Returns required by this chapter shall be signed by the taxpayer, and spouse if applicable, and by their authorized representative, subject to the pains and penalties of perjury provided in RSA 21-J:39. By signing a return, a taxpayer shall certify that they are a resident or inhabitant of this state for the taxable period or that portion of that taxable period in which they are a resident or inhabitant.
II. At the same time the return is filed, as required by paragraph I, every taxpayer as defined in RSA 77-H:3 shall, in addition, file a declaration of their estimated tax for its subsequent taxable period; provided, however, that if the estimated tax is less than $500, a declaration need not be filed; and provided further that a declaration shall be filed at the end of any quarter thereafter in which the annualized estimated tax exceeds $500.
III.(a) One quarter of the taxpayer's estimated tax for the subsequent taxable period is due and payable on the fifteenth day of the fourth month of the subsequent taxable year; 1/4 is due and payable on the fifteenth day of the sixth month of the subsequent taxable year; 1/4 is due and payable on the fifteenth day of the ninth month of the subsequent taxable year; and 1/4 is due and payable on the fifteenth day of the twelfth month of the subsequent taxable year, unless the taxpayer is a calendar year taxpayer in which case the final 1/4 is due and payable on the fifteenth day of the January next following the tax year.
(b) If the return required by this section shows an additional amount to be due, such additional amount is due and payable on the original statutory due date. If such return shows an overpayment of the tax due, the commissioner shall refund or credit the overpayment to the taxpayer in accordance with RSA 21-J:28-a.
IV. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs I-III, the following individuals shall not be required to file a return and shall not be considered to have gross or net taxable income for the purposes of this chapter:

V. A taxpayer may elect to credit all or a portion of the education tax credit computed under RSA 77-G:4 against the tax due and payable under this chapter.
VI. Every small business corporation within this state, the stockholders of which have elected, or elect, to report their share of the corporation's taxable income upon their individual federal income tax returns, pursuant to federal tax laws and regulations, shall annually on or before May 1, file a list of the names and addresses of all stockholders during the preceding year together with the amount of dividends paid to each with the department of revenue administration. Provided, however, the information report shall not be filed in any year that no such dividends are paid and provided further that stockholders not legally residents in the state of New Hampshire shall not be listed.
VII. Taxpayers who file a federal income tax return on a fiscal year basis shall file the return required by this chapter on the same fiscal year, paying the tax due on the fifteenth day of the fourth month following the end of said fiscal year. Taxpayers who elect for federal tax purposes to change their tax year shall have an exemption allowed under RSA 77-H:7 in the same proportion as their tax year bears to the calendar year.
VIII. For good cause, the commissioner may extend the time within which a taxpayer is required to file a return, and if such return is filed during the period of extension no penalty may be imposed for failure to file the return at the time required by this chapter, but the taxpayer shall be liable for interest and late payment charges as prescribed in RSA 21-J:28, 21-J:32, or 21-J:33. Failure to file the return within the period of extension shall void the extension.
77-H:15 Interest. Any taxpayer who fails to make payment with a return when due shall be subject to interest computed as prescribed in RSA 21-J:28.

77-H:17 Reassessment by Department of Revenue Administration. The department of revenue administration shall reassess the amount of the tax in cases in which it appears in the examination of the returns that the amount paid is either higher or lower than the actual tax due. The department shall notify the taxpayer of any corrections made. If the department of revenue administration determines a deficiency, the amount of said deficiency and interest as prescribed in RSA 21-J:28 shall be forwarded by the taxpayer to the department of revenue administration. If the reassessment results in a determination of overpayment, the amount of the excess shall be repaid to the taxpayer in the manner provided by RSA 21-J:28-a. All assessments made under this section shall be subject to the same right of appeal as provided in RSA 21-J:28-b, and nothing contained in this section shall be construed to limit the power of the commissioner to make a later assessment under RSA 21-J:29 and to seek penalties for fraudulent returns as provided by RSA 77-H:19.
77-H:18 Corrections. Each taxpayer shall report to the commissioner any change in the amount of the taxpayer's income as provided in RSA 77-H:5 as finally determined by the United States Internal Revenue Service with respect to any beneficial interest for which the taxpayer has made a return under this chapter. Such a report shall be made not later than 6 months after the taxpayer has received notice that such change has been finally determined. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a taxpayer reporting a correction pursuant to this section shall be given notice by the department of any adjustment to the tax due with respect to such correction within 6 months after the filing of the report.
77-H:19 Penalty; Fraudulent or Incorrect Return. For purposes of the application of RSA 21-J:31 to this chapter, if a return is not filed when due and the failure to file a return when due is not a violation of any provision of RSA 21-J:39, then neither the $10 nor the $50 alternate penalties of RSA 21-J:31 shall apply to the return.

