2013 Montana Individual Estimated Income Tax Worksheet

Keep this worksheet for your records.
This worksheet helps to calculate an estimate of your 2013 income tax liability based on the information you have
available. If your situation changes or you find out values you originally used to complete this worksheet are not accurate,
you should complete this worksheet again with the updated information and adjust your remaining payments accordingly.
To estimate your 2013 income tax liability (which is defined as the total tax imposed by Title 15, chapter 30, MCA, less
any nonrefundable tax credits allowed under Montana law) you may use your 2012 income tax liability from Form 2, line
54; Form 2M, line 47; or Form 2EZ, line 15. If you choose this method, skip lines 1 through 10a and enter your 2012 tax
liability on line 10b; otherwise begin with line 1.
