What is D-41ES?
D-41ES, Estimated Payment for Fiduciary Income Tax, is the District of Columbia payment voucher used to make estimated tax payments for an estate's or trust's Form D-41 return. It is issued by the DC Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) and printed under the heading "Government of the District of Columbia."
The 2025 PDF holds four vouchers, numbered 1 through 4. Each one is a separate payment slip with its own Quarterly payment (dollars only) box and its own Due date line. You use one voucher for each estimated payment you send.
Every voucher asks for the same identifying details: the estate or trust's federal employer ID number (FEIN), the tax period ending in MMDDYYYY format, the estate or trust name, the fiduciary's name and title, and the fiduciary's address. The form also carries a printed Vendor ID# field.
The D-41ES is a voucher, not a tax return. It does not report income or compute tax: it accompanies a payment toward the tax shown on the D-41 return. The OTR page for this form also offers a fill-in version of the 2025 D-41ES.
Who needs to file D-41ES?
Fiduciaries of estates and trusts who are making estimated tax payments for a D-41 return use the D-41ES. The form's own instruction is to use it to make any estimated tax payments for your D-41 return, and it has a line for the fiduciary's name and title.
The voucher is tied to the estate or trust, not to an individual: it asks for the estate or trust's federal employer ID number and its name, alongside the name and title of the fiduciary who is paying.
The form does not set out who is required to make estimated payments or in what amounts; it only provides the payment voucher. If you are not sending an estimated payment toward a D-41 return, this voucher is not what you need.
When to file D-41ES
Use the D-41ES whenever you make an estimated tax payment for your D-41 return. The 2025 form has four vouchers, numbered 1 to 4, and each has its own Due date line, so pay with the voucher whose number and due date match the payment you are making.
The voucher has no separate filing deadline apart from those due dates: it travels with the payment. Complete and mail one voucher with each payment rather than combining several payments on one voucher.
Documents you need
- Check or money order in US dollars, payable to the DC Treasurer, for the estimated payment shown on the voucher. Write the estate or trust FEIN, the tax period ending and D-41 on it.
