The RPD-41272 13 form, introduced by the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department as of January 4, 2013, is an essential document for individuals who choose to calculate their estimated personal income tax underpayment penalty using an alternative method. Designed to offer options for those whose financial circumstances do not align with the standard computation method, the form requires individuals to detail their estimated tax due, explaining various options for calculation on the second page of the instructions. Particularly beneficial for taxpayers with uneven income throughout the year, farmers, ranchers, or those who base their estimated payments on the actual dates of withholding tax, this form, when attached to the New Mexico PIT-1 form, serves as a declaration of opting for an alternative calculation method. It is critical to mark the corresponding indicator box on the PIT-1 form to alert the Department of this choice. Moreover, the form stipulates conditions under which no penalty is imposed, chiefly if the difference between the calculated tax and the amount withheld is less than $1,000, simplifying compliance for taxpayers. The document thoroughly guides through calculating required annual payments and installment amounts, culminating in the penalty computation for those who underpay or delay their estimated tax payments. With clear instructions for each section, including detailed formulae for penalty calculation, the RPD-41272 13 form is instrumental for taxpayers seeking to navigate their estimated tax payments effectively.

WHO MUST MAKE ESTIMATED PAYMENTS?
Every individual who must ile a personal income tax return
under the Income Tax Act also must pay estimated income tax. The way to do this is through either withholding or esti- mated tax payments. There is a penalty for underpayment or nonpayment of estimated tax.
There is no penalty for underpayment of estimated income tax if:
•You are a

•Your tax liability for the tax year is less than $1,000; or
•You are a
HOW MUCH ESTIMATED TAX SHOULD YOU PAY?
To calculate estimated tax, irst determine the “required an- nual payment” or the total amount of estimated tax to be paid
during the tax year.
The required annual payment is the lesser of:
•90% of the tax on the current year’s return (or the tax for the year if no return is iled), or
•100% of the tax on the
When you have igured the required annual payment, then
determine the amount and timing for each estimated tax installment payment.
WHEN IS EACH INSTALLMENT PAYMENT DUE?
Generally, four equal installments of the required annual payment are due on or before the 15th day of the fourth, sixth, and ninth months of the tax year and the irst month of
the following year. For most
dates are: |
|
April 15 |
June 15 |
September 15 |
January 15 |
Sometimes a due date for an estimated payment is a Satur- day, Sunday, state or national legal holiday. The estimated payment is timely when the postmark bears the date of the
next business day. Delivery by a private delivery service is
timely if the date on the delivery service records is on or before the required mailing date.
SPECIAL RULES APPLY TO CERTAIN TAXPAYERS.
There are exceptions to the general rules for determining the timing and amount of each estimated installment payment and for determining receipt of estimated payments.
Each exception is described on page 2 of these instructions.
If one of the special rules applies, you may use a special
method of calculating penalty on underpayment of estimated income tax by using Form
of Estimated Personal Income Tax Underpayment Penalty.
HOW TO REPORTASPECIAL METHOD OF CALCULATION OF ESTIMATED PERSONAL INCOME TAX UNDERPAY- MENT PENALTY.
If you qualify for a special method of calculating estimated per- sonal income tax underpayment penalty, you may reduce your penalty by iling Form
timated Personal Income Tax Underpayment Penalty with your

HOW TO COMPLETE THE INDICATOR BOX ON LINE 31, FORM
If you qualify, you must enter 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 in the indicator box on Form
of underpayment of estimated tax penatly or your estimated per- sonal income tax underpayment penalty will be calculated using the standard method. Enter 1 if you wish to compute estimated payments based on the actual dates on which all amounts of with-
holding tax were withheld for the applicable tax year. If you have annualized income and are required to ile estimated payments beginning with the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th quarter estimated installment due date, enter 2, 3, or 4 respectively. If you qualify for special rules because you are a farmer or rancher, enter 5. NOTE: Enter 5, even when you iled and paid the tax due by March 1, 2014.
HOW TO COMPLETE THIS FORM.
To calculate estimated tax using this form, irst determine the “required annual payment” in Section II. When you have igured the required annual payment, determine the amount and timing
for each estimated tax installment payment in Sections III and IV.
Use Section V to compute the penalty on underpayment of esti-
mated installment payments. If you have multiple payments for any quarter, the column for the quarter will need to be repeated. Each payment for a quarter should be computed in a separate
column. A spreadsheet can be attached that is in the same format as Section V. When completing line 21, for subsequent columns for the same quarter, subtract the previous payment(s) for the quarter from the underpayment of estimated tax for the quarter (line 19, Section IV).
If you wish the Department to calculate the penalty for you, complete Sections I through IV, mark the box on page 3 of Form
calculation method.
HOW INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS ARE APPLIED.
A payment of estimated tax is credited against unpaid or under- paid installments in the order in which the installment is required to be paid. Therefore, an installment payment is applied irst to the earliest installment payment due. Section IV, computes the underpayment on line 19, applying each payment irst to any
balance due on a prior underpaid installment.

