         In Part A, indicate if a Federal Extension was filed. 
  
 Part B - Declaration of Estimated Tax for the Following Year 
 The City of Cincinnati requires that you remit the tax during the year you earn the income to avoid interest and penalty charges.  
 We recommend that you use 100% of your previous year’s income to estimate the current year                                       tax liability to ensure that you 
 meet your estimated tax payment obligation.  If the preceding tax year was not for a full 12-month period, make estimated 
 payments based on your current year’s income or on an annualized amount of your previous year’s earnings.                            If the total 
 estimate due after applicable credits for 2024 is less than $200.00, then no declaration is required to be filed 
  
 The amount of tax due is the first of four quarterly estimated tax payments.  We will not bill you for the remaining quarterly 
 installments.  The second payment is due on 06/17/24 and is equal to the total estimated tax on line 18 divided by 4 less 
 any overpayment still available from prior years.  The third payment is due 09/16/24 and the final estimated payment is due 
 01/15/25.  Failure to remit timely estimated payments will result in the assessment of interest and penalties.
