Do I have to make Vermont estimated tax payments?
Vermont requires estimated payments once you expect to owe $500 or more in state income tax for the year. The state form is Form IN-114. Payments can be made online through myVTax. Filing and paying federal estimated tax does not cover the state amount — they are separate payments.
Where do I pay Vermont estimated taxes online?
Vermont accepts online estimated tax payments through myVTax, run by the Vermont Department of Taxes. Federal payments go through IRS Direct Pay or EFTPS separately.
What happens if I underpay estimated taxes in Vermont?
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. Vermont applies its own interest and penalty on late or short state payments.
State payments are administered by the Vermont Department of Taxes via myVTax.
