaration voucher . If no declaration was required to be filed during the tax year, no declaration need be filed on January 15, if you file a voucher and pay the tax on or before January 31 . 5 . Nonresident - If you are a nonresident, your estimated tax requirement is the same as a resident . A nonresident's tax is based on the proportion of the adjusted gross income from Missouri sources . Example: An individual has Missouri tax of $400 on all income, with 90% of the adjusted gross income from Missouri; the Missouri estimated tax is $360 (90% of $400) . 6 . Changes in income - Even if your Missouri estimated tax on April 15 is such that you are not required to file a declaration at that time, the Missouri estimated tax may change so that you will be required to file at a later date . The time for filing is as follows: June 15, if the change occurs after April 15, and before June 15, September 15, if the change occurs after June 15, but before September 15, January 15, if the change occurs after September 15 . If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the voucher will be considered timely if filed on the next business day . 7 . Amended declaration - If, after you have filed a declaration, you find the Missouri estimated tax substantially increased or de creased as a result of a change in income, an amended declaration should be filed on or before the next filing date . Please complete the Amended Estimated Tax Worksheet and show the amended Missouri estimated tax on Line 1 of the next Form MO-1040ES filed . 8 . Addition to tax for failure to pay estimated tax - The law provides an addition to tax, determined at the present applicable rate of interest from the date of the first installment underpaid . Interest will be charged on all delinquent payments . Visit /mytax.mo.gov/rptp/portal/home/addition-tax-int-calculator for the current interest rate . The charge does not apply to you if each installment is paid on time and the total amount of all payments of estimated tax made on or before the last date prescribed for payment of such installment equals or exceeds: a) the tax shown on the pre ceding year's return if that return was for a 12 month period and showed a tax liability; or b) 90% (66 2/3% in the case of a farmer) of the total amount due for the current year . 9 . Rounding on Missouri returns -You must round all cents to the nearest whole dollar on your return . For cents .01 through .49, round down to the previous whole dollar amount (round $32 .49 down to $32 .00) on the return . For cents .50 through .99, round up to the next whole dollar amount (round $32 .50 up to $33 .00) on the return . For your convenience, the zeros have already been placed in the cent columns on the returns . Go to mytax.mo.gov/rptp/portal/home/indiv-income-tax-calculator/ and enter your taxable income for assistance in calculating your tax . Form MO-1040ES Tax Rate Chart Use the amount from Line 9 (Missouri taxable income) to calculate your Missouri tax . If you are filing combined, you must calculate separate tax amounts and enter the amounts on 10Y for yourself and 10S for your spouse . The total amount should be entered on Line 10T . Single filers should enter the tax amount on Line 10T . *2200000001* If the Missouri taxable income is: The tax is: $0 to $1,348 $0 Over $1,348 but not over $2,696 2 . 0% of excess over $1,348 Over $2,696 but not over $4,044 $27 plus 2 . 5% of excess over $2,696 Over $4,044 but not over $5,392 $61 plus 3 . 0% of excess over $4,044 Over $5,392 but not over $6,740 $101 plus 3 . 5% of excess over $5,392 Over $6,740 but not over $8,088 $148 plus 4 . 0% of excess over $6,740 Over $8,088 but not over $9,436 $202 plus 4 . 5% of excess over $8,088 Over $9,436 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $263 plus 4 . 7% of excess over $9,436 • Example 1: If line 9 is $4,000, the tax would be computed as follows: $27 + $32 . 60 (2 . 5% of $1,304) = $59 . 60 The whole dollar to enter on Line 10 would be $60 . • Example 2: If Line 9 is $12,300, the tax would be computed as follows: $263 + $134 . 61 (4 . 7% of $2,864) = $397 . 61 .
