Instructions for Form 2210

Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service

Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals, Estates, and Trusts
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise
noted.

The IRS Will Figure the Penalty for
You

Future Developments

For the latest information about developments related to Form 2210 and
its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go
to IRS.gov/Form2210.

Reminders
Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. Generally, if a due date for
performing any act for tax purposes falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal
holiday, the act is considered to be performed timely if it's performed no
later than the next day that isn't a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. A
legal holiday includes any legal holiday in the District of Columbia. These
instructions make the adjustment for Saturdays, Sundays, and federal
legal holidays.
Additional Medicare Tax. A 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax applies to
Medicare wages, railroad retirement act (RRTA) compensation, and
self-employment income over a threshold amount based on your filing
status. See Form 8959.
Net Investment Income Tax. You may be subject to Net Investment
Income Tax (NIIT). NIIT is a 3.8% (0.038) tax on the lesser of net
investment income or the excess of your modified adjusted gross
income over a threshold amount. See Form 8960.
Premium tax credit. You may be eligible to claim the premium tax
credit (PTC). The PTC is a tax credit for certain people who enroll, or
whose family member enrolls, in a qualified health plan offered through a
Health Insurance Marketplace (also called an Exchange). The PTC
provides financial assistance to pay the premiums by reducing the
amount of tax you owe, giving you a refund, or increasing your refund
amount. Advance payment of the PTC may be made through the
Marketplace directly to your insurance provider. If you received premium
assistance through advance payments of the PTC in 2022, and the
amount advanced exceeded the amount of PTC you can take, you could
be subject to a penalty for underpaying your estimated tax. For example,
you completed Form 8962, Premium Tax Credit, and have additional
income tax liability because too much was advanced to your insurance
provider. For more information about the PTC and advance payments of
the PTC, see Form 8962 and Pub. 974.
Forms for the qualified business income deductions. See Form
8995-A, Qualified Business Income Deduction, or Form 8995, Qualified
Business Income Deduction Simplified Computation, and their separate
instructions for information about your qualified business income
deduction.
Tax Withholding Estimator. To determine adjustments to your
withholdings, go to the Tax Withholding Estimator at IRS.gov/W4App.

Purpose of Form

Use Form 2210 to see if you owe a penalty for underpaying your
estimated tax. The IRS will generally figure your penalty for you and you
should not file Form 2210. You can, however, use Form 2210 to figure
your penalty if you wish and include the penalty on your return. There are
some situations in which you must file Form 2210, such as to request a
waiver.
Use the flowchart at the top of Form 2210, page 1, to see if you must file
this form.

Oct 11, 2022

If box B, C, or D in Part II is checked, you must figure the penalty
yourself and attach Form 2210 to your return.

CAUTION

General Instructions

Who Must File Form 2210

!

If you didn't check box B, C, or D in Part II, you don't need to figure the
penalty. The IRS will figure any penalty for underpayment of estimated
tax and send you a bill. If you file your return by April 17, 2023, no
interest will be charged on the penalty if you pay the penalty by the date
shown on the bill. If you want us to figure the penalty for you, complete
your return as usual. Leave the penalty line on your return blank; don't
file Form 2210.

Other Methods of Figuring the
Penalty

There are different ways to figure the correct penalty. You don't have to
use the method used on Form 2210 as long as you enter the correct
penalty amount on the “Estimated tax penalty” line on your return.
However, if you’re required to file Form 2210 because one or more of
the boxes in Part II applies, you must complete certain lines and enter
the penalty on the “Estimated tax penalty” line on your return.
• If you use the regular method, complete Part I; check the applicable
box(es) in Part II; and complete Part III, Section A, and the penalty
worksheet (Worksheet for Form 2210, Part III, Section B—Figure
the Penalty), later. Enter the penalty on Form 2210, line 19, and on
the “Estimated tax penalty” line on your tax return.
• If you use the annualized income installment method, complete Part
I; check the applicable box(es) in Part II; and complete Schedule AI
and Part III, Section A. Complete the penalty worksheet (Worksheet
for Form 2210, Part III, Section B—Figure the Penalty), later. Enter
the penalty on Form 2210, line 19, and on the “Estimated tax
penalty” line on your tax return.

