IL-1040-ES Estimated Income Tax Payments for Individuals 2019
If you do not receive your income
evenly throughout the year or if you must
begin making estimated payments in
midyear, see Form IL-2210, Computation of
Penalties for Individuals, for further details on
annualizing your income.
When are my payments due?
Your first estimated payment is due by
April 15, 2019. You may either pay all of
your estimated tax at that time or pay your
estimated tax in four equal installments that
are due on April 15, 2019; June 17, 2019;
September 16, 2019; and January 15, 2020.
If you file on a fiscal-year basis,
please adjust all the due dates to correspond
to your tax year.
Are there any exceptions?
You do not have to make estimated
payments if you are
65 years or older and permanently living in
a nursing home or
a farmer. We consider you a farmer if at
least two-thirds of your total federal gross
income is from farming.
Am I required to make estimated
income tax payments?
You must make estimated income tax
payments if you reasonably expect your
2019 tax liability to exceed $1,000 after
subtracting your Illinois withholding, pass-
through withholding, and tax credits for
income tax paid to other states,
Illinois Property Tax paid,
education expenses,
the Earned Income Credit, and
Schedule 1299-C, Income Tax
Subtractions and Credits (for individuals).
You will likely need to make estimated
payments if your income is either fully or
partially exempt from Illinois withholding.
Complete the Estimated Tax Worksheet to
figure your estimated tax and to determine
if you are required to make estimated tax
payments. If you plan to file a joint income
tax return, you must figure your estimated
tax on your joint income.
If you determine that you are required to
make estimated payments, you should
pay 100 percent of the tax. If your income
changes during the year, you should
complete the amended worksheet.
What if I do not make my payments?
You may be assessed a late-payment
penalty if you do not pay the required
estimated payments on time. We will apply
each payment to the earliest due date until
that liability is paid, unless you provide
specific instructions to apply it to another
period. However, if you pay at least 90 percent
of this year’s tax or at least 100 percent of last
year’s tax in four equal timely installments,
you may not be subject to this penalty.
For more information about penalties and
interest, see Publication 103, Penalties and
Interest for Illinois Taxes.
