Part III Short Method
Can You Use the
Short Method?

You may use the short method if:
• You made no estimated tax payments (or your only payments were withheld
federal income tax), or
• You paid the same amount of estimated tax on each of the four payment
due dates.

You must use the regular method (Part IV) instead of the short method if:
• You made any estimated tax payments late,
• You checked box C or D in Part II, or
• You are filing Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ and you did not receive wages
as an employee subject to U.S. income tax withholding.
Note: If any payment was made earlier than the due date, you may use the short method, but using it may cause you to pay a
larger penalty than the regular method. If the payment was only a few days early, the difference is likely to be small.

Regular Method?
