Form 1040-ES
Estimated Tax for Individuals

Purpose of This Package

Special Rules

Use this package to figure and pay your estimated tax. If
you are not required to make estimated tax payments for
2013, you can discard this package.
Estimated tax is the method used to pay tax on income
that is not subject to withholding (for example, earnings
from self-employment, interest, dividends, rents, alimony,
etc.). In addition, if you do not elect voluntary withholding,
you should make estimated tax payments on other
taxable income, such as unemployment compensation
and the taxable part of your social security benefits.
Change of address. If your address has changed, file
Form 8822, Change of Address, to update your record.
Future developments. For the latest information about
developments related to Form 1040-ES and its
instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were
published, go to www.irs.gov/form1040es.

Who Must Make Estimated Tax
Payments

Farmers and fishermen. If at least two-thirds of your
gross income for 2012 or 2013 is from farming or fishing,
substitute 662 3% for 90% in (2a) under General Rule.
Household employers. When estimating the tax on your
2013 tax return, include your household employment
taxes if either of the following applies.
You will have federal income tax withheld from wages,
pensions, annuities, gambling winnings, or other income.
You would be required to make estimated tax payments
to avoid a penalty even if you did not include household
employment taxes when figuring your estimated tax.
Higher income taxpayers. If your adjusted gross
income (AGI) for 2012 was more than $150,000 ($75,000
if your filing status for 2013 is married filing separately),
substitute 110% for 100% in (2b) under General Rule,
earlier. This rule does not apply to farmers or fishermen.

Increase Your Withholding

The estimated tax rules apply to:
U.S. citizens and resident aliens;
Residents of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, and American Samoa; and
Nonresident aliens (use Form 1040-ES (NR)).

If you also receive salaries and wages, you may be able to
avoid having to make estimated tax payments on your
other income by asking your employer to take more tax
out of your earnings. To do this, file a new Form W-4,
Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate, with your
employer.

General Rule

In most cases, you must pay estimated tax for 2013 if both
of the following apply.
1. You expect to owe at least $1,000 in tax for 2013,
after subtracting your withholding and refundable credits.
2. You expect your withholding and refundable credits
to be less than the smaller of:
a. 90% of the tax to be shown on your 2013 tax return,
or
b. 100% of the tax shown on your 2012 tax return.
Your 2012 tax return must cover all 12 months.
Note. These percentages may be different if you are a
farmer, fisherman, or higher income taxpayer. See
Special Rules, later.
Exception. You do not have to pay estimated tax for
2013 if you were a U.S. citizen or resident alien for all of
2012 and you had no tax liability for the full 12-month
2012 tax year. You had no tax liability for 2012 if your total
tax was zero or you did not have to file an income tax
return.

Feb 28, 2013

There are special rules for farmers, fishermen, certain
household employers, and certain higher income
taxpayers.

Generally, if you receive a pension or annuity you can
use Form W-4P, Withholding Certificate for Pension or
Annuity Payments, to start or change your withholding
from these payments.
You also can choose to have federal income tax
withheld from certain government payments. For details,
see Form W-4V, Voluntary Withholding Request.

applies to Medicare wages, Railroad Retirement Tax Act
compensation, and self-employment income over a
threshold amount based on your filing status. You may
need to include this amount when figuring your estimated
tax. See the instructions for line 12 of the 2013 Estimated

were a dual-status alien and you do not elect to
be taxed as a resident alien for 2013.

Net Investment Income Tax. For tax years beginning
after December 31, 2012, you may be subject to Net
Investment Income Tax (NIIT). NIIT is a 3.8% tax on the
lesser of net investment income or the excess of your
modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) over the
threshold amount. NIIT may need to be included when
figuring your estimated tax. See the instructions for line 12
of the 2013 Estimated Tax Worksheet and Pub. 505. For
more information on Net Investment Income Tax, go to
www.IRS.gov and enter “Net Investment Income Tax” in
the search box.

