Who Must File Form 2210–K—In general, you may owe a penalty for 2023 if you owe more than $500 and if the total of your withholding and timely estimated tax payments didn’t equal at least the smaller of: 1. 90% of your 2023 tax , or 2. 100% of your 2022 tax. Your 2022 tax return must cover a 12–month period. Special rules for certain individuals—Different percentages are used for farmers and fishermen, and certain higher income taxpayers. Farmers and fishermen—If at least two-thirds of your Kentucky gross income for 2022 or 2023 is from farming and fishing, substitute 66 2/3% for 90% in (1) above. See federal Form 2210 instructions. Higher income taxpayers—If your Kentucky adjusted gross income for 2022 was more than $150,000 ($75,000 if your Kentucky 2022 filing status was married filing separately on a combined return or separate returns), substitute 110% for 100% in (2) above. Part I—Exceptions to the Penalty—You may not owe a penalty if one of the exceptions below are met. If you meet one or more of the exceptions, check the appropriate box(es), complete the lines associated with the exception and check the “Form 2210-K attached” box on form 740, line 34(a) (Form 740-NP, line 34(a)). If none of the exceptions apply, go to Part II. Exceptions: • You had no liability for 2022, you were a U.S. Citizen or resident alien for the entire year (or an estate of a domestic decedent or a domestic trust), and your 2022 tax return (or would have been required to file) was for a full 12 months. • The tax shown on the 2023 return minus the amount of tax you paid through withholding, estimated payments, and refundable credits is less than $500. • Your gross income from farming or fishing is at least two‑thirds of your annual gross income from all sources for 2022 or 2023 and you paid the entire tax due by March 1, 2024. • You’re filing a decedent’s estate return for any tax year ending before the date that is two years after the decedent’s death. • You’re filing a trust return for a trust that was owned by a decedent for any tax year ending before the date that is two years after the decedent’s death. Part II—Required Annual Payment Lines 1–8—This section is used to calculate your required annual payment. The required annual payment is used to calculate the amount of payment that you should have made each quarter. The required annual payment is the lesser of: (1) 90% of your income tax liability after refundable credits are applied or (2) 100% of the tax shown on your 2022 tax return (2022 Form 740 or Form 740NP, page 1, line 26 or Form 741, line 20). Higher income taxpayers see instructions above. Line 9—Multiply line 8 by 25 percent (.25) and enter in columns A through D, or if you used the annualized income installment method in Part III, enter the amount from Part III, line 20 into the appropriate columns. To use the annualized income installment method complete Part III. 42A740–S1 (10-23) 2023 Line 10—Enter the sum of estimated tax payments made and Kentucky withholding for each quarter. If you have Kentucky income tax withheld, multiply the total by 25 percent (.25) and enter in columns A through D. If you had a credit forward from a prior year return, enter the total amount in column A only. Note: Complete lines 11 through 18 for column A before going to column B, etc. Line 11—Enter amount from line 18 of the previous column. This amount should be the overpayment if any from the previous column. Line 13—Enter amount from line 17 of the previous column. This amount should be the underpayment amount from the previous column that will be carried over to each column until the payment is made. Line 17—This is the underpayment amount for that column and any underpayment from the previous columns. The underpayment will continue to carryover to the next column until the payment is made or the due date, whichever is earlier. Figuring the Penalty—The penalty will be calculated on each underpayment in each column from the payment due date written above line 9 to the date on line 19 or the date the payment was made, whichever is earlier. The underpayments will carryover to the next column and be added to that columns underpayment to calculate the penalty on that balance. Line 19—Use this date to calculate the number of days that the current interest amount will be based upon, unless the underpayment was paid prior to this date. Line 20—This is the number of days from the payment due date shown above line 9 to the date the amount on line 17 was paid or the date shown on line 19 for the column in which you are calculating penalty. For example, if your underpayment on line 17 for column A is $1,000, you would calculate the penalty from 4-15-23 to 6-15‑23 and enter 61 days on line 20. If this $1,000 remains unpaid, it will be added to any underpayment in column B and you would calculate interest from 6-15-23 until 9-15-23 which would be 92 days for that period, etc. Line 21—The annual percentage rate is established by the Department of Revenue for each calendar year. The percentage rate for calendar years 2023 is 8 percent and 2024 is 11 percent. The penalty calculation for the required third installment payment may be calculated using two different rates. Part III—Annualized Income Installment Method If your income varied during the year you may be able to lower or eliminate the amount of one or more required installments by using the annualized income installment method. For example, you operated your business on a seasonal basis or you had a large capital gain late in the year. Note: If you use Part III for any payment due dates, you must use it for all payment due dates. Line 1—For each period (column), figure your total income minus your adjustments to income. Include your share of partnership or S corporation income or loss items for the period. Line 2—Estates and trusts don’t use the amounts shown in columns (a) through (d). See Federal instructions. Line 6—If you itemized deductions, multiply line 4 of each column by line 5 and enter the result on line 6. Line 7—Enter the standard deduction amount of $2,980. Line 10—Form 740 or 740-NP filers, enter -0- in each column. Estates and trusts see federal instructions. Page 4 of 4

Kentucky usually releases forms for the current tax year between January and April. We last updated Kentucky Form 2210-K from the Department of Revenue in February 2024.
Form 2210-K is a Kentucky Individual Income Tax form. While most taxpayers have income taxes automatically withheld every pay period by their employer, taxpayers who earn money that is not subject to withholding (such as self employed income, investment returns, etc) are often required to make estimated tax payments on a quarterly basis. Failure to make correct estimated payments can result in interest or penalties.
About the Individual Income Tax
The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.
Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