Who Must Pay the
Underpayment Penalty

In general, you may owe the penalty for 2022 if the total of your
withholding and timely estimated tax payments didn't equal at least the
smaller of:
1. 90% of your 2022 tax, or
2. 100% of your 2021 tax. Your 2021 tax return must cover a
12-month period.
Special rules for certain individuals. Different percentages are used
for farmers and fishermen, and certain higher income taxpayers.
Farmers and fishermen. If at least two-thirds of your gross income
for 2021 or 2022 is from farming and fishing, substitute 662/3% for 90% in
(1) above. See Farmers and fishermen, later, to see if you qualify.
Higher income taxpayers. If your adjusted gross income (AGI) for
2021 was more than $150,000 ($75,000 if your 2021 filing status was
married filing separately), substitute 110% for 100% in (2) above.
Penalty figured separately for each required payment. The penalty
is figured separately for each installment due date. Therefore, you may
owe the penalty for an earlier due date even if you paid enough tax later
to make up the underpayment. This is true even if you’re due a refund
when you file your tax return. However, you may be able to reduce or
eliminate the penalty by using the annualized income installment
method. For details, see Schedule AI Annualized Income Installment
Method, later.
Return. In these instructions, “return” refers to your original return.
However, a second, subsequent, or amended return filed by the due

The IRS will review the information you provide and decide whether
to grant your request for a waiver.

date (including extensions) of the original return is a “superseding” return
and is considered as if it were the original return. The first return filed is
ignored to the extent it was changed by the superseding return. Also, a
joint return that replaces previously filed separate returns is considered
the original return.

Federally declared disaster. Certain estimated tax payment deadlines
for taxpayers who reside or have a business in a federally declared
disaster area are postponed for a period during and after the disaster.
During the processing of your tax return, the IRS automatically identifies
taxpayers located in a covered disaster area (by county or parish) and
applies the appropriate penalty relief. Don't file Form 2210 if your
underpayment was due to a federally declared disaster. If you still owe a
penalty after the automatic waiver is applied, the IRS will send you a bill.

Exceptions to the Penalty
You won't have to pay the penalty or file this form if either of the following
applies.
• You had no tax liability for 2021, you were a U.S. citizen or resident
alien for the entire year (or an estate of a domestic decedent or a
domestic trust), and your 2021 tax return was (or would have been
had you been required to file) for a full 12 months.
• The total tax shown on your 2022 return minus the amount of tax
you paid through withholding is less than $1,000. To determine
whether the total tax is less than $1,000, complete Part I, lines 1
through 7.

An individual or a fiduciary for an estate or trust not in a covered
disaster area but whose books, records, or tax professionals' offices are
in a covered area is also entitled to relief. Also eligible are relief workers
affiliated with a recognized government or charitable organization
assisting in the relief activities in a covered disaster area. If you meet
either of these eligibility requirements, you must call the IRS disaster
hotline at 866-562-5227 and identify yourself as eligible for this relief. For
information about claiming relief, see IRS.gov/DisasterTaxRelief. For
more information on disaster assistance and emergency relief for
individuals and businesses, see IRS.gov/DisasterRelief. See Pub. 976,
Disaster Relief, for more details. For guidance on figuring estimated
taxes for trusts and certain estates, see Notice 87-32, 1987-1 C.B. 477.

Estates and trusts. No penalty applies to either of the following.
• A decedent's estate for any tax year ending before the date that is 2
years after the decedent's death.
• A trust that was treated as owned by the decedent if the trust will
receive the residue of the decedent's estate under the will (or if no
will is admitted to probate, the trust primarily responsible for paying
debts, taxes, and expenses of administration) for any tax year
ending before the date that is 2 years after the decedent's death.

Specific Instructions
Part I—Required Annual Payment

Farmers and fishermen. If you meet both tests 1 and 2 below, you
don't owe a penalty for underpaying estimated tax.

Complete lines 1 through 9 to figure your required annual payment.

1. Your gross income from farming or fishing is at least two-thirds of
your annual gross income from all sources for 2021 or 2022.

