As the corporate tax deadline approaches, businesses must stay informed and prepared to meet their tax obligations efficiently. At Kamish & Associates, we understand the importance of compliance and strategic tax planning to minimize liabilities while ensuring timely submissions.
Key Corporate Tax Deadlines The corporate tax filing deadline varies based on the entity type and fiscal year-end. Generally, businesses operating on a calendar-year basis (ending December 31) must file their federal corporate tax returns (Form 1120) by April 15.
For S corporations and partnerships, the filing deadline is typically March 15, with an option to request a six-month extension, shifting the due date to September 15. C corporations may also apply for an extension, moving their deadline to October 15.
Penalties for Late Filing Failure to meet the corporate tax deadline can result in penalties and interest charges. The IRS imposes a late filing penalty of 5% of the unpaid taxes per month, up to a maximum of 25%. Late payment penalties accrue at 0.5% per month on the unpaid amount. To avoid these penalties, businesses should file on time or request an extension if needed.
