For Example

In a hypothetical January 2016 tax period...

December 2015's total tax liability equaled $1,000,000 and January 2015's total tax liability equaled $1,500,000. The taxpayer elects to base the January 2016 prepayment on December 2015's total tax liability because it is the lesser amount.

  • Therefore, a $750,000 prepayment (75% of $1,000,000) is due on January 20, 2016.
  • After month end the business determines that January 2016's actual total tax liability equals $1,225,000.
  • Thus, a reconciliation payment of $475,000 is due by February 20, 2016 ($1,225,000 minus $750,000 prepayment).
