Form 1041-ES
Estimated Income Tax for Estates and Trusts
Section references are to the Internal
Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.

Future Developments
For the latest information about
developments related to Form 1041-ES
and its instructions, such as legislation
enacted after they were published, go to
www.irs.gov/Form1041ES.

What’s New
Capital gains and qualified dividends.
The maximum tax rate for long-term
capital gains and qualified dividends is
20%. For tax year 2026, the 20% rate
applies to amounts above $16,250. The
0% and 15% rates continue to apply to
amounts below certain threshold
amounts. The 0% rate applies to
amounts up to $3,300. The 15% rate
applies to amounts between the two
thresholds.

Purpose of Form
Use this package to figure and pay
estimated tax for an estate or trust.
Estimated tax is the amount of tax an
estate or trust expects to owe for the
year after subtracting the amount of any
tax withheld and the amount of any
credits.
This package is primarily for first-time
filers. After the IRS receives the first
payment voucher, the estate or trust will
receive a 1041-ES package with the
name, address, and employer
identification number (EIN) preprinted on
the vouchers for the next tax year. Use
the preprinted vouchers unless the
Electronic Federal Tax Payment System
(EFTPS) is used. If you, as fiduciary,
didn’t receive any 2026 preprinted
vouchers, use the vouchers in this
package. However, don’t use the
vouchers to notify the IRS of a change of
address. If the fiduciary has moved,
complete Form 8822-B, Change of
Address or Responsible Party—
Business.

Who Must Make Estimated
Tax Payments

How To Figure Estimated
Tax

Generally, a fiduciary of an estate or trust
must pay estimated tax if the estate or
trust is expected to owe, after
subtracting its withholding and credits,
at least $1,000 in tax for 2026 and can
expect its withholding and credits to be
less than the smaller of:

Use the 2026 Estimated Tax Worksheet
and 2026 Tax Rate Schedule, later, and
the estate’s or trust’s 2025 tax return
and instructions as a guide for figuring
the 2026 estimated tax.

1. 90% of the tax shown on the 2026
tax return (662/3% of the tax if the estate
or trust qualifies as a farmer or fisherman
(fisher)); or
2. The tax shown on the 2025 tax
return (110% of that amount if the
estate’s or trust’s adjusted gross income
(AGI) on that return is more than
$150,000, and less than 2/3 of gross
income for 2025 and 2026 is from
farming or fishing).
However, if a return wasn’t filed for
2025 or that return didn’t cover a full 12
months, item (2) above doesn’t apply.
For this purpose, include household
employment taxes when figuring the tax
shown on the tax return, but only if:
• The estate or trust will have federal
income tax withheld from any income, or
• The estate or trust would be required
to make estimated tax payments (to
avoid a penalty) even if it didn’t include
household employment taxes when
figuring its estimated tax.
Exceptions. Estimated tax payments
aren’t required from:
1. An estate of a domestic decedent or
a domestic trust that had a full 12-month
2025 tax year and had no tax liability for
that year;
2. A decedent’s estate for any tax year
ending before the date that is 2 years
after the decedent’s death; or
3. A trust that was treated as owned
by the decedent if the trust will receive
the residue of the decedent’s estate
under the will (or, if no will is admitted to
probate, is the trust primarily responsible
for paying debts, taxes, and expenses of
administration) for any tax year ending
before the date that is 2 years after the
decedent’s death.

Cat. No. 63550R

If the estate or trust receives its
income unevenly throughout the year, it
may be able to lower or eliminate the
amount of its required estimated tax
payment for one or more periods by
using the annualized income installment
method. See Pub. 505, Tax Withholding
and Estimated Tax, for details.

Line 4. Exemption
Decedents’ estates. A decedent’s
estate is allowed a $600 exemption.
Trusts required to distribute all
income currently. A trust whose
governing instrument requires that all
income be distributed currently
is allowed a $300 exemption, even if it
distributed amounts other than income
during the tax year.
Qualified disability trusts. A qualified
disability trust is allowed a $5,300
exemption. This amount is not subject to
phaseout.
A qualified disability trust is any trust:
1. Described in 42 U.S.C. 1396p(c)(2)
(B)(iv) and established solely for the
benefit of an individual under 65 years of
age who is disabled, and
2. All of the beneficiaries of which are
determined by the Commissioner of
Social Security to have been disabled for
some part of the tax year within the
meaning of 42 U.S.C. 1382c(a)(3).
A trust won’t fail to meet (2) above just
because the trust’s corpus may revert to
a person who isn’t disabled after the
trust ceases to have any disabled
beneficiaries.

