Understanding Corporate Tax Deadlines in the USA
Tax deadlines are crucial for maintaining compliance and avoiding penalties. The specific dates depend on your business structure and fiscal year end date.
S Corporations & Partnerships
- Primary Deadline (Forms 1120-S, 1065): The due date for filing the business tax return is the 15th day of the 3rd month after the end of the company's fiscal year.
- Example: For a business with a December 31st fiscal year end, the deadline is March 15th.
- Extension: A 6-month extension can be requested by filing Form 7004, which moves the deadline to September 15th (for a Dec 31st year-end).
C Corporations
- Primary Deadline (Form 1120): The due date for filing is the 15th day of the 4th month after the end of the company's fiscal year.
- Example: For a C-Corp with a December 31st fiscal year end, the deadline is April 15th.
- Extension: A 6-month extension can also be requested using Form 7004, moving the deadline to October 15th (for a Dec 31st year-end).
Important Note on Weekends & Holidays
If a tax deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday observed in the District of Columbia (like Emancipation Day), the deadline is automatically moved to the next business day. This tool automatically adjusts for these occurrences.
