TAX DEADLINES

Individual Federal Income Tax Filing

Individual Tax Deadline

Every person who earns a certain minimum amount of income must file a tax return every year.

An individual tax return is an official form that a person or married couple submits to a federal, state, or local taxing agency. It's used to report all taxable income received during a specific period, usually the previous year. This record is used to assess the amount of tax due or overpaid for that period.
Tax returns must be submitted by a deadline. That date is usually April 15th each year.

NOTE: If a federal tax deadline falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the due date is automatically extended to the next business day.

LLC & Non-Profit Tax Filing Deadlines

Federal filing deadlines for calendar-year LLCs by tax classification:

LLC taxed as Partnership & S corporation - March 15
Single-member LLC & C corporation - April 15
LLC taxed as Partnership & S corporation - September 15 tax extension deadline
Single-member LLC & C corporation - October 15 tax extension deadline
Non-profit organizations standard tax filing deadline is 15th day of the 5th month

NOTE: If a federal tax deadline falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the due date is automatically extended to the next business day.

Key Takeaways

Business tax deadlines depend on entity type: sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, S corporation, or C corporation. Most federal business taxes are due between March 15 and April 15, with quarterly estimated taxes throughout the year.

The IRS Form 7004 allows for filing extensions, but payments are still due by the original deadline.

Quarterly estimated taxes for self-employed individuals and corporations are due April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15.

Annual Report Filing

Key Things to Know About Annual Reports:

Filing an annual report is more than a formality. It’s how your business stays in compliance and keeps its legal protection. Here’s what you need to know. – Almost Every State Requires It: All US states require some form of annual report filing, except Ohio. That means if your business is registered anywhere else, you’ve got to file a yearly business report to stay in good standing. These filings are required for corporations, nonprofits, LLCs, LPs, and LLPs. The goal is to keep state records up to date with essential company details such as business address, registered agent, and names of directors or managers. States generally use one of two systems to set annual report due dates. Annual report filing deadlines vary by state and entity type, with most falling either on a fixed calendar date or during the anniversary month of the business’s original formation. Filing fees range from $0 to roughly $800 depending on your state and business structure, and missing the deadline can lead to late penalties, loss of good standing, and eventually administrative dissolution.

Annual report filing in the US states isn’t just a requirement; it’s a core part of keeping your business legally active and protected. And with every state having its own set of rules, due dates, and terminology, it’s easy to see how even experienced business owners can slip up. Whether you’re filing a Statement of Information in California, a Biennial Report in Iowa, or a Franchise Tax Report in Texas, the responsibility is on you to get it right and get it in on time.
