Who May File
Any corporation that overpaid its estimated tax for the tax year may
apply for a quick refund if the overpayment is:
• At least 10% of the expected tax liability, and
• At least $500.
The overpayment is the excess of the estimated income tax the
corporation paid during the tax year over the final income tax
liability expected for the tax year, at the time this application is filed.
If members of an affiliated group paid their estimated income tax
on a consolidated basis or expect to file a consolidated return for
the tax year, only the common parent corporation may file Form
4466.
If any member of the group paid estimated income tax during the
portion of the tax year when it was not a member, the member (and
not the common parent) must file the Form 4466 to request a quick
refund of any estimated tax overpayment it made in that portion of
the year.
Note: Form 4466 is not considered a claim for credit or refund.

corporation’s tax return will not extend the time for filing Form 4466.

Internal Revenue Service Center (see Where To File below). The IRS

return. Attach either the signed Form 4466 or an unsigned Form
4466 with the same information stated on the signed Form 4466. If
