Do I have to make Mississippi estimated tax payments?

Mississippi requires estimated payments once you expect to owe $200 or more in state income tax for the year. The state form is Form 80-106. Payments can be made online through Taxpayer Access Point. Filing and paying federal estimated tax does not cover the state amount — they are separate payments.

What happens if I underpay estimated taxes in Mississippi?

The IRS charges an underpayment penalty based on the amount underpaid and the number of days late. Paying at least 90% of this year's tax or 100% of last year's (110% if your AGI exceeded $150,000) meets the federal safe harbour. Mississippi applies its own interest and penalty on late or short state payments.
