Estimated Tax Payments 
In  general,      a fiduciary  for  an  estate      or trust  must  file  quarterly  
estimated   payments      if the               estate  or trust                is expected      to owe  
more  than  $500  with  the  2022  return  after  crediting  any  other  
refundable   or  nonrefundable credits,                        and    amounts        you     paid           
through  withholding. 
       If the estate       or trust owes      more    than      $500,     estimated         payments        
may  not  have          to be made      if the  estate      or trust  expects  the  2022  
withholding              to be at least: 
  •     90 percent              of the total  tax     for  2022,   
  •     100  percent      of the  total  tax  shown  on  the  2021  return,      or
