2024 D-20ES Declaration of Estimated Franchise Tax for Corporations – Washington, DC

The 2024 D-20ES is the Government of the District of Columbia voucher that accompanies a quarterly estimated tax payment, issued by the DC Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) for taxpayers making estimated payments toward their D-20 return.

The printed instructions at the top of the form give its purpose: use the D-20ES Estimated Payment Return to make any estimated tax payments for your D-20 return. The instructions are headed "D-20ES Estimated Payment for Individual Income Tax", while each voucher on the page is titled "2024 D-20ES Declaration of Estimated Franchise Tax for Corporations". Both identify the document as the D-20ES, and the voucher is the part you complete and send with your payment.

Each voucher asks for the same entries: the quarterly payment in dollars only, the Taxpayer Identification Number, the tax period ending date (MMDDYYYY), the business name or designated agent name, the business mailing address, and a voucher number and due date. A section marked OFFICIAL USE ONLY, including the Vendor ID# 0002, is left for OTR. The form tells you to print in CAPITAL letters using black ink.

The form is a payment voucher. It is not a return and it is not a property tax form. OTR's page for the 2024 D-20ES lists two versions: a Booklet and this Fill-in version.

Anyone who makes estimated tax payments for a D-20 return in the District of Columbia uses Form D-20ES to send each payment to the Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR). The printed instructions say to use it for any estimated tax payments for your D-20 return, and the voucher is addressed to a business name or its designated agent.

• Taxpayers with a D-20 return: use the voucher for each estimated payment you make toward that return.
• Designated agents: the voucher has a line for the Designated Agent name, so an agent paying for the business can be named there.

The form does not say which taxpayers are required to make estimated payments or how the payment amount is figured, so check the instructions for your D-20 return or contact OTR. Do not use the D-20ES for a return other than the D-20 return it is printed for. The form lists no other exclusions.

Use Form D-20ES each time you make an estimated tax payment for your D-20 return. The form is built for quarterly payments: it says "Quarterly payment (dollars only)" and each voucher carries its own voucher number and a Due date line, so pay by the due date shown on the voucher you are sending.

Enter the tax period ending date in the MMDDYYYY format. The page prints two identical vouchers, so you can complete one for each payment you plan to make. The form sets no deadline beyond the due date on the voucher and gives no filing window of its own, so confirm payment dates in your D-20 instructions or with OTR.

Form D-20ES is submitted by mail, with payment, to the Office of Tax and Revenue. The form names no other channel.

• By mail: send the completed D-20ES with your payment to Office of Tax and Revenue, PO Box 96019, Washington, DC 20090-6019.
• Payment: make your check or money order (US dollars) payable to the DC Treasurer.

Enter the payment on the voucher in dollars only, print in CAPITAL letters using black ink, and leave the OFFICIAL USE ONLY section blank. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the channels above.
