Relates to the timing of annual tax elections
This bill changes the deadline for partnerships and S corporations to elect annual tax payment schedules, requiring the election to be made by September 15th each year. It affects electing partnerships, S corporations, and city partnerships/resident S corporations by establishing specific payment schedules based on when the election is filed: earlier filings trigger four equal installments, while later filings require larger initial payments (25% to 75%) with fewer subsequent payments. The bill specifies that elections made after March 15th must include a larger initial payment proportional to the timing of the filing, with all payments due by December 15th. The required annual payment amount is based on the lesser of 90% of current-year tax or 100% of prior-year tax.

MINOR
This bill amends New York's tax law to change when taxpayers must make annual tax elections and how estimated tax payments are structured for certain partnerships and S corporations. The key change is moving the deadline for making annual tax elections from the due date of the first estimated payment to September 15th of the taxable year, and simplifying the payment schedule requirements.
TIMELINE
Extended the deadline for making annual tax elections from the due date of the first estimated payment to September 15th of the taxable year, giving taxpayers more time to decide on their tax election status.
REQUIREMENT
Simplified the estimated tax payment schedule for partnerships and S corporations by removing the distinction for early elections and establishing clear payment percentages based on when the election is made during the year.
Updated the language regarding when elections become irrevocable to align with the new September 15th deadline rather than the previous due date of the first estimated payment.
