Estimated Tax for Individuals
Purpose of This Package

Use this package to figure and pay your
estimated tax. If you are not required to
make estimated tax payments for 2008, 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. See the 2007
instructions for your tax return for details on
income that is taxable.
The estimated tax worksheet on page 4
will help you figure the correct amount to
pay. If you are paying by check or money
order, use the estimated tax payment
vouchers in this package to ensure your
estimated tax payments are credited
correctly to your account. Use the Record of
Estimated Tax Payments on page 6 to keep
track of the payments you have made and
the number and amounts of your remaining
payments.
Change of address. File these payment
vouchers using your current address. If this
is a new mailing address, file Form 8822,
Change of Address, with the Internal
Revenue Service Center serving your old
address to update your record.
Pre-printed vouchers. Because you are
making estimated tax payments for 2008,
estimated tax payment vouchers for 2009
will be sent to you pre-printed with your
name, address, and social security number,
along with return envelopes and a copy of
the instructions.
If you do not want to receive the

TIP vouchers and envelopes, simply
begin making your estimated tax
payments electronically.

Who Must Make Estimated
Tax Payments
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)).
General rule. In most cases, you must
make estimated tax payments if you expect
to owe at least $1,000 in tax for 2008 (after
subtracting your withholding and credits)
and you expect your withholding and credits
to be less than the smaller of:

1. 90% of the tax shown on your 2008
tax return, or
2. 100% of the tax shown on your 2007
tax return (but see Higher income taxpayers
below).
However, if you did not file a 2007 tax
return or if your 2007 return did not cover 12
months, item (2) above does not apply.

Exception. You do not have to pay
estimated tax for 2008 if you were a U. S.
citizen or resident alien for all of 2007 and
you had no tax liability for the full 12-month
2007 tax year. You had no tax liability for
2007 if your total tax was zero or you did not
have to file an income tax return.

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

Farmers and fishermen. If at least
two-thirds of your gross income for 2007 or
2008 is from farming or fishing, substitute
662/3% for 90% in (1) under General rule,
above.

Household employers. When
estimating the tax on your 2008 tax return,
include your household employment taxes
(the amount before subtracting advance EIC
payments made to your employee(s)) 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 for 2007 was more
than $150,000 ($75,000 if your filing status
for 2008 is married filing separately),
substitute 110% for 100% in (2) under
General rule, earlier. This rule does not
apply to farmers or fishermen.
Increase your withholding. 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.
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 can also choose to have federal
income tax withheld from certain
government payments. For details, see
Form W-4V, Voluntary Withholding Request.
Cat. No. 11340T

What’s New for 2008

Use your 2007 tax return as a guide in
figuring your 2008 estimated tax, but be
sure to consider the following changes. For
more information on these changes and
other changes that may affect your 2008
estimated tax, see Pub. 553.
Standard deduction. If you do not itemize
your deductions, you can take the 2008
standard deduction listed below for your
filing status.

IF your 2008 filing
status is...

THEN your
standard
deduction is...

Married filing jointly or
Qualifying widow(er)

$xx,xxx

Head of household

$x,xxx

Single or Married filing
separately

$x,xxx

However, if you can be claimed as a
dependent on another person’s 2008 return,
your standard deduction is the greater of:
• $850, or
• Your earned income plus $300 (up to the
standard deduction amount).
Your standard deduction is increased by
the following amount if, at the end of 2008,
you are:
• An unmarried individual (single or head of
household) and are:

Both spouses 65 or older and blind
$4,200*
* If married filing separately, these amounts apply
only if you can claim an exemption for your
spouse.

Your standard deduction is zero if (a)
your spouse itemizes on a separate
CAUTION return, or (b) you were a dual-status
alien and you do not elect to be taxed as a
resident alien for 2008.

How To Figure Your
Estimated Tax

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

Payment Due Dates
You may pay all of your estimated tax by
April 15, 2008, or in four equal amounts by
the dates shown below.
1st payment . . . . . . . . . . .
April 15, 2008
2nd payment . . . . . . . . . . . June 16, 2008
3rd payment . . . . . . . . . . . Sept. 15, 2008

return by February 2, 2009, and pay the entire
balance due with your return.

You will need:
• The 2008 Estimated Tax Worksheet on
page 4,
• The Instructions for the 2008 Estimated
Tax Worksheet on page 4,
• The 2008 Tax Rate Schedules on page 3,
and
• Your 2007 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
for 2008 that begins on page 1).
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), 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.
Changing your estimated tax. To amend
or correct your estimated tax, see How To
Amend Estimated Tax Payments on this
page.