Personal exemption amount increased for certain
taxpayers. For tax years beginning in 2013, the personal
exemption amount is increased to $3,900 for taxpayers
with adjusted gross income at or below $300,000 if
married filing jointly or qualifying widow(er), $275,000 if
head of household, $250,000 if single, and $150,000 if
married filing separately. The personal exemption amount
for taxpayers with adjusted gross income above these
thresholds may be reduced.

Medical and dental expenses. Beginning January 1,
2013, you can deduct only the part of your medical and
dental expenses that exceed 10% of your adjusted gross
income (7.5% if either you or your spouse is age 65 or
older).

Alternative minimum tax (AMT) exemption amounts.
The AMT exemption is increased to $51,900 ($80,800 if
married filing jointly or a qualifying widow(er) with
dependent child; $40,400 if married filing separately). In
addition, nonrefundable credits are allowed against AMT.

Income limits for excluding education savings bond
interest increased. In order to exclude interest, your
modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) must be less than
$89,700 ($142,050 if married filing jointly or qualifying
widow(er)).

Limitation on itemized deductions. Beginning in 2013,
itemized deductions for taxpayers with adjusted gross
income above $300,000 if married filing jointly or
qualifying widow(er), $275,000 if head of household,
$250,000 if single, and $150,000 if married filing
separately may be reduced.

Foreign earned income exclusion. The maximum
exclusion has increased to $97,600.

Earned income credit (EIC). You may be able to take
the EIC if:
Three or more children lived with you and you earned
less than $46,227 ($51,567 if married filing jointly),
Two children lived with you and you earned less than
$43,038 ($48,378 if married filing jointly),
One child lived with you and you earned less than
$37,870 ($43,210 if married filing jointly), or
A child did not live with you and you earned less than
$14,340 ($19,680 if married filing jointly).
Also, the maximum AGI you can have and still get the
credit has changed. You may be able to take the credit if
your AGI is less than the amount in the above list that
applies to you. The maximum investment income you can
have and get the credit has increased to $3,300.

Standard deduction. If you do not itemize your
deductions, you can take the 2013 standard deduction
listed in the following chart for your filing status.
IF your 2013 filing status is...
Married filing jointly or
Qualifying widow(er)

THEN your standard
deduction is...

However, if you can be claimed as a dependent on
another person's 2013 return, your standard deduction is
the greater of:
$1,000, or
Your earned income plus $350 (up to the standard
deduction amount).
Your standard deduction is increased by the following
amount if, at the end of 2013, you are:
An unmarried individual (single or head of household)
and are:

Standard mileage rate. The rate for business use of

* You do not have to make the payment due January 15,
2014, if you file your 2013 tax return by January 31, 2014,
and pay the entire balance due with your return.

Adoption credit and adoption assistance. Beginning
in 2013, the maximum adoption credit will be $12,970 and
the credit is not refundable. The maximum amount of
adoption assistance that can be excluded from gross
income is $12,970. The amount of the credit or excludable
assistance begins to phase out for taxpayers with
modified AGI in excess of $194,580 and is completely
phased out for taxpayers with modified AGI of $234,580.

If you mail your payment and it is postmarked by the
due date, the date of the U.S. postmark is considered the
date of payment. If your payments are late or you did not
pay enough, you may be charged a penalty for
underpaying your tax. See When a Penalty Is Applied,
later.
If you want, you can make more than four
estimated tax payments. To do so, make a copy
of one of your unused estimated tax payment
vouchers, fill it in, and mail it with your payment. If you
make more than four payments, to avoid a penalty, make
sure the total of the amounts you pay during a payment
period is at least as much as the amount required to be
paid by the due date for that period. For other payment
methods, see How To Pay Estimated Tax, later.

Lifetime learning credit. In order to claim a lifetime
learning credit, your modified AGI must be less than
$63,000 ($127,000 if married filing jointly).

TIP

Capital gains and dividend rates. For tax year 2013,
your capital gains and dividends rate will depend on your
income.

How To Figure Your Estimated Tax

You will need:
The 2013 Estimated Tax Worksheet,
The Instructions for the 2013 Estimated Tax
Worksheet,
The 2013 Tax Rate Schedules, and
Your 2012 tax return and instructions to use as a guide
to figuring your income, deductions, and credits (but be
sure to consider the items listed under What's New,
earlier).

