What is D-30ES?
Form D-30ES, the Unincorporated Business Declaration of Estimated Franchise Tax, is a payment voucher from the Government of the District of Columbia, published by the Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR), used to make estimated tax payments toward your D-30 return for 2025.
The form is a voucher, not a return. The printed instructions say to use the D-30ES to make any estimated tax payments for your D-30 return, so the return itself is a different document. Each voucher records a quarterly payment in whole dollars, your Taxpayer Identification Number (marked as an FEIN or an SSN), the tax period ending date in MMDDYYYY format, the business name or designated agent name and the business mailing address. A voucher number and a due date are printed on it, next to an area marked OFFICIAL USE ONLY.
The PDF carries two identical vouchers on its page, each with the same fields. It also gives the payment rules: print in capital letters using black ink, make the check or money order payable in US dollars to the DC Treasurer, and mail it with the voucher to OTR's post office box.
OTR lists the 2025 D-30ES in two versions on its publication page: a Booklet and a Fill-in version. The fillable PDF on this page is the Fill-in version.
Who needs to file D-30ES?
Businesses that make estimated tax payments for a D-30 return use Form D-30ES. The voucher is titled Unincorporated Business Declaration of Estimated Franchise Tax, and its instructions tell you to use it for any estimated tax payments toward your D-30 return.
Details from the form itself:
- A taxpayer identified by a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) fills in the FEIN option; a taxpayer identified by a Social Security number (SSN) fills in the SSN option.
- The name line accepts either the business name or the Designated Agent name, so an agent named for the business appears there.
- Each quarterly payment needs its own voucher, identified by the voucher number and due date printed on it.
The voucher does not replace the D-30 return and is not a way to file that return. The form states no use for any other tax or payment type.
When to file D-30ES
Submit a D-30ES voucher with each estimated payment, by the due date printed on that voucher. Every voucher shows its own voucher number and due date, so check them before you mail the payment. The form prints no other deadline, and it states the voucher is for the 2025 estimated payments toward your D-30 return. The tax period ending date you write on the voucher uses the MMDDYYYY format.
Documents you need
- A check or money order in US dollars payable to the DC Treasurer, mailed together with the completed D-30ES voucher.
