Statutory Authority: Conn. Gen. Stat. §12-722.

General Instructions: Banking institutions making estimated fiduciary income tax payments for multiple accounts can issue a single check as payment for up to 50 fiduciary accounts. However, all payments must be for the same quarter. Filing eligibility for a calendar quarter is determined based upon the number of payments in that calendar quarter. The fiduciary must have a minimum of two accounts for which estimated payments are required in a filing quarter. When the fiduciary has more than 50 accounts, the fiduciary may make payments in payment group(s) of no more than 50 accounts to be included in a single check. When filing more than one payment group, the last payment group may contain less than 50 accounts.

Form Instructions: The following format should be used when filing for Form CT-1041ES, Estimated Connecticut Income Tax Payment Coupon for Trusts and Estates, for multiple accounts:

• Upper left hand corner has the name of the banking institution and the banking institution’s mailing address;
• Include the banking institution contact name and phone number;
• Tax year must be clearly stated;

  • Account Name;
  • Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN); and
  • Amount paid (all dollar amount must have comas and decimal points)
• The table must have a line between each entry;
• The bottom of the page (footer) must contain page number with total number of pages; and
• After the last entry, just outside the table, there must be a Total. This dollar amount should be under the Amount Paid column.  This amount should be the amount of the check submitted by the banking institution for each group of 50.