If you file an amended return by the due date of your original return,
use the amounts shown on your amended return to figure your
underpayment. If you file an amended return after the due date, use the
amounts shown on the original return.

2. You filed Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1041 and paid the entire tax due
by March 1, 2023.
See chapter 2 of Pub. 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax, for
the definition of gross income from farming and fishing.

Exception. If you and your spouse file a joint return after the due date to
replace previously filed separate returns, use the amounts shown on the
joint return to figure your underpayment.

If you meet test 1 but not test 2, use Form 2210-F, Underpayment of
Estimated Tax by Farmers and Fishermen, to see if you owe a penalty.
When using Form 2210-F, refer to the Instructions for Form 2210-F,
which discuss special rules that may apply. If you don't meet test 1, use
Form 2210.

Line 1
Enter the amount from Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR, line 22. For an
estate or trust, enter the amount from Form 1041, Schedule G, line 3.

Waiver of Penalty

!

If you have an underpayment, all or part of the penalty for that
underpayment will be waived if the IRS determines that:
• In 2021 or 2022, you retired after reaching age 62 or became
disabled, and your underpayment was due to reasonable cause
(and not willful neglect); or
• The underpayment was due to a casualty, disaster, or other unusual
circumstance, and it would be inequitable to impose the penalty.
For federally declared disaster areas, see Federally declared
disaster, later.

CAUTION

Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1041 filers: You may exclude the
amount of your net tax liability under section 965 when
calculating the amount of your required annual payment.

Line 2
Enter the total of the following amounts.

To request any of the above waivers, do the following.
1. Check box A or box B in Part II, as applicable.
a. If you checked box A, complete only page 1 of Form 2210 and
attach it to your tax return (you aren't required to figure the
amount of penalty to be waived).
b. If you checked box B, complete Form 2210 through line 18
without regard to the waiver. Enter the amount you want
waived in parentheses on the dotted line next to line 19.
Subtract this amount from the total penalty you figured without
regard to the waiver, and enter the result on line 19 .
2. Attach Form 2210 and a statement to your return explaining the
reasons you were unable to meet the estimated tax requirements
and the time period for which you are requesting a waiver.
3. If you’re requesting a waiver due to retirement or disability, attach
documentation that shows your retirement date (and your age on
that date) or the date you became disabled.
4. If you’re requesting a waiver due to a casualty, disaster (other than
a federally declared disaster, as discussed next), or other unusual
circumstance, attach documentation such as copies of police and
insurance company reports.

Table 1—List your estimated tax payments for 2022. Before
completing line 11, enter in Table 1 the payments you made for 2022.
Include the following payments.
• Any overpayment from your 2021 return applied to your 2022
estimated tax payments. Generally, treat the payment as made on
April 15, 2022.
• Estimated tax payments you made for the 2022 tax year, plus any
federal income tax and excess social security and RRTA tax
withheld.
• Any payment made on your balance due return for 2022. Use the
date you filed (or will file) your return or April 15, 2023, whichever is
earlier, as the payment date for these purposes.

Table 1. Estimated Tax Payments
Date

Enter the 2021 tax you figured above unless the AGI on your 2021
return is more than $150,000 ($75,000 if married filing separately for
2022). If the AGI shown on your 2021 tax return is more than $150,000
($75,000 if married filing separately), enter 110% of the amount of the
tax computed earlier.
If you are filing a joint return for 2022, but you didn't file a joint return
for 2021, add your 2021 tax (as figured earlier) to your spouse's 2021 tax
(as figured earlier) and enter the total on line 8. If you file a separate
return for 2022, but you filed a joint return with your spouse for 2021,
your 2021 tax is your share of the tax on the joint return. You are filing a
separate return if you file as single, head of household, or married filing
separately. If you didn't file a return for 2021 or your 2021 tax year was
less than 12 months, don't complete line 8. Instead, enter the amount
from line 5 on line 9. However, see Exceptions to the Penalty, earlier.

15, 2022.
• Column (c)—payments you made after June 15, 2022, through
September 15, 2022.
• Column (d)—payments you made after September 15, 2022,
through January 15, 2023.

Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1041 filers: You may exclude the
amount of your net tax liability under section 965 when
CAUTION calculating the amount of your maximum required annual
payment based on your prior year's tax.

