What is the West Virginia Estimated Tax form?
The West Virginia Estimated Tax form, known as WV/IT-140ES, is used by individuals who expect to owe at least $600 in state tax when filing their annual income tax return. This form allows taxpayers to make estimated tax payments throughout the year to avoid penalties at tax time.
Who needs to file the Estimated Tax form?
If you anticipate owing $600 or more in state taxes, you are required to file this form. This applies to individuals with income that is not subject to withholding, such as self-employment income, rental income, or interest income.
How do I determine my estimated tax amount?
To calculate your estimated tax, refer to the instruction brochure (Form IT-140ESI) available on the West Virginia State Tax Department's website. This brochure provides guidance on how to estimate your income and the tax owed based on your expected earnings.
When are estimated tax payments due?
Due dates for estimated tax payments depend on your tax year. If you are a calendar year taxpayer, payments are typically due on April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15 of the following year. If you do not follow the calendar year, consult the instructions for specific due dates.
Can I pay more than the minimum amount?
Yes, you can pay more than the minimum amount calculated using the instructions. While it is important to pay at least the minimum to avoid penalties, making larger payments can help reduce your tax liability when you file your annual return.
What should I do if my address has changed?
If any information preprinted on the form is incorrect or has changed, check the box for "Change of Address" and complete the section with your updated information. This ensures that the West Virginia State Tax Department has your current mailing address.
Where do I mail my estimated tax payment?
Mail your completed Estimated Tax form and payment to the following address: West Virginia State Tax Department, Tax Account Administration Division - EST, P.O. Box 342, Charleston, WV 25322-0342. Ensure that you send your payment by the due date to avoid penalties.
