Kentucky Form 740-PTET-ES

This article explains how pass-through entities complete and submit Kentucky Form 740-PTET-ES for 2026 estimated pass-through entity tax payments.

Kentucky Form 740-PTET-ES is the 2026 Pass-Through Entity Tax Estimated Voucher used to submit estimated Kentucky PTET payments. It is generally used by eligible pass-through entities that need to make estimated payments toward Kentucky pass-through entity tax for the taxable year. The voucher helps Kentucky correctly apply the payment to the entity’s tax account by collecting the taxable year ending date, LLET account number if available, Federal Employer Identification Number, entity name, payment amount, mailing address, and contact information. This form is not a full tax return. It is a payment voucher that should be sent with the estimated payment so the Department of Revenue can match the payment to the correct business entity and tax period. Because the form is payment-focused, accuracy is very important. The entity name, FEIN, payment amount, and taxable year ending date should match the tax records and estimated tax calculation. If the voucher is filled out incorrectly, the payment may be delayed, misapplied, or require correction later.

How To File Kentucky Form 740-PTET-ES

Complete the voucher with the entity’s correct identifying details and payment amount. Round the payment to the nearest dollar. Cut the voucher on the dotted line before mailing it. Send the completed voucher with the payment to Kentucky Department of Revenue, Frankfort, Kentucky 40619-0006. Keep a copy of the completed voucher and proof of payment for the entity’s records. Do not write in the official use only area, because that section is reserved for Kentucky processing.