Qualified funeral trusts. No exemption
is allowed to a qualified funeral trust.
All other trusts. A trust not described
above is allowed a $100 exemption.

Line 7. Tax
Electing Alaska Native Settlement
Trusts. Multiply line 6 by 10% (0.10) to
figure the amount of tax to enter on line
7, unless the trust is expected to have
qualified dividends or a net capital gain
for 2026. Use Part IV of Schedule D of
Form 1041-N, U.S. Income Tax Return
for Electing Alaska Native Settlement
Trusts, as a worksheet to figure the 2026
tax on qualified dividends or net capital
gain. See the Instructions for Form
1041-N at www.irs.gov/Form1041N for
more information.

Line 10. Credits
For details on credits the estate or trust
may claim, see the instructions for lines
2a–2d of Schedule G, Form 1041.

Line 12. Other Taxes
Enter any other taxes such as the
following.
• For estates and trusts, the Net
Investment Income Tax (NIIT) is 3.8% of
the lesser of the estate’s or trust’s
undistributed net investment income or
the excess of the estate’s or trust’s AGI
over the dollar amount at which the
highest income tax bracket for estates
and trusts begins for such tax year. For
tax years beginning after 2025, the
highest income tax bracket applies to
amounts over $16,000. The NIIT doesn’t
apply to trusts where all of the unexpired
interests are devoted to charitable
purposes. For information about the
NIIT, see the Instructions for Form 8960.
• Tax from recapture of investment
credit, low-income housing credit,
qualified electric vehicle credit, the
Indian employment credit, the new
markets credit, or the credit for
employer-provided childcare facilities.
• Tax on accumulation distribution of
trusts.
• Tax figured under section 641(c) on
income attributable to S corporation
stock held by an electing small business
trust. For details, see Electing Small
Business Trusts in the 2025 Instructions
for Form 1041.
Note: For 2026, the highest income tax
rate for trusts is 37%.
Include household employment taxes
on line 12 if:
• The estate or trust will have federal
income tax withheld from any income, or
• The estate or trust would be required
to make estimated tax payments (to
avoid a penalty) even if it didn’t include
household employment taxes when
figuring its estimated tax.

When To Make Estimated
Tax Payments
Trusts. The trust may pay all of its
estimated tax by April 15, 2026, or in
four equal installments due by the
following dates.
1st installment .

.

.

. April 15, 2026

2nd installment .

.

.

. June 15, 2026

3rd installment .

.

.

. Sept. 15, 2026

4th installment .

.

.

. Jan. 15, 2027

If the trust has a short tax year, see
Notice 87-32, 1987-1 C.B. 477, for the
estimated tax due dates and other
information.
Tip: The trust doesn’t have to make the
payment due on January 15, 2027, if it
files the 2026 Form 1041 by January
31, 2027, and pays the entire balance
due with the return.
Estates. If the estate has adopted a
calendar year as its tax year, file using
the rules listed under Trusts above.
If the estate has adopted a fiscal year,
it may pay all of its estimated tax by the
15th day of the 4th month of its 2026 tax
year or in four equal installments due on
the 15th day of the 4th, 6th, and 9th
months of the 2026 tax year, and the 1st
month of the following tax year.
Tip: The estate doesn’t have to make the
payment due on the 15th day of the 1st
month following the close of the fiscal
year if it files the 2026 Form 1041 by the
last day of the 1st month following the
close of the fiscal year, and pays the
entire balance due with the return.
If any date falls on a Saturday,
Sunday, or legal holiday, the installment
is due on the next business day. See
Pub. 509, Tax Calendars, for a list of all
legal holidays.
If, after March 31, 2026, or after the
last day of the third month of the fiscal
tax year, the estate or trust has a large
enough change in income to require the
payment of estimated tax, figure the
amount of each installment by using the
annualized income installment method,
as explained in Pub. 505.
Farmers and fishermen (fishers). An
estate or trust qualifies as a farmer or
fisherman (fisher) if at least 2/3 of gross
income for 2025 or 2026 is from farming
or fishing. If the estate or trust qualifies,
do one of the following.
• Pay the total estimated tax (line 16 of
the 2026 Estimated Tax Worksheet) by
January 15, 2027.
• File Form 1041 for 2026 by
March 1, 2027, and pay the total tax
due. In this case, don’t make estimated
tax payments for 2026.

