WHO MUST FILE
Every federal Subchapter S banking corporation subject to the New York City Tax on Banking Corporations (Title 11, Chapter 6, Subchapter 3 of the
Administrative Code) must file a form (NYC-400B) if its estimated tax for the current year can reasonably be expected to exceed $1,000. For years be-
ginning on or after January 1, 2015, if the corporation is a federal C corporation it is subject to the Business Corporation Tax and must file Form NYC-
400 if its estimated tax for the current year can reasonably be expected to exceed $1,000. The term “estimated tax” means the amount of tax the taxpayer
estimates to be imposed by section 11-639 of the Administrative Code less the sum of the credits estimated to be allowable against the tax.
NOTE: If the current year's tax is reasonably estimated to exceed $1,000, an estimated payment is required even if this is the first year of business in
New York City for the taxpayer or the taxpayer paid only the $125 minimum tax for the preceding year. Failure to pay or underpayment of es-
timated tax in these circumstances will result in penalties.

rent year. After taking credit for that 25% payment and for the amount of any overpayment shown on last year’s return which the taxpayer elected to