Although your payment due dates will be the
same as shown above, the payment
amounts will vary based on your income,
deductions, additional taxes, and credits for
the months ending before each payment
due date. As a result, this method may allow
you to skip or lower the amount due for one
or more payments. If you use the annualized
income installment method, file Form 2210,
Underpayment of Estimated Tax by
Individuals, Estates, and Trusts, with your
2008 tax return, even if no penalty is owed.
Farmers and fishermen. If at least
two-thirds of your gross income for 2007 or
2008 is from farming or fishing, you can do
one of the following.
• Pay all of your estimated tax by January
15, 2009.
• File your 2008 Form 1040 by March 2,
2009, and pay the total tax due. In this case,
2008 estimated tax payments are not
required to avoid a penalty.
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.

Payments are due by the dates
indicated whether or not you are
outside the United States and Puerto

Rico.
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 on this page.
No income subject to estimated tax
during first payment period. If, after
March 31, 2008, 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.

Name Change

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
2008 tax return. On the statement, show all
of the estimated tax payments you (and your
spouse, if filing jointly) made for 2008 and
the name(s) and SSN(s) under which you
made the payments.
Be sure to report the change to your
local Social Security Administration office
before filing your 2008 tax return. This
prevents delays in processing your return
and issuing refunds. It also safeguards your
future social security benefits. For more
details, call the Social Security
Administration at 1-800-772-1213.

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 worksheet on
page 4). Then, to figure the payment due for
each remaining payment period, see
Amended estimated tax under Regular
Installment Method 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
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.

There is a separate estimated tax payment
voucher for each due date. The due date is
shown in the upper right corner. Be sure to
use the voucher with the correct due date
for each payment you make. Complete and
send in the voucher only if you are making a
payment by check or money order.
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. If you and your
spouse plan to file separate returns, file
separate vouchers instead of a joint
voucher.
• 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 2007 overpayment that you choose to
credit against your 2008 tax, but do not
include the overpayment amount in this box.
• Make your check or money order payable
to the “United States Treasury.” Do not send
cash. To help process your payment, enter
the amount on the right side of the check
like this: $ XXX.XX. Do not use dashes or
lines (forXXexample, do not enter “$ XXX – ” or
“$ XXX 100 ”).
• Enter “2008 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.
• Mail your voucher and check or money
order to the address shown on page 6 for
the place where you live.
• Fill in the Record of Estimated Tax
Payments on page 6 for your files.

Pay Electronically
Paying electronically helps to ensure timely
receipt of your estimated tax payment. You
can pay electronically using the following
convenient, safe, and secure electronic
payment options.
• Electronic Federal Tax Payment System
(EFTPS).
• Electronic funds withdrawal.
• Credit card.
When you pay taxes electronically, there
is no check to write and no voucher to mail.

Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Act Notice. The Privacy
Act of 1974 and the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 require
that when we ask you for information we must first tell you our
legal right to ask for the information, why we are asking for it,
and how it will be used. We must also tell you what could
happen if we do not receive it and whether your response is
voluntary, required to obtain a benefit, or mandatory under the
law.
This notice applies to all papers you file with us. It also applies
to any questions we need to ask you so we can complete,
correct, or process your return; figure your tax; and collect tax,
interest, or penalties.
Our legal right to ask for information is Internal Revenue Code
sections 6001, 6011, and 6012(a), and their regulations. They say
that you must file a return or statement with us for any tax for
which you are liable. Your response is mandatory under these
sections. Code section 6109 and its regulations say that you
must provide your taxpayer identification number on what you
file. This is so we know who you are, and can process your
return and other papers.
You are not required to provide the information requested on
a form that is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act unless the
form displays a valid OMB control number. Books or records
relating to a form or its instructions must be retained as long as
their contents may become material in the administration of any
Internal Revenue law. Generally, tax returns and return
information are confidential, as stated in Code section 6103.

We ask for tax return information to carry out the tax laws of
the United States. We need it to figure and collect the right
amount of tax.
We may disclose the information to the Department of Justice
and to other federal agencies, as provided by law. We may
disclose it to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S.
commonwealths or possessions to carry out their tax laws. We
may also disclose this information to other countries under a tax
treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce federal nontax
criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence
agencies to combat terrorism.
If you do not file a return, do not give the information asked
for, or give fraudulent information, you may be charged penalties
and be subject to criminal prosecution.
Please keep this notice with your records. It may help you if
we ask you for other information. If you have any questions
about the rules for filing and giving information, please call or
visit any Internal Revenue Service office.
The average time and expenses required to complete and file
this form will vary depending on individual circumstances. For
the estimated averages, see the instructions for your income tax
return.
If you have suggestions for making this package simpler, we
would be happy to hear from you. See the instructions for your
income tax return.
