What is FR-127F?
FR-127F, Extension of Time to File a Fiduciary Income Tax Return, is the District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) form and mailing voucher used to ask for more time to file the fiduciary income tax return of an estate or trust for tax year 2024.
The form has two working parts. The top part is a short worksheet that determines the amount due: line 1 is the total estimated income tax liability for 2024, line 2 is the 2024 estimated tax payments, and line 3 is the amount due with the request, which is line 1 minus line 2 when line 1 is larger. The bottom part is the voucher, which you detach at the perforation and mail to OTR with any payment due.
The voucher identifies the estate or trust by its federal employer identification number (FEIN), name and tax period ending, and gives the fiduciary's name, title and address. It also has a box to fill in if you are living or traveling outside the U.S., and a keep-for-your-records portion.
The form refers to the fiduciary return as the D-41 return. FR-127F is the request for time and the payment voucher; it is not the return itself, and it has nothing to do with DC property tax.
Who needs to file FR-127F?
A fiduciary of an estate or trust that needs more time to file its 2024 fiduciary income tax return with the District of Columbia files FR-127F. The form asks for the estate or trust's FEIN and name, and for the fiduciary's name and title, so it is completed on behalf of the estate or trust and not as an individual.
Points that affect who can use it as written:
- The form is tied to the D-41 return: the payment deadline it states is the original due date of that return.
- Payment is part of the request. The form says you must send payment in full with the voucher or the request will be denied.
- You may not pay by credit card; the form accepts only a check or money order in US dollars.
- Filers living or traveling outside the U.S. fill in the box printed for that situation.
The form does not cover individual income tax or property tax, and it does not describe any other person who may sign or file for the fiduciary.
When to file FR-127F
Send the FR-127F voucher and any payment by the original due date of the D-41 return, not by the extended filing date. The form says this twice in different words: payment must be mailed by the original due date, and to avoid penalties and interest it must be postmarked no later than the due date of your return.
Because the request is denied if payment in full does not accompany the voucher, the amount on line 3 has to be ready before you mail it. The form itself does not print the length of the extension or a separate processing time, so check OTR for those details.
Documents you need
- Check or money order in US dollars payable to the DC Treasurer for the amount on line 3, attached to the FR-127F voucher, with the estate or trust FEIN and "2024 FR-127F" written on it. Credit cards are not accepted.
How to fill out FR-127F

Fill in the tax period ending in the format printed beside the box. Use the period of the return you are requesting time to file.
Mark the outside-U.S. box if it applies
Fill in the box labeled Fill in if Living or Traveling Outside the U.S. only if that describes you; otherwise leave it blank.
Enter the estate or trust name
Write the name of the estate or trust, then the fiduciary's name and title on the line below.
Enter the fiduciary's address
Give the number, street and suite or apartment number if applicable, then the city, state and Zip Code + 4.