!

When figuring your payment dates and the amounts to enter on
line 11 of each column, apply the following rules.
• For withheld federal income tax and excess social security or tier 1
RRTA, you are considered to have paid one-fourth of these
amounts on each payment due date unless you can show
otherwise. You’ll find these amounts on the following lines.
° Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 25d;
° Form 1040-NR, lines 25d, 25e, 25f, and 25g;
° Also, Schedule 3 (Form 1040), line 11, if you filed the above
forms;
° Form 1041, Schedule G, line 14.

Part III—Penalty Computation

If you checked box C in Part II, complete Schedule AI before Part III.
Form 1040-NR filers. If you’re filing Form 1040-NR and didn't receive
wages as an employee subject to U.S. income tax withholding, the
instructions for completing Part III are modified as follows.
1. Skip column (a).
2. On line 10, column (b), enter one-half of the amount on line 9 of
Part I (unless you’re using the annualized income installment
method).

!

3. On line 11, column (b), enter the total tax payments made through
June 15, 2022, for the 2022 tax year. If you’re treating federal
income tax (and excess social security or tier 1 RRTA) as having
been withheld evenly throughout the year, you’re considered to
have paid one-third of these amounts on each payment due date.

CAUTION

If you treat withholding as paid for estimated tax purposes
when it was actually withheld, you must check box D in Part
II and complete and attach Form 2210 to your return.

• Include all estimated tax payments you made for each period.

Include any overpayment from your 2021 tax return you elected to
apply to your 2022 estimated tax. If your 2021 return was fully paid
before April 15, 2022, treat the overpayment as a payment made on
April 15, 2022. If you mail your estimated tax payments, use the
date of the U.S. postmark as the date of payment.
• If an overpayment is generated on your 2021 return from a payment
made after April 15, 2022, treat the payment as made on the date of
payment. For example, you paid $500 due on your 2021 return on
August 1, 2022, and later amended the return and were due a $400
refund which you elected to have applied to your estimated taxes.
The $400 overpayment would be treated as paid on August 1.
• If you file your return and pay the tax due by January 31, 2023,
include on line 11, column (d), the amount of tax you pay with your
tax return. In this case, you won't owe a penalty for the payment due
on January 15, 2023.

Section A—Figure Your Underpayment
Line 10
Enter on line 10, columns (a) through (d), the amount of your required
installment for the due date shown in each column heading.
For most taxpayers, this is one-fourth of the required annual payment
shown on Part I, line 9.
However, it may be to your benefit to figure your required installments
by using the annualized income installment method. See the
Schedule AI Annualized Income Installment Method instructions, later.

Example 1. You filed your 2021 tax return on August 1, 2022,
showing a $2,000 refund. You elected to have $1,000 of your 2021
overpayment applied to your 2022 estimated tax payments. In
2022, you had $4,000 of federal income tax withheld from wages.
You also made $500 estimated tax payments on September 15,
2022, and January 15, 2023. On line 11, column (a), enter $3,000
($2,000 withholding + $1,000 overpayment). In columns (c) and (d),
enter $1,500 ($1,000 withholding + $500 estimated tax payment).

installment. The penalty for the April 15 installment is figured from April
15 to June 10 (56 days). The amount remaining to be applied to the June
15 installment is $700.

If line 17 is zero for all payment periods, you don't owe a penalty. But if
you checked box C or D in Part II, you must file Form 2210 with your
return. If you checked box E, you must file page 1 of Form 2210 with your
return. In certain circumstances, the IRS will waive all or part of the
underpayment penalty. See Waiver of Penalty, earlier.

Section A, line 17. The penalty is figured for the number of days that
each underpayment remains unpaid.

Rate Period

Your payments are applied first to any underpayment balance on an
earlier installment even if you designate a payment for a later period. See
Example 2 below. Use lines 3, 6, 9, and 12 of the penalty worksheet to
show the number of days an underpayment remained unpaid. Use lines
4, 7, 10, and 13 to figure the actual penalty amount by applying the
appropriate rate to an underpayment for the number of days it remained
unpaid.