HOW TO CALCULATE THE PENALTY FOR UNDERPAY- MENT OR NONPAYMENT OF ESTIMATED PERSONAL INCOME TAX.
Underpayment or nonpayment of estimated tax is subject to
penalty on the difference between the estimated tax payment and the actual amount of estimated tax due. Penalty accumu- lates from the due date of the estimated tax payment until the earlier of:
•the date the payment is made, or
•the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of the tax year.
New Mexico calculates penalty (in the form of interest) on
underpayment of estimated tax at the annual rate established each quarter for individual income tax purposes under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Penalty is computed on a
daily basis for each day the payment is late. The formula for calculating penalty is:
Underpay- X |
number of days late |
X effective annual |
ment due |
total days in the year |
interest rate |
|
|
for the quarter |
Beginning January 1, 2008, the interest rate is reduced to the annual rate established each quarter for individual income tax purposes under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The
IRC rate for each
No penalty applies to the fourth estimated payment if the tax- payer iles a return and pays the entire amount on or before January 31 of the following year.
If the balance due is $1,000 or more, the Department irst de- termines if the required annual payment was made in timely installments. If it was not, the Department calculates the un-
derpayment penalty and issues an assessment. If you believe
an assessment is in error, you can protest the assessment and
provide more information.
NOTE: A special rule applies for computing the underpayment
penalty for personal estimated income tax. The interest rate that applies to the 1st quarter following the tax year also applies to
the 1st 15 days of the 4th month (April) following the tax year.
HOW TO PAY AN ESTIMATED INSTALLMENT PAYMENT.
You may pay through the Department’s web site at www.tax. newmexico.gov. Click on “Online Services”. You may pay by electronic check at no charge. An electronic check authorizes the Department to debit your checking account in the amount you specify. You may also make tax payments via credit card.

ALTERNATIVE METHODS FOR CALCULATION OF ES- TIMATED PERSONAL INCOME TAX.
Annualized income. Taxpayers with seasonal income can use a modiied annualization method to determine the amount
and timing of their estimated payments. If a taxpayer does not have annualized income based on actual income received through March 31 suficient to require a payment, no payment is required. The test dates for subsequent payments are May 31, August 31 and December 31. Based on actual income received, if a taxpayer is not required to make a payment for a speciic period, the taxpayer may have to make up later in
the year for not paying the earlier installment. See Publication
Farmers and Ranchers. The law provides a special rule, identical to the federal rule, for farmers and ranchers who
expect to receive at least
their GROSS income from farming or ranching in the prior year. Farmers and ranchers who meet the gross income test may:
1)make one estimated payment in the amount of the “required annual payment” on or before January 15 of
the year following the tax year of the return, or
2)ile and pay in full on or before March 1 of the year following the tax year of the return.
On joint returns the farmer or rancher must consider the spouse’s gross income in determining whether the
Individuals who wish to compute estimated installment payments based on the actual dates on which all amounts of withholding tax were withheld for the applicable tax
year. The New Mexico income tax deducted and withheld by an employer is a payment of estimated tax. An equal amount
of the tax withheld shall be considered as paid on each install- ment due date unless the taxpayer establishes the dates on which all amounts were actually withheld. This provision may be applied separately to wage and pension withholding and other amounts withheld under the Withholding Tax Act.
