The Tax Commission will charge an underpayment penalty to entities that 
fail to make or underpay the required estimated tax.

Extension Payment Requirements
A corporation/partnership has an automatic filing extension if it makes the 
necessary extension payment by the return due date. The estimated tax 
payments must equal at least the lesser of:
 1)  90 percent of the current year tax liability 
     (or the $100 corporation minimum tax, if greater), or
 2)  100 percent of the previous-year tax liability.
The remaining tax, plus any penalty and interest, is due when the return is filed.
Note: A pass-through entity (partnership or S corporation) must pay 100 
percent of any pass-through withholding by the original due date to avoid 
penalties and interest.