No income subject to estimated tax during first payment period. If, after March 31, 2013, you have a large
change in income, deductions, additional taxes, or credits
that requires you to start making estimated tax payments,
you should figure the amount of your estimated tax
payments by using the annualized income installment
method, explained in chapter 2 of Pub. 505. If you use the
annualized income installment method, file Form 2210,
Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals, Estates,
and Trusts, including Schedule AI, with your 2013 tax
return even if no penalty is owed.

Matching estimated tax payments to income. If you
receive your income unevenly throughout the year (for
example, because you operate your business on a
seasonal basis or you have a large capital gain late in the
year), you may be able to lower or eliminate the amount of
your required estimated tax payment for one or more
periods by using the annualized income installment
method. See chapter 2 of Pub. 505 for details.

Farmers and fishermen. If at least two-thirds of your
gross income for 2012 or 2013 is from farming or fishing,
you can do one of the following.
Pay all of your estimated tax by January 15, 2014.
File your 2013 Form 1040 by March 3, 2014, and pay
the total tax due. In this case, 2013 estimated tax
payments are not required to avoid a penalty.

Changing your estimated tax. To amend or correct
your estimated tax, see How To Amend Estimated Tax
Payments, later.

Fiscal year taxpayers. You are on a fiscal year if your
12-month tax period ends on any day except December
31. Due dates for fiscal year taxpayers are the 15th day of
the 4th, 6th, and 9th months of your current fiscal year and
the 1st month of the following fiscal year. If any payment
date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, use the
next business day.

You cannot make joint estimated tax payments if
you or your spouse is a nonresident alien, you are
CAUTION
separated under a decree of divorce or separate
maintenance, or you and your spouse have different tax
years.

Name Change

Additionally, registered domestic partners and same-sex
spouses cannot make joint estimated tax payments. Each
partner can take credit only for the estimated tax
payments that he or she made.

If you changed your name because of marriage, divorce,
etc., and you made estimated tax payments using your
former name, attach a statement to the front of your 2013
tax return. On the statement, show all of the estimated tax
payments you (and your spouse, if filing jointly) made for
2013 and the name(s) and SSN(s) under which you made
the payments.

Payment Due Dates

You can pay all of your estimated tax by April 15, 2013, or
in four equal amounts by the dates shown below.

Be sure to report the change to your local Social
Security Administration office before filing your 2013 tax
return. This prevents delays in processing your return and
issuing refunds. It also safeguards your future social

How To Amend Estimated Tax
Payments

To change or amend your estimated tax payments,
refigure your total estimated tax payments due (line 16a of
the 2013 Estimated Tax Worksheet). Then, to figure the
payment due for each remaining payment period, see
Amended estimated tax in chapter 2 of Pub. 505. If an
estimated tax payment for a previous period is less than
one-fourth of your amended estimated tax, you may owe a
penalty when you file your return.

When a Penalty Is Applied

For the latest details on how to pay by phone, go to
www.irs.gov/e-pay.

In some cases, you may owe a penalty when you file your
return. The penalty is imposed on each underpayment for
the number of days it remains unpaid. A penalty may be
applied if you did not pay enough estimated tax for the
year or you did not make the payments on time or in the
required amount. A penalty may apply even if you have an
overpayment on your tax return.

Pay by Check or Money Order Using the
Estimated Tax Payment Voucher

There is a separate estimated tax payment voucher for
each due date. The due date is shown in the upper right
corner. Complete and send in the voucher only if you are
making a payment by check or money order. If you and
your spouse plan to file separate returns, file separate
vouchers instead of a joint voucher.

The penalty may be waived under certain conditions.
See chapter 4 of Pub. 505 for details.