For example, if you have an underpayment on line 17, column (a), but
Table 1 shows you have no payments until after January 4, 2023, you
would enter “76” on line 6, column (a), of the penalty worksheet.

Example 2. You had a $500 underpayment remaining after your
April 15 payment. The June 15 installment required a payment of $1,200.
On June 10, you made a payment of $1,200 to cover the June 15
installment. However, $500 of this payment is applied first to the April 15

Table 4-1. Calendar To Determine the Number of Days a Payment Is Late
Instructions. Use this table with Form 2210 if you’re completing Part III, Section B. First, find the number for the
payment due date by going across to the column of the month the payment was due and moving down the column
to the due date. Then, in the same manner, find the number for the date the payment was made. Finally, subtract
the due date number from the payment date number. The result is the number of days the payment is late.

.

Example. The payment due date is June 15 (61). The payment was made on November 4 (203). The payment is
142 days late (203 – 61).

used to fully pay the September underpayment. Do not enter any
payment on line 1b, column (d).

Additional information. Estates and trusts, see Notice 87-32.
Individuals filing Form 1040-NR. If you’re filing Form 1040-NR and
you didn't receive wages as an employee subject to U.S. income tax
withholding, follow these modified instructions for Schedule AI.
1. Skip column (a).

Line 3. If more than one payment was applied to an underpayment on
line 1a, enter the number of days each payment was late.

2. Beginning with column (b), enter on line 1 your income for the
period that is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.

Example 4. Using the same facts as Example 3 above, enter “15”
(number of days from 04/15 to 04/30) and “61” (number of days from
04/15 to 06/15) on line 3, column (a) (see illustration under Example 5
below).

3. Increase the amount on line 19 by the amount determined by
multiplying your income for the period that isn't effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or business by the following.
• In column (b), 72%.
• In column (c), 45%.
• In column (d), 30%.

Line 4. Make the computation requested on line 4 and enter the result. If
more than one payment was required to fully satisfy an underpayment
amount, make a separate computation for each payment. See
Example 5 below.

However, if you can use a treaty rate lower than 30% for all your
income during the year that isn’t effectively connected with a U.S.
trade or business, use the percentages determined by multiplying
your treaty rate by 2.4, 1.5, and 1, respectively.

Example 5. Assume the same facts as in Example 3, earlier. On
line 4, enter the penalty for each underpayment: “$3.29” ($2,000 × (15 ÷
365) × 0.04) and “$13.37” ($2,000 × (61 ÷ 365) × 0.04). The entries are
illustrated below.

If different treaty rates are applicable, substitute your weighted
average treaty rate during the year for the treaty rate in the previous
sentence. For example, if you have $1,000 of income during the
year that isn’t effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business,
and $500 is subject to a 15% treaty rate, $200 is subject to a 5%
treaty rate, and $300 is subject to a 30% treaty rate, the weighted
average treaty rate would be 17.5%. You would use the
percentages for columns (b), (c), and (d) determined by multiplying
17.5% by 2.4, 1.5, and 1, respectively.

amount.

Column (a) is fully paid in the second rate period; therefore, lines 6, 7,
9, 10, 12, and 13 for column (a) would be blank. Continue with the
underpayment in columns (b), (c), and (d) in the same manner.

5. Skip column (b) of lines 22 and 25.

Note. If an underpayment balance remains for the remaining rate
periods, calculate the penalty using the same steps as explained above,
but use the days and interest rates on lines 6 and 7 for rate period 2,
lines 9 and 10 for rate period 3, and lines 12 and 13 for rate period 4.

Part I—Annualized Income Installments
To figure the amount of each required installment, Schedule AI selects
the smaller of the annualized income installment or the regular
installment (that has been increased by the amount saved by using the
annualized income installment method in figuring any earlier
installments).

Schedule AI—Annualized Income
Installment Method

If your income varied during the year because, for example, you
operated your business on a seasonal basis or had a large capital gain
late in the year, you may be able to lower or eliminate the amount of one
or more required installments by using the annualized income installment
method. Use Schedule AI to figure the required installments to enter on
Form 2210, Part III, line 10.

!

Line 1
For each period (column), figure your total income minus your
adjustments to income. Include your share of partnership or S
corporation income or loss items for the period.