-2-

For fiscal-year estates, pay the total
estimated tax by the 15th day of the 1st
month following the close of the tax
year, or file Form 1041 by the 1st day of
the 3rd month following the close of the
tax year and pay the total tax due.

How To Complete and Use
the Payment Vouchers
Pay electronically. The IRS
recommends paying electronically
whenever possible. Go to
www.irs.gov/Payments for more
information on all of your payment
options.
Each payment voucher has the date
when the voucher is due for calendar
year estates and trusts. Be sure to use
the correct voucher. Complete and send
in the voucher only if you are making a
payment. To complete your voucher, do
the following.
• Enter the estate’s or trust’s name and
EIN, and the fiduciary’s name, title, and
address in the spaces provided on the
payment voucher.
• Enter in the payment box of the
voucher only the amount the estate or
trust is sending in. When making
payments of estimated tax, be sure to
take into account any 2025 overpayment
that the estate or trust chose to credit
against its 2026 tax, but don’t include
the overpayment amount in this box.
• Enclose, but don’t staple or attach, a
check or money order with the payment
voucher. Make the check or money order
payable to “United States Treasury.”
Write the estate’s or trust’s EIN and
“2026 Form 1041-ES” on the check or
money order. Do not include any balance
due on the 2025 Form 1041 with the
check for 2026 estimated tax.
Fill in the Record of Estimated Tax
Payments in the 2026 Tax Rate Schedule
and keep it for your files.
No checks of $100 million or more
accepted. The IRS can’t accept a single
check (including a cashier’s check) for
amounts of $100,000,000 ($100 million)
or more. If you’re sending $100 million or
more by check, you’ll need to spread the
payments over two or more checks with
each check made out for an amount less
than $100 million. The $100 million or
more amount limit does not apply to
other methods of payment (such as
electronic payments), so consider paying
by means other than checks.

Electronic Deposits
A financial institution that has been
designated as an authorized federal tax
depositary, and acts as a fiduciary for at
least 200 taxable trusts that are required
to pay estimated tax, is required to
deposit the estimated tax payments
electronically using EFTPS.
A fiduciary that isn’t required to make
electronic deposits of estimated tax on
behalf of a trust or an estate may
voluntarily participate in EFTPS. To
enroll in or get more information about
EFTPS, go to the EFTPS website at
www.EFTPS.gov or call 800-555-4477.
To contact EFTPS using
Telecommunications Relay Services
(TRS) for people who are deaf, hard of
hearing, or have a speech disability, dial
711 and then provide the TRS assistant
the 800-555-4477 number above or
800-733-4829. Also, see Pub. 966,
Electronic Federal Tax Payment System:
A Guide to Getting Started.

Worksheet). Then use Worksheet 2-7,
Annualized Estimated Tax Worksheet, in
Pub. 505 to figure the payment due for
each remaining period. If an estimated
tax payment for a previous period is less
than ¼ of the amended estimated tax,
the estate or trust may owe a penalty
when its return is filed.

When a Penalty Is Applied
In some cases, the estate or trust may
owe a penalty when it files its return. The
penalty is imposed on each
underpayment for the number of days it
remains unpaid. A penalty may be
applied if the estate or trust didn’t pay
enough estimated tax or it didn’t make
the payments on time or in the required
amount. A penalty may apply even if the
estate or trust has an overpayment on its
tax return.
The penalty may be waived under
certain conditions. See Pub. 505 for
details.

Depositing on time. For a deposit using
EFTPS to be on time, the deposit must
be submitted by 8 p.m. Eastern time the
day before the due date of the deposit.

Certain Payments of
Estimated Tax Treated as
Paid by Beneficiary

Where To File

The fiduciary (or executor, for the final
year of the estate) may elect to have any
portion of its estimated tax payments
treated as made by a beneficiary (and
not as payments made by the estate or
trust).

Mail the payment voucher to:
Internal Revenue Service
P.O. Box 932400
Louisville, KY 40293-2400

Amending Estimated Tax
Payments
To change or amend the estate’s or
trust’s estimated tax payments, refigure
the total estimated tax payments due
(line 16 of the 2026 Estimated Tax

Such an amount is treated as a
payment of the estimated tax made by
the beneficiary on January 15 following
the end of the tax year.
Time for making election. The fiduciary
must make the election on the 2026
Form 1041-T, Allocation of Estimated
Tax Payments to Beneficiaries. The
election must be filed on or before the
65th day after the close of the estate’s or