How To Pay Estimated Tax

To complete the voucher, do the following.
Print or type your name, address, and SSN in the space
provided on the estimated tax payment voucher. If filing a
joint voucher, also enter your spouse's name and SSN.
List the names and SSNs in the same order on the joint
voucher as you will list them on your joint return.
Enter in the box provided on the estimated tax payment
voucher only the amount you are sending in by check or
money order. When making payments of estimated tax,
be sure to take into account any 2012 overpayment that
you choose to credit against your 2013 tax, but do not
include the overpayment amount in this box.
Make your check or money order payable to “United
States Treasury.” Do not send cash. To help process your
payment accurately, enter the amount on the right side of
the check like this: $ XXX.XX. Do not use dashes or lines
(for example, do not enter “$ XXX—” or
“$ XXX xx 100”).
Enter “2013 Form 1040-ES” and your SSN on your
check or money order. If you are filing a joint estimated tax
payment voucher, enter the SSN that you will show first on
your joint return.
Enclose, but do not staple or attach, your payment with
the estimated tax payment voucher.

sure we get your payments on time. You can pay using

Instructions for the 2013 Estimated
Tax Worksheet

Line 12. Other taxes. Use the Instructions for the 2012
Form 1040 to determine if you expect to owe, for 2013,
any of the taxes that would have been entered on your
2012 Form 1040, lines 58 (additional tax on distributions
only), 59a, 59b, and 60. Take into consideration additional
taxes for 2013, such as the Additional Medicare Tax and
the Net Investment Income Tax. On line 12, enter the total
of those taxes, subject to the following two exceptions.
Exception 1. Include household employment taxes
from Form 1040, line 59a, on this line only if:
You will have federal income tax withheld from wages,
pensions, annuities, gambling winnings, or other income,
or
You would be required to make estimated tax payments
(to avoid a penalty) even if you did not include household
employment taxes when figuring your estimated tax.
If you meet either of the above, include the total of your
household employment taxes on line 12.
Exception 2. Of the amounts for other taxes that may
be entered on Form 1040, line 60, do not include on
line 12: recapture of a federal mortgage subsidy,

the items listed under What's New, earlier). For more
details on figuring your adjusted gross income, see
Expected AGI—Line 1 in chapter 2 of Pub. 505.
If you are self-employed, be sure to take into account
the deduction for self-employment tax. Use the 2013

1 and 11 of the Estimated Tax Worksheet to figure the
amount to subtract when figuring your expected AGI. This
worksheet also will give you the amount to enter on line 11
of your estimated tax worksheet.

If you did not file a return for 2012 or your 2012 tax year
was less than 12 full months, do not complete line 14b.
Instead, enter the amount from line 14a on line 14c.
Figuring your 2012 tax. Use the following instructions
to figure your 2012 tax.
1. Form 1040—The tax shown on your 2012 Form
1040 is the amount on line 61 reduced by:
a. Unreported social security and Medicare tax or
RRTA tax from Form 1040, line 57;
b. Any tax included on line 58 on excess contributions
to IRAs, Archer MSAs, Coverdell education savings
accounts, and health savings accounts, or on excess
accumulations in qualified retirement plans;
c. Amounts on line 60 as listed under Exception 2,
earlier; and
d. Any refundable credit amounts on lines 64a, 65, 66,
and 70, and credits from Forms 8801 and 8885 included
on line 71.
2. Form 1040A—The tax shown on your 2012 Form
1040A is the amount on line 35 reduced by any
refundable credits on lines 38a, 39, and 40.
3. Form 1040EZ—The tax shown on your 2012 Form
1040EZ is the amount on line 10 reduced by the amount
on line 8a.

Medicare wages and self-employment income are
combined to determine if your income exceeds the
threshold. A self-employment loss should not be
considered for purposes of this tax. RRTA compensation
should be separately compared to the threshold. Your
employer is responsible for withholding the 0.9%
Additional Medicare Tax on Medicare wages or RRTA
compensation it pays to you in excess of $200,000 in
2013. You should consider this withholding, if applicable,
in determining whether you need to make an estimated
payment.
Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT). The NIIT is 3.8%
of the lesser of your net investment income or the excess
of your modified adjusted gross income over the amount
listed in the following chart, based on your filing status.

Recapture of first-time homebuyer credit. If you
purchased a home in 2008 and claimed the first-time
homebuyer credit, repayment of that credit began with
your 2010 tax return and will continue until the credit is
fully repaid. If the home ceases to be your main home,
then the unpaid balance of the credit is to be repaid on the
return for the year when the home was no longer your
main home.