If you use Schedule AI for any payment due date, you must use
it for all payment due dates.

If you’re self-employed, be sure to take into account the deductible
part of your self-employment tax.

CAUTION

Line 2

To use the annualized income installment method to figure the
penalty, you must do all of the following.
1. Complete Schedule AI, Part I (and Part II, if necessary). Enter the
amounts from Schedule AI, Part I, line 27, columns (a) through (d),
in the corresponding columns of Form 2210, Part III, line 10.

Estates and trusts don't use the amounts shown in columns (a) through
(d). Instead, use 6, 3, 1.71429, and 1.09091, respectively, as the
annualization amounts.

2. Complete Part III to figure the penalty. This includes completing the
penalty worksheet, earlier, in the instructions.

Line 6

3. Check box C in Part II.

If you itemized deductions, multiply line 4 of each column by line 5 and
enter the result on line 6.

4. For each period shown on Schedule AI, figure your income and
deductions based on your method of accounting. If you use the
cash method of accounting (used by most people), include all
income actually or constructively received during the period and all
deductions actually paid during the period.

Line 7
If you’re a resident of India and a student or business apprentice, enter
your standard deduction from Form 1040-NR, line 12.

5. Attach Form 2210, Parts I, II, III, and Schedule AI to your return.
Note. Each period (see the top of Schedule AI) includes amounts from
the previous period(s).
• Period (a) includes items for January 1 through March 31.
• Period (b) includes items for January 1 through May 31.
• Period (c) includes items for January 1 through August 31.
• Period (d) includes items for the entire year.

Line 9
Enter your deduction for qualified business income. For information on
how to compute your deduction for qualified business income, see the
instructions for Forms 8995 and 8995-A.

If you expect to deduct investment interest expense, don’t include on this line any qualified dividends or net capital gain that you will elect to treat as
investment income.
2
This includes a section 1202 exclusion from eligible gain on qualified small business stock and gain or loss from the sale or exchange of collectibles. See the
Instructions for Schedule D (Form 1040) for more information.

Line 12

Line 28

Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR filers, enter -0- in each column.
Estates and trusts, use the exemption amount shown on your return.

Generally, to figure your net earnings from self-employment on line 28,
multiply your net profit from all trades or businesses for each period by
92.35% (0.9235).

Line 14

However, if your Form W-2 showed church employee income or you
deducted Conservation Reserve Program payments on your
Schedule SE, use a separate Schedule SE as a worksheet to calculate
net earnings from self-employment for each period. For this purpose, net
earnings from self-employment is the amount on Schedule SE, line 6.

To compute the tax, see the instructions for your tax return for the
applicable Tax Table or worksheet to use. For example, Form 1040 or
1040-SR filers can use the Tax Table; Tax Computation Worksheet;
Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet; Schedule D Tax
Worksheet; Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet; Schedule J; or
Form 8615, Tax for Certain Children Who Have Unearned Income.

Line 30
If you filed Form 4137, Social Security and Medicare Tax on Unreported
Tip Income, or Form 8919, Uncollected Social Security and Medicare
Tax on Wages, use the following instructions to figure the additional
amount to include in the appropriate columns of line 30.
• Form 4137: Include the actual unreported tips for the period subject
to social security tax. This will be the amount on Form 4137, line 10,
when the form is completed for a specific period.
• Form 8919: Include the actual wages for the period from which the
social security tax wasn't withheld. This will be the amount on Form
8919, line 10, when the form is completed for a specific period.

Line 16
Enter all of the other taxes you owed because of events that occurred
during the months shown in the column headings. Include the same
taxes used to figure Form 2210, Part I, line 2 (except self-employment
tax), plus the tax from Form 4972, Tax on Lump-Sum Distributions; Form
8814, Parents' Election To Report Child's Interest and Dividends; and
any alternative minimum tax (AMT).
To figure the AMT, Form 1040 or 1040-SR filers use Form 6251;
estates and trusts use Schedule I (Form 1041). Figure alternative
minimum taxable income based on your income and deductions during
the periods shown in the column headings. Multiply this amount by the
annualization amounts shown for each column on Schedule AI, line 2,
before subtracting the AMT exemption.