Any lien imposed by the commissioner shall have priority over all other liens and encumbrances except for prior recorded first and second mortgages.
77-H:21 Taxpayer Records.

METHODOLOGY:
This bill enacts a new Interest and Dividends (I&D) Tax under RSA 77-H at a rate of 5% effective for taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025. This new I&D Tax will have higher income thresholds and exemptions, and exemptions for taxpayers 65 years of age or older, blind taxpayers, and disabled, unable to work taxpayers that have not reached their 65th birthday. The income threshold in determining taxable income for individuals, partnerships, limited liability companies, associations, and court appointed executors is $7,500 from tax periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025. For tax years beginning January 1, 2027, the Department is required to biennially adjust these threshold amounts rounding to the nearest $500 based on the 2-year (24-month) percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, Northeast Region as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, United States Department of Labor using the amount published for the month of June in the year prior to the start of the tax year.
The Department states this bill will increase State General Fund revenue by an indeterminable amount beginning in FY 2025. The Department is not able to determine the exact fiscal impact as it has no method to determine future I&D tax liability, credit carryforward amounts and future inflation. However, the Department is able to provide an estimate of the fiscal impact based on the following assumptions/data:
The tables below provide the tax year splits to fiscal years and the potential fiscal impact of the proposed the I&D tax.
Table 1. I&D Revenue Tax Year Splits to Fiscal Year
Fiscal Year | Tax Year | % Applicable to Tax Year | Current Law I&D Rates | Proposed Law I&D Rates |
FY 2024 | TY 2022 | 5% | 5.0% | 5.0% |
TY 2023 | 68% | 4.0% | 4.0% | |
TY 2024 | 27% | 3.0% | 3.0% | |
FY 2025 | TY 2023 | 5% | 4.0% | 4.0% |
TY 2024 | 68% | 3.0% | 3.0% | |
TY 2025 | 27% | 0.0% | 5.0% | |
FY 2026 | TY 2024 | 5% | 0.0% | 3.0% |
TY 2025 | 68% | 0.0% | 5.0% | |
TY 2026 | 27% | 0.0% | 5.0% | |
FY 2027 | TY 2025 and forward | 100% | 0.0% | 5.0% |
Table 2: Static Analysis of I&D Rate Change Impact on Revenue
Fiscal Year | Current Law Revenue (Based on TY 2021) | Estimated Revenue w/ Proposed Rate Change | Estimated Fiscal Impact Per Year | Cumulative Fiscal Impact |
2024 | $105,000,000 | $105,000,000 | $0 | $0 |
2025 | $62,300,000 | $94,600,000 | $32,300,000 | $32,300,000 |
2026 | $4,200,000 | $117,800,000 | $113,600,000 | $145,900,000 |
2027 | $0 | $119,500,000 | $119,500,000 | $265,400,000 |
The fiscal impact as depicted in the above table may be overstated or understated for future years depending on whether actual revenue is more or less than the TY 2021 net taxable income used for the analysis of this bill.
The Department would need to update all necessary tax return forms and electronic management systems to reflect the changes contained in this bill; however, it is not anticipated this will result in any additional administrative costs that could not be absorbed in the Department's operating budget.
