N.D. Admin Code 81-03-04-02 - Payments of estimated taxes by individuals, estates, and trusts
1. Except as otherwise provided, an
individual, estate, or trust subject to section 6654 of the Internal Revenue
Code, relating to failure to pay estimated income taxes, shall make payments of
estimated state income tax.
2. For
purposes of subsection 5 of North Dakota Century Code section
57-38-62:
a. An amended return filed on or before the
due date, including extensions for filing the original return, is the
individual's, estate's, or trust's return for that taxable year.
b. An audit assessment does not affect the
calculation of estimated tax payments.
3. Interest for failure to make payments of
estimated state income tax must be waived by the tax commissioner in the
following situations:
a. When an individual
derives over two-thirds of gross income from farming, files a federal income
tax return by March first of the following tax year, and pays the federal tax
in full by that same date, but does not make payments of estimated state income
tax. The individual does not have to file a state income tax return or pay any
state income tax due on or before March first of the following tax year to
qualify for this waiver of interest.
b. When an individual derives over two-thirds
of gross income from farming, makes the one required estimated federal tax
installment on January fifteenth of the following tax year, files a federal
income tax return after March first of the following tax year, and pays the
estimated state income tax due on January fifteenth of the following tax year.
The first three payments due on April fifteenth, June fifteenth, and September
fifteenth of the current tax year are not required to qualify for this waiver
of interest.
c. When an
individual, estate, or trust utilizes the annualized income installment method
for federal purposes as provided in section 6654 of the Internal Revenue Code,
and makes the required estimated state income tax payment based thereon.
d. When an individual, estate, or
trust has a current year tax liability which exceeds the taxpayer's withholding
by less than five hundred dollars, and the taxpayer does not make payments of
estimated state income tax. The five hundred dollar limitation applies per
return.
4. To determine
tax liability for the immediately preceding year, married taxpayers who filed
separate returns in the prior year, but who plan to file a joint return for the
current year, shall combine the tax liabilities reflected on their prior year
returns. Joint estimated tax payments for the current year must equal or exceed
one hundred percent of the couple's total tax liability for the prior year if
the prior year test is applicable.
