Tax Calendar

If you want to extend your tax returns, a few things to keep in mind. First, we must get explicit approval from you to extend your tax returns. We cannot legally file an extension without permission. So, if we don’t hear from you an extension will not be filed. Failure to file is a huge penalty (5% per month based on tax due).

Second, an extension to file is NOT an extension to pay. Taxes are due upon the original filing deadline (March 15 for S Corps and Partnerships, and April 15 for Individuals and C Corps). If you want us to help determine your general tax liability so you may send a payment with the extension, please let us know by the eFile Authorization deadline above. Failure to pay is a smaller penalty (0.5% per month based on tax due).

Don’t be fooled by pass-thru entities. Several states such as California, New Jersey and others have a business tax return which computes a business tax, such as a franchise tax.

Failure to file and failure to pay penalties do not apply when you are receiving a tax refund. Here are some important dates to keep in mind throughout the year-

January 15 Q4 estimated tax payment for prior year
March 15 S Corp (Form 1120S) Partnership (Form 1065) tax returns Flex spending (FSA) requests
April 15 Individual (Form 1040) tax returns C Corp (Form 1120) tax returns Q1 estimated tax payment IRA or Roth IRA contribution for prior year
June 15 Q2 estimated tax payment Soft extension for expats
September 15 Q3 estimated tax payment S Corp and Partnership on extension
October 15 Individual and C Corp tax returns on extension
January 15 Next Year Q4 estimated tax payment
January 31 Next Year W2s and 1099s to recipients
February 28 Next Year W3s for all W2s issued for the previous year

IRS Publication 509 details all kinds of dates way beyond the biggies above. Check it out-

Professional Consultation

Did you want to chat about this? Do you have questions about Tax Calendar? Let’s chat!

The tax advisors and business consultants at WCG are not salespeople; we are not putting lipstick on a pig expecting you to love it. Our job remains being professionally detached, giving you information and letting you decide within our ethical guidelines and your risk profiles.

We see far too many crazy schemes and half-baked ideas from attorneys and wealth managers. In some cases, they are good ideas. In most cases, all the entities, layering and mixed ownership is only the illusion of precision. As Chris Rock says, just because you can drive your car with your feet doesn’t make it a good idea. In other words, let’s not automatically convert “you can” into “you must.” Yes, it is fun to brag about how complicated your world is at cocktail parties, but let’s not unnecessarily complicate it for the bragging rights.

Let’s chat so you can be smart about it.

We typically schedule a 20-minute complimentary quick chat with one of our Partners or Senior Tax Professionals to determine if we are a good fit for each other, and how an engagement with our team looks. Tax returns only? Business advisory? Tax prep, and more importantly tax strategy and planning?

Should we need to schedule an additional consultation, our fee is $250 for 40 minutes. Fun! If we decide to press forward with a Business Advisory or Tax Patrol Services engagement, we will credit the consultation fee towards those services.
